Information

This Gretsch Broadkaster 24" Drum Kit, Purple Marine Pearl is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Gretsch Broadkaster Series

Originally produced from the 1920s through the 1950s, the Broadkaster was Gretsch’s flagship drum set, known for its thin three-ply shells and “That Great Gretsch Sound.” Today, the Broadkaster has been reintroduced at the Gretsch factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, retaining its classic sonic character with modern refinements.

Shells

• 3-ply North American maple/poplar/maple construction

• Interior-ply scarf joint for added strength

• Classic Gretsch Silver Sealer interior finish

• Hand-finished roundover bearing edges for increased head-to-shell contact

• Produces a deep, rich, and warm tone

Hoops

• “302” 3mm double-flanged steel hoops

• Based on 1950s “Stick Chopper” hoops, but with heavier-gauge steel

• Provide a more open tone and add ambient overtones compared to die-cast hoops

Hardware Packages

• Standard: Heavy-duty Gretsch lugs, spurs, and GTS tom suspension (as used on USA Custom and Brooklyn series)

• Vintage: 1950s-style components including mufflers, floor tom leg brackets, redesigned Rail Consolette, retractable spurs, bass drum T-rods, throw-off, key holder, and Remo® Fiberskyn logo bass drum heads

Sound
The Broadkaster delivers warm, dense, and balanced tones reminiscent of the original 1950s kits, with improved dynamic range and presence thanks to modern manufacturing techniques.
