 And it's a real sensitive sounding snare drum. I have it tuned up kind of high but like I said it's versatile, you can tune it down low, put a little dampening on it and you can get a totally different sound if you'd like. But it's got a nice volume bump from the edge of the drum to the center. It's sensitive in the hands and it's got a nice big cracky back beat when I want to play a simple kind of funky or kind of rock beat

 Just a little simple bolt clamps on and stays in place so you're good to go there. The sound of these drums is great. The mahogany wood with Gretches thirty degree bearing edges adds to that warm tone. Let me turn the snare wires off and play you the sound of these toms

 But first, let's get into the hardware. The hardware in this kit, really cool, very versatile and heavy duty, works really well. Got the big Gretsch gas cap on the kick drum here, holds the rack tom in place, nice and sturdy and it's a great visual feature as well. You got a ball joint and your single tom holder right here, you can also attach another cymbal arm here if you'd like to

 Do your old Gene Krupa exercises if you want to with this kit. The snare drum is really sensitive, comes with a nice ratchet style throw off while you're on the left hand side, really easy to use on and off very quickly with the snare drum wires. And it's a real sensitive sounding snare drum. I have it tuned up kind of high but like I said it's versatile, you can tune it down low, put a little dampening on it and you can get a totally different sound if you'd like

 Using coated ambassador heads, just basic single ply coated ambassadors, you get a nice attack and the warmth. It's very musical sounding and a great tone interval between each drum.

The snare drum is really sensitive, comes with a nice ratchet style throw off while you're on the left hand side, really easy to use on and off very quickly with the snare drum wires

Gretsch Drums Catalina Club 4-piece Drum Kit Review by Sweetwater

Nice warm tone, similar to a birch sound. Versatile, single tom post has a 7/8's accessory hole, so can mountain an extra cymbal arm. Lightweight kit, good for gigging, recording etc. Very happy with it

 Lightweight kit, good for gigging, recording etc. Very happy with it. Sounds as good as any kit to me and affordable.

Great Kit

I needed something smaller and lighter without sacrificing tone and quality. I tried all the drum sets in Guitar Center. I was hoping to get The DW set but I was not that impressed with the tone VS the cost.

Great sounding kit.

 Go ahead and leave me a comment below giving me your thoughts on the improvements that they've done to this kit, the finishes, the new bass drum mount. I definitely think they have upped the game for this kit while still trying to keep the price as low as possible so all of us can get it into our hands. Especially if you're looking for either a classic tone drum set or just a smaller drum set that's easy to pack up. So that's going to do it for today and as always remember if you want to stay up to date on the latest drum gear, pick up tips and tricks and look at products like we did today

 We're going to hop in the car, we're going to go right over to Hugh's house. He has a brand new Catalina Club in a very pretty finish. I'll show you pictures and video of all of the upgrades. These include things like new claw hooks for the bass drum hoops, a new tom mount which looks amazing, it looks like they have redone the tension rods, and even though I didn't get any film of it, it looks like they are doing a better job of finishing the inside of the shell as far as sanding it down and making it look really nice

 So I ended up with all three of us there with the drum set and that's what you're going to see for the sound examples. You will hear Hugh playing it himself and then you'll hear Cedric playing it, which will give you a nice variety in somebody that doesn't hit very hard and somebody that hits a little harder. And obviously because their styles are different, the drums will sound a little different as how far as they will react. Now keep in mind, Hugh is a Dixieland swing jazz type player

 Of course, there's a couple of drummers hanging out. Drummers want to come and hang. So I ended up with all three of us there with the drum set and that's what you're going to see for the sound examples. You will hear Hugh playing it himself and then you'll hear Cedric playing it, which will give you a nice variety in somebody that doesn't hit very hard and somebody that hits a little harder

 So he does tune these drums in the medium high, maybe to high range. So just keep in mind that you can go lower with the tunings. These drums in my experience and with this new version of the kit have a wide tuning range. So just keep that in mind as you see what we see on the next couple of shots

Gretsch Catalina Club (New Version) Improved and Upgraded : Bearded Drums (Season 2, Episode 2)

powerreviews

For over a quarter century, Pearl's Session Series has yielded some of the most harmonically vibrant recorded drum tones ever captured in the studio environment. Returning with a custom upgrade from our Masterworks spectrum, new Session Studio Select drums shift to a thin, 5.4mm EvenPly-Six combination of Masters-grade Birch and African Mahogany. The result is a blend of pre-EQ'd clarity and warmth with the added controlled punch of Pearl's fresh 60-degree bearing edge. In addition to a host of finish and hardware upgrades, Session Studio Select drums carry on Pearl's tradition of value for the pro player; with three specially-priced shell sets, each including a FREE added floor tom. Complementing your evolving playing style with a sophisticated tonal feel and look, Session Studio Select's premium features are outmatched only by its price.

