Gretsch Drums introduce the Renown 57 Silver Oyster Pearl drum kit. However, it will be a limited edition available for one year only.
In January, 2011, Gretsch Drums went against the grain and conventional design introducing the special edition Renown 57 drum set. It featured a quite unique look thanks to its classic car colors and the chevron logo, which received recognition throughout the world. Despite being discontinued for some years, order requests for these limited edition kits are still sent to Gretsch on a regular basis.
Only available in 2021, this Renown kit features the 7-ply maple shell, 30 degree bearing edges, 302 double flange hoops, silver sealer interiors and Low Profile GTS system. The new Renown 57 has silver oyster inlay hoops and traditional 14” depth bass drums with no mounts.
The Renown 57 Silver Oyster Pearl Nitron finish is available in two configurations:
- RN2-J483V-SOP: 14×18 Bass Drum, 8×12 Rack Tom, 14×14 Floor Tom
- RN2-E425V-SOP: 14×22 Bass Drum, 8×10 & 8×12 Rack Toms, 16×16 Floor Tom, 6.5×14 Snare Drum
The company’s press release reads: “Continuing the tradition of ‘That Great Gretsch Sound’, the Limited Edition Renown 57 has an incredible open, harmonic tone that supplies the flexibility needed to meet the demands of the hardest working drummers.”
