From the 1920s through the 1950s, the Gretsch flagship drum set was the legendary Broadkaster Series. It featured a thin, three-ply shell and produced what was to be, “That Great Gretsch Sound.” Today, in the Gretsch Drum Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, with the help of advanced drum-making techniques, the Broadkaster has returned, bringing with it all of sonic brilliance of its namesake.
Broadkaster shells are made with a North American maple/poplar/maple formula. Each shell includes an interior-ply scarf joint that supplies added structural integrity to thin, musical shells. Like all USA-made Gretsch drums, shell interiors are finished with classic Gretsch Silver Sealer. The shell is hand finished with the exclusive reverse roundover bearing edge, which allows greater surface contact between the bearing edge and drumhead. The result is tone that is incredibly deep and warm.
This kit is truly a 1 of a kind. We are big fans of the legendary Gretsch Artist Steve Ferrone and wanted a kit to match his custom Broadkaster combining Cadillac Green with Silver Duco to form a beautiful and unique finish. Our friends at Gretsch Drums were nice enough to make this 1 off kit for Mooloolaba Music and it is the only one in existence. Get in quickly to own this beatuiful and rare Broadkaster.
