Gretsch Renown LTD Mahogany 4pc Drum Set

What happens when Gretsch celebrates 140 years of drummaking heritage? The Renown Limited 4-piece drum shell pack tips its hat to the original 1948 Renown design, blending vintage tone with craftsmanship refined through generations of Gretsch tradition. Each 7-ply mahogany shell delivers a darker, rounder sound with smooth attack and rich mids—balanced by stunning looks thanks to the high-gloss lacquer and Vintage Marine Pearl inlay. Traditional sizing—22x14" bass drum, 12x8" rack tom, 16x14" floor tom and 14x7" snare—creates a warm, punchy voice that tunes wide for any genre. Direct-to-shell mounts, die-cast hoops and 30° bearing edges complete a design that feels timeless, powerful and unmistakably Gretsch. From the first hit, you’ll hear why the Gretsch sound has defined drumming excellence for generations.

7-ply Mahogany Shells With Vintage Marine Pearl Detail

There’s something special about the way mahogany sings under your sticks. Gretsch’s 7-ply mahogany shells draw on the company’s early heritage, delivering deep warmth, balanced projection and a smooth, musical midrange that defined its vintage kits. The gloss lacquer finish with Vintage Marine Pearl inlay adds a visual nod to the classic Gretsch look—rich, refined and instantly recognizable. With 30° bearing edges shaping the tone, every strike feels full and controlled with just the right amount of sustain, capturing that unmistakable Gretsch balance between warmth and clarity.

Direct-to-Shell Mount and Die-Cast Hardware Deliver Classic Feel

When hardware design meets tone preservation, every note breathes easier. The direct-to-shell mount system allows each drum to resonate openly, enhancing tone and dynamic response without excess hardware weight. Die-cast hoops tighten the focus, improve tuning stability and add crisp rimshot definition. Combined with traditional tom and bass drum sizing, this setup captures that vintage Gretsch character—warm, expressive and perfectly balanced for modern players who expect professional reliability from a heritage design.

A Legacy Kit Built to Celebrate Gretsch’s 140th Anniversary

Some kits are built for specific moments in time, but this one was built to mark an entire history. Designed in celebration of Gretsch’s 140th anniversary and produced only throughout 2023, the Renown Limited 4-piece shell pack stands as both a collector’s treasure and a dependable daily player. For drummers who value heritage, tone and craftsmanship in equal measure, it’s a legacy you can sit behind—and a sound that’s pure Gretsch, still crafted with the same pride and precision that has defined the brand for more than a century.
