Gretsch Drums & DDLA 2021 - All the latest gear

[@GergoBorlaiOfficial]

Guys, I'm the proudest guy on the planet! Thank you Gretsch your amazing support! Having a signature Gretsch snare is more than I dreamed of!

[@TTPDrums]

Well deserved!

[@gretschdrumsusa]

🙏

[@ramencurry6672]

High quality

[@policeluber6720]

All about the player the drums are insignificant at this level

[@jas_bataille]

@@policeluber6720 Not really, no. Not when you're touring and recording all the time and need something that will always tune extremely well, stand the rigours of touring, look classy, and give you all the back-line support you need. On the contrary - what drums you play don't matter when you study and develop your skills. Sure, all those players would sound great on anything - but in actuality, the higher you go, the more it matters.

[@dannypagan7846]

As a Gretsch player for over 40 years, they’ve sounded great in every musical situation. Still blown away!

[@thesneakygamer4343]

Borlai blows me away every time.

[@artcorvolet]

Laggy Gamer 🤔

[@bjornandersson6713]

Carlock is such a beast!

[@briangardner5905]

I have played drums for over 50 years. I am now 70's, but have been playing Gretsch (because of Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones). I would choose a Gretsch drum ALL in that beautiful Teal color. The black is OK, but solid Teal...WOW! Love the sound of Gretsch drums. Brian - Manzanita acoustic band - Las Vegas, NV

[@briangardner5905]

Love the traditional 1960's sizes: 5.5 x 14 snare, 14x22, toms 8x12; 9x13; floor toms 14 x 14 & 16 x 16; 14x22 BD. Just got a mini Gretsch snare drum for use in the acoustic band. Love the darker wood finishes. Miss Mr. Charlie Watts a lot (Rolling Stones). He is my Gretsch hero! Brian Gardner - Manzanita acoustic band - Las Vegas, NV

[@progression_decibel]

The Caribbean Twilight and Silver Mist Duco finishes are gorgeous!!

[@jermss_]

both Keith's and gergos snares sound amazing

[@idn]

A stellar performance by Gergo!

[@Maxroffe56]

My Gretsch kit was made in 71. Of course I still have 'em!

[@ramencurry6672]

It’s like owning a diamond. Those drums are fine cut jewels.

[@miles-178]

Gary is my No.1 drummer and perfect, no ego, guy !!!!! i highy recommend to talk to him after the gig, if possible .... the coolest person ever!!!!

[@JakeStaffin]

My favorites here are the finishes for the USA Custom and Brooklyn, as well as Keith's new snare!!

[@FerValles72]

holy crap! the Carlock drum!!! and Gary is my hero by far

[@commonman317]

Chris Fryar doing a little U2 Gloria intro there. That set sounds booming for its size, really nice.

[@frozd58]

Great content. I appreciate videos of this quality are expensive to do and require lot of logistics but this is such a nice way to promote the new products. At this time of the year ,you would normally be listening to small talks from a NAMM booth in a loud environment where you can't actually listen to the products .

[@gretschdrumsusa]

Thank you. It was quite an undertaking.

[@marcburrows5783]

Bought my first USA custom a few years ago and just ordered my second. It’s exactly what I want in a drum sound.

[@ramencurry6672]

Gretsch drums are quality. Drums fit for a king

[@JMcNultyDrums]

Great new products, I was hoping for more finish options on the Brooklyn line.

[@carlosleon9580]

I’m getting that KC snare! So nice 👌🏽

[@artcorvolet]

I’ve got one!!!!

[@robertdirocco1885]

I would much rather see these types of videos then having to listen to them screaming over the background noise at Namm

[@jas_bataille]

Gary knows what he's talking about, because my Gretsch RD II maple snare with tripled-flanged hoops is the phattest snare I have for sure!

[@terrydonegan1622]

Wow that snare drum!!

[@DaGretschguy]

Loving the new Gretsch offerings! ❤️🥁🔥

[@gretschdrumsusa]

🙏

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Getsch makes some beautiful drums, the renown maple line remains my favorite 🤘🤘

[@jas_bataille]

Now THAT is hi-fi drum recording.... dear Lord!!!!

[@ShakingTwoTrees2012]

I'm tempted to hang my toms on the RIMS from the bottom lugs as does Gergo Borlai. At the very least, it would make batter head changes a breeze and might further improve the drums' resonance.

[@robertdirocco1885]

Done it for years its so much easier to even mic drums with the clip on mics

[@JanPatrickLucas]

Keith's drum will be a huge "hit"! Dunnett drums are my first choice, but that's definitely one to consider. Keith is incredible...Gretsch aren' t too bad either lol. I miss the Renown Pure Wood series. I bought a few of those over the years, amongst others form USA, New Classic, Brooklyn and Renown. All good!

[@rkaylor5769]

Bought my first Renown... I guess that makes me a Gretsch guy now.

[@gretschdrumsusa]

🥁

[@CaliforniaBushman]

All the best guys play Gretch now.

[@JazzFusion91]

oh.... there is so much I want in this vid

[@Circadianarrhythmia]

Hoping for some 8x14 versions of your thicker shelled snares! I’d love a 3mm 14x8 aluminum or steel!

[@fitzpat]

setting the bar

[@marciefree]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Love all yer stuff Gretsch. 😘😘😘

[@gretschdrumsusa]

Thank you

[@marciefree]

@@gretschdrumsusa just bought the Gretsch USA custom chrome over brass 5x14” snare from Sweetwater. To go with my Catalina Club drum set. 14x20, 7x10, 8x12, 13x14, 16x16. Very excited. ❤️🥰🥰. I call them my “Wonder Drums”.

