Renown features the classic 7-ply Gretsch formula maple shells, with 30-degree bearing edges and exclusive “Silver Sealer” interiors with the addition of the Gretsch's player-friendly “302” hoop—the same hoop used on Gretsch's Brooklyn and Broadkaster series drums. Gretsch 302 hoops produce the desirable focused sound like that of a die cast hoop, but are lighter in weight and less rigid, allowing the drum to better “breath” and achieve maximum resonance. The Renown delivers the traditional Gretsch sound with an incredible open, harmonic tone that supplies the versatility needed to meet the demands of the hardest working drummers.
We don't keep individual Gretsch Renown shells at our store here in the UK but there is normally a good supply from the main warehouse in Germany. Drums showing in stock take approximately 10-14 days from the point of order. If a drum is showing as out of stock, it might be in already in production or enroute from the Gretsch factory. If you give us a call or drop us an email we'll get back to you with an ETA. If the drum has to be special ordered, the waiting time is usually between 4-6 months.
