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.