[@kylepalmer1645]

42 years here, Birds-Eye Maple...

[@maukow1]

Aaaah i was sooo waiting for Borlai to hit those little chinas!

[@TTPDrums]

Me too!!

[@itsallinthewrists4251]

Perhaps respect Keith's possible health problems and focus on his spectacular drumming. He probably misses gigging dearly. I feel sorry for him, a drummer of this calibre and master. Ill be buying his snare. Also please can you consider doing more of a car colour on the renown kit. Id be down with a Tony Williams yellow instead of the Oyster.

[@zackmagruder5567]

Cool stuff

[@mwdrum]

Very intelligent educational video.

[@markCigars]

Great video

[@ruukasu71]

22/14' renown bass drum please!

[@artcorvolet]

That’s what it is

[@paistekid]

Keith seems to be enjoying life these days 😳

[@artcorvolet]

Fat Keith is back!

[@sticktrik]

Holy fuck!! Wtf happened to Carlock!!!! Unrecognizable!!!!!

[@bilhamcobbly2957]

Oh dear!!?

[@7tomi8]

Man I’m worried about is health honestly

[@DonaldSturgeAnthonyMcKenzieII]

Normal Covid lockdown weight gain. He'll drop it in a sec. Don't stress him

[@artcorvolet]

Holy poop emoji! The renowns sound unreal! Maybe I should sell my Usa Customs!

[@d3r3k87]

Holy shoot

[@davidsuprenant893]

Love that silver wht. Duco finish on the Brooklyn kit.Very classy.

[@ronaldzeoli7528]

Anything new for the Catalina series both the mahogany Bop sets and the Catalina Maples

[@IslandDigital]

I’d like to know if I could order a Phil Collins kit. Concert Tom kit. To his specifications for recording. If so, please let me know who to contact at Gretsch . Thank you !

[@Theratron]

I know they at least still do the black nitron wrap, so that's still available. And they recently made a new kit for his son (in white, and with the round badge instead of the square one). So I'd say it's definitely possible. Maybe contact a well known retailer such as Drum Center Portland or Sweetwater and ask them to get in touch with Gretsch for you?

[@IslandDigital]

@@Theratron Thank you very much for the info. I will try Sweetwater and speak w Mark Magdich. Phil’s sons kit does look great too !

[@0Somerandomguy01]

Thanks for showing all the expensive stuff and leaving out anything in the more budget lines! Super helpful for the drummer on the budget! I expected nothing less from DW than to plug the high end kits. Before any of you blah blah about the DW reference: they own Gretsch and it's starting to show.

[@gretschdrumsusa]

Gretsch and DW make drum sets for every budget, from custom to entry level. There are many, many options to choose from. www.gretschdrums.com

[@cosmokramer1213]

If any one is blah blah blahing it's you. This video is about these particular drums, why would they showcase the more budget lines in this video?

[@stevenrubio85]

I'm Gretsch all the way but I think they messed up on the color of the 57 renown. The original colors were better because they had retro car colors. No cars had that oyster color. If they did the retro colors I would have bought one for sure.

[@HadEnough745]

Gergo has headphones on but we don't get to hear the track.. It would've been better to hear the track along with his drumming.

[@zackmagruder5567]

My favorite snare drum position is flat

[@mundusvult9474]

RN 57 is taiwan made right?

[@peterdent2019]

Woah! What happened to Keith!! 😳

[@andreasbreitwieser1449]

.....the sama as Gergo Borlai some years ago.........

[@andym28]

Gary is probably in the top 2 best drummers in the world of you don't know :)

[@bilhamcobbly2957]

Quarantine pizza delivery is what happened

[@roybeckerman9253]

I wonder why the return, to the less than 5” deep snares..?

[@andreasbreitwieser1449]

because the time has come...... everybody sold his 1990's drums and ran out of piccolos ........ another possibility to sell some snares........if enough of the big stars of drumming are playing them the huge mass of drummers will follow and the high snare drum sound will be hip again......

[@justhadrums]

Or it was just what Gergo wanted...

[@roybeckerman9253]

@@justhadrums Could be, he’s a great drummer. Tama has a new shallow 4.5” SLP bronze and of course Carl Palmer has his famous shallow Ludwig Venus. Peter Erskine also is promoting a shallow Tama snare...so certainly making a comeback..

[@justhadrums]

@@roybeckerman9253 it's both then

[@roybeckerman9253]

@@justhadrums Yep..👍🏿

[@leandroneves9564]

as well? Gary didn't play?!

Keith sure gained alot of weight i see

[@cosmokramer1213]

And?

♥♥3♥♥‼‼

[@DanMarcelino]

Nice room.. quick tip.. if you find your hi hat stand starting to bounce or sway back and forth like that, loosen the leg adjustment nut, let the stand “relax” or level out and then tighten the nut. Problem solved

[@paulgiacalone4471]

👍👍

[@franknemeth7430]

They should play these drums un-miked.

[@TylerOath]

I honestly do not like the new renown 57. The original line was supposed to represent the 57 Chevy’s paint colors. I’ve never seen a oyster finish on a car before...

[@citydrums7525]

You have now. Oyster Bay Colorado Gold. Priceless!

[@ramencurry6672]

The Renown 57 is kind of ugly IMO but if it sounds great, it’s good

[@SuperZombie07]

Nothing new with the Catalina club? Disappointed 😞

[@DanMarcelino]

Grovers.. first to clear their throats loses!

[@doumbec]

wow is that all lockdown weight on Keith? wow!

[@blueavadis22]

Gretch drums sounds amazing but the hardware is terrible !
