Rich, well-rounded, thunderous low end.

Foreverinsearch 14.10.2018

I was looking for the archetypal mahogany shell sound and this has delivered : rich, well-rounded, thunderous low end. I use it primarily as a standalone, high impact element in live performance. When mic'd up and run through a concert PA this can achieve thrilling sonic presence.

Good durable hardware means this stands up to touring and transit. Not the cheapest option but the high build quality and sonic power makes for good value.

I would say - if you're not too picky about sound character in a floor tom I would recommend cheaper alternatives, perhaps this is more for anyone chasing the specific Mahogany character. There are Gretsch Catalina demo videos online where you can listen first if you haven't already.

That great Gretsch sound

The Penholder 12.05.2025

Das Floortom ist nicht nur eine Augenweide, es klingt auch großartig. Der Sound ist voluminös, aber nicht „dröhnig“. Besonders im Zusammenspiel mit seinem etwas kleineren Bruder in 16“ sorgt es für einen schönen Teppich im Sinne von Krupas Sing, sing, sing-Intro.
Ich habe Evans Calftone-Felle aufgezogen, aber auch mit den mitgelieferten Remofellen geht es gleich gut los. Die Stimmschrauben sind leichtgängig und halten die Stimmung.
Uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung von mir!

Comme toujours, représente bien la qualité réputée de la marque. super son puissant. Attention au réglage pas facile au début avec la tendance de trop serrer.
