{"product_id":"gretsch-drums-tom-catalina-club-satin-walnut-glaze-12x8-429690","title":"Tom Tom Catalina Club Satin Walnut Glaze","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Catalina Club tom fits within the \"classic Gretsch\" aesthetic: a direct, musical, and effective approach, with a refined finish and a sound character clearly oriented towards vintage. Within the Gretsch range, the Catalina Club series targets drummers who want the grain and warmth of a characterful acoustic drum set, without unnecessary complexity, while benefiting from construction choices recognized for their musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Kit Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 12\" x 8\" tom suits both the \u003cstrong\u003eevolving beginner drummer\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate musician\u003c\/strong\u003e looking to complete a Catalina Club kit or harmonize a set. It excels in styles where an organic and round sound is sought: classic rock, blues, pop, funk, indie, as well as accessible jazz and \"roots\" contexts where warmth takes precedence over a too sharp attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGretsch equips this tom with the \u003cstrong\u003enew GTS\u003c\/strong\u003e, a suspension system designed to reduce stress on the shell and allow it to breathe. The result: freer resonance and a note that develops more naturally, useful both for mic recording and stage projection. The \u003cstrong\u003e30-degree bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a wider drumhead-to-shell contact, which helps achieve a softer attack, comfortable feel, and often more forgiving tuning. The \u003cstrong\u003e1.6 mm steel hoops\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure a good balance between tuning stability and sonic openness, while the \u003cstrong\u003echrome hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances durability and aesthetic coherence of the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e7-ply mahogany\u003c\/strong\u003e is appreciated for its musical output: present lows, rich mids, and an overall \"round\" sensation that integrates easily into the mix. Compared to denser and more incisive woods, the attack feels less aggressive, with a very pleasant note thickness for grooves and melodic fills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e30-degree bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e accentuates this soft and vintage character by promoting a gentler resonance and consistent response under the stick. Combined with \u003cstrong\u003eGretsch heads made by Remo\u003c\/strong\u003e, this tom offers balanced projection and a sound that is quickly usable: tuned low for a broad rock sound, or higher for tighter pop and funk colors, all while retaining the warm grain typical of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e12\u0026quot; x 8\u0026quot;\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emahogany\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e7-ply\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e30 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoops\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e1.6 mm steel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003echrome hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting system\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enew GTS\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGretsch made by Remo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSatin Walnut Glaze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gretsch Drums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358508830995,"sku":"429690","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/c25b7cd0f4274f2a9e6f353e377f1dd5f56d3603_GRETSCH_GR814242.jpg?v=1787340987","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/gretsch-drums-tom-tom-catalina-club-satin-walnut-glaze-429690","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
