Step back in time with us to the golden era of drumming, from the roaring '20s to the vibrant '50s, where the Gretsch flagship drum set, the iconic Broadkaster Series, reigned supreme. Crafted with a slender, three-ply shell, this legendary kit was the birthplace of "That Great Gretsch Sound," a timbre that has resonated through the ages. Fast forward to today, within the bustling walls of the Gretsch Drum Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, the Broadkaster has made an epic comeback. Thanks to cutting-edge drum-crafting methods, the revered sound of the original Broadkaster Series drums is once again echoing throughout the music world.
The construction of Broadkaster shells is a symphony of precision and tradition, utilizing a North American maple/poplar/maple blend that sings with every strike. Each shell is meticulously crafted with an interior-ply scarf joint, bestowing extraordinary strength upon these thin yet resonant shells. And, in true Gretsch fashion, every drum that leaves the USA factory is graced with the classic Gretsch Silver Sealer inside, a hallmark of quality and craftsmanship.
But the magic doesn't end there. Each shell is artfully hand-finished with an exclusive reverse roundover bearing edge, designed to maximize the contact area between the drumhead and the shell. This masterful touch draws out a tone that's not just deep, but profoundly warm—capturing the hearts of drummers and audiences alike. Rediscover the warmth of an old friend with the reimagined Broadkaster, a drum set that is as timeless as it is revolutionary.
