Drum Expo 2013: In 1883, Friedrich Gretsch launched the Gretsch company in a modest shop in Brooklyn, New York. Since then, Gretsch has evolved through a rich and distinctive history.
The bonding and timeless element for drummers has been, and continues to be, "That Great Gretsch Sound". In the studio, Gretsch Drums earned the reputation as the drum sound - demanded by professional studios and producers and heard on many classic records.
Gretsch Drums have been played and endorsed by drumming legends such as Max Roach, Tony Williams, Charlie Watts, Taylor Hawkins and Tre Cool among many others.
Today, Gretsch Drums offers a full range of products that serve the needs of every drummer at every level. Timeless… since 1883.
