Gretsch Brooklyn Review: Drum Set Tested | DRUM! Magazine

drummagazine.com

The Gretsch USA Brooklyn Kit delivers a nostalgic yet modern drumming experience with its punchy and warm maple/poplar shells, beautifully finished exteriors, and quality hardware. Musicians will appreciate its impressive sound and vintage aesthetics. However, the outdated Lightning throw-off and the absence of a tom arm and clamp for mounting are disappointing oversights. Despite these flaws, the kit offers a compelling alternative to the pricier USA Custom line, making it a solid choice for professionals seeking a rich, full-bodied sound without breaking the bank.

Gretsch Brooklyn Kit review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Gretsch's USA Brooklyn Kit successfully merges vintage charm with modern enhancements, delivering a professional-grade drum kit at a more accessible price point. The kit impresses with its classic round badge styling and innovative features like the new 302 series metal hoops, which offer a more open and warm sound. The attention to detail in construction, including the unique 30-degree bearing edges and Silver Sealer finish, reinforces Gretsch's legacy in drum craftsmanship. However, its premium price might be a hurdle for some. Overall, the Brooklyn Kit is a solid choice for drummers seeking a blend of tradition and innovation.
