Gretsch Released their "New for 2021" drums on the website - I already made a post about the Gergo and the Carlock snares ....but this was a surprise.
They dropped a new Renown 57. I had a 6 piece version of the original one that dropped in 2011.....amazing sounding and playing kit (though I got realllllll tired of that color, real fast). The new one is wild looking....I can't say that I love it honestly haha - and it has the 302 hoops, etc.
(I would consider buying one of the seafoam green ones though if one ever popped up)
In January, 2011, Gretsch went against the grain and conventional design by introducing Renown 57. The unique look thanks to its classic car colors and the Chevron logo immediately became a hit throughout the world and almost 10 years later we still receive order requests for them.
In response to the many requests, for only one year we are introducing a new breed in the coveted series: Renown 57 - Silver Oyster Pearl. The basis of the kit’s formula mimic’s today’s RN2 by adapting the 7-ply maple shell, 30 degree bearing edges, 302 hoops, silver sealer interiors, and Low Profile GTS system.
Today’s RN57 have bass drums with no mounts and traditional 14” depths, just what Gretsch enthusiasts often ask for. Both configurations are offered in our Silver Oyster Pearl Nitron.