Drummer's Review

 What's cool about that is the African mahogany brings that warmth from the inside of the drum, but also looks amazing on the outside of the drum with this really beautiful high gloss lacquer, and we'll get into the finish in just a minute. For now, on this particular setup, I have a seven by ten and an eight by twelve inch rack toms right here, fourteen by fourteen and sixteen by sixteen inch floor toms, a sixteen by twenty-two inch kick drum, and I have a matching snare that's five and a half by fourteen. This is a shell pack, so you know I've said it many times, shell packs don't come with snare drums, but they do make matching ones if you so choose. For now, I'm going to turn the snare wires off, and let's get into the sound of these tom toms

4 millimeters thick, six even plies. The four inner plies are the birch, and those are sandwiched on the inside and outside by the African mahogany.

 If you want a little bit more snap out of these drums, put on a single ply head. The pinstripes do really well with this kit, I like the way they sound. Let's put the snare wires on, do the same thing. What's cool is the real musical tone between each drums, nice tone interval from high to low, and I have them tuned sort of low and thuddy at the moment

 And most every company makes great kick drum spurs. Pearl has a great take on their spurs and they've had them around for a really long time because really if it's not broke, don't fix it, that kind of thing. These spurs are sturdy as heck. The kick drums never move

Pearl Session Studio Select 5-piece Shell Pack Review

 Now, this kit comes with a 60 degree bearing edge cut. It comes fitted with the Remo pinstripes, which I think was a great pick for this kit because it naturally just kind of cuts the sustain and gets right to the point with these punchy toms. Now, I know a lot of people say this about new kits that they sound great right out of the box, but this is a true fact with this kit. I set it up and just kind of did a finger tap tuning

 I have to say this kit looks different every light in every room, but the upkeep is a little bit more because it shows every speck of dust and every piece of hair that falls on it. This kit comes equipped with the Pearl's trademark Super Hoop 2s with a 2.3 millimeter triple flange hoop sitting on the Opti-Mount suspension system, which I like, makes it easy for any type of setup and configuration. One aesthetic I really like about what they added to this series is the new Session Studio Select badge using the classic music bronze and black color scheme, which fits this finish perfectly

 Now, I know a lot of people say this about new kits that they sound great right out of the box, but this is a true fact with this kit. I set it up and just kind of did a finger tap tuning. It kind of sped up like every octave kind of sped with each other right to the point. Now, talking about the finish on this kit, this is in the black chrome

Pearl Session Studio Select Review/Demo

 Aesthetics wise, the gloss black is classy and timeless, we really liked the slightly bronze look of the logo badges too, and finally the mahogany interiors of the shells add a beautiful detail that sets them apart from the crowd. The Sessions Studio Select drums come fitted with Chinese made Remo UT series heads, with something like a clear pinstripe over ambassador setup on the toms, you've got a coated ambassador on the snare, while the bass drum has a clear power stroke style batter head, and a ported coated front head. Also included is a bass drum muffling pillow that Velcro's into place to dampen the batter head. Once we got into tuning the drums, we were really pleased to find they settled into an even pitch all round, the only exception being the 14 inch tom that took us a little bit longer to get into tune, it did suffer from a kind of pronounced pitch dive sound that didn't seem to go away no matter how we tuned it, however we do feel like this is more to do with the head than any other reason

 Build quality wise, we were really impressed with the construction and the fit and finish of these shells. Across the board, there's no blemishes to be seen, and overall there's a very pro feel to this kit. We've always thought highly of Pearl's shell hardware, and this kit's no exception, with the OptiMount rack mount systems, the Super 2 hoops, and everything else feeling really solid and dependable. The snare throw-off mechanism is perhaps the only bit that felt a little bit flimsy, but it's still totally usable in its operation

 Finally, we really enjoyed the snare, it was crisp, loud and articulate, and we particularly enjoyed how it sounded in mid-tuning where there was a beautiful balance of overtones. Despite its loud modern voice, we actually found that this was a very versatile sounding snare with a great snare off sound as well as a really nice cross stick. Across the board, the tonality of this kit was bright and punchy, which I guess makes sense given the birch plies, but I have to say we were a little bit surprised that we didn't encounter more mid-range warmth and resonance as a result of the mahogany, as well as the very thin shell construction. As it is though, we felt that this kit had a lot of focus on stick definition that we can imagine sounding immense in the hands of a heavy hitting speed demon

5 inch snare drum. Now the shell pack on its own sets you back about £1,200, although we don't yet have the RRP, and if you wanted the matching snare with that, that would be about another £200 on top. With Pearl emphasizing both the punch and warmth of these drums in their literature, we were really keen to dig in and see what they sounded like, but before we go any further, let's check out a few more sound clips and then come back for some discussion. Our initial impression of these drums is that they're certainly thin shells, feeling quite lightweight yet still solid when you handle them
