The Gretsch Catalina series kits are definately one of the best mid to high range kits ever produced. The choice of wood includes maple, ash and birch for the club kits. The ability of these kits to compliment any musical situation is heightened by the variation in sizes and finishes. The club kits especially stand out in this area, with the mod featuring a 20" deep bass drum and the rock being most likely the cheapest kit available with a 26" bass drum. It's hard to fault these kits; the hardware is sturdy and reliable, the drums sing in a number of different voices and the finishes could easily convince a casual observer that they were top of the range kits. Of course, the sound of these kits is worth the price of admission alone, but considering all of the other glaringly positive stand out qualities, its no wonder its becoming quite a regularity that these kits are sold out almost instantly.
