Gretsch Drums is celebrating its 140th anniversary with the Limited Edition 140th Anniversary Drum Kit. Each one of the kits is constructed to honor the company’s legacy and offers drummers a collectible piece of Gretsch history. The one-of-a-kind kit is handcrafted in the company’s Ridgeland, South Carolina, factory using six-ply hybrid maple, gum and poplar shells and finished in an Ebony Stardust gloss lacquer. The anniversary drum kits also feature 30-degree bearing edges and Gretsch Permatone commemorative 140th anniversary logo drumheads. Each kit is shipped with a set of custom-designed drum bags and a certificate of authenticity signed by Fred Gretsch and the artisans who built them.
Breedlove’s newly updated Performer Pro Rosewood models feature all-solid Indian rosewood backs and sides. The Performer Pro instruments also feature a thin, all-gloss, aged toner finish; brass inlays; FSC-certified Ovangkol fretboard and bridge; and a mahogany neck. These professional-grade instruments reset the bar for quality and accessibility.
