Can you request the Gretsch Renown tom bracket for a Brooklyn kit (instead of the usual RIMS system that comes with the Brooklyn)?
Does anyone know if the Renown tom bracket allows the same amount of sustain/resonance as the RIMS system?
Lastly, so many folks here love the Renowns. Is a Brooklyn kit with the upgrade? (Renown 18/14/12 is ~$1399, an 18/14/12 Brooklyn ~$2300) Or should the choice be between a Renown or a USA Custom? That is, either the Renown will get the bop job done, or go all out and get the bop standard in the Customs?
