    The River Cypress run blends Gretsch's handbuilt USA Custom shell recipe - the dark, chewy, timeless response of maple on gumwood - with the exotic tone and visuals imputed by this rare historic cypress. The result is a look and play that begs to be experienced in person.
    The multi-tone striated shells are free from stain of any kind; the patterning and gradients you see in each veneer are the result of natural sediments in the water where the wood lay. Classic 30° bearing edges give shells that timeless Gretsch response. And a Silver Sealer interior finish, along with a hand-applied nitrocellulose exterior lacquer, will make this kit stand alone among even the most elite Gretsch collections.

      I have owned several Renown, USA, Brooklyn and Broadkaster drums. The Die Cast were stock when I had my Renowns. Sounded fantastic! I also found a 2000 era V1.0 Renown kit (shipped with Gibraltar Power Hoops when Gretsch first partnered with KAMAN), and I swapped out for Die Cast and really beefed up and dialed in the sound again (slightly thinner shells closer to USA). I also swapped the 302s for DC on the Brooklyns and Broadkasters I had - solid, solid fundamental, and easy tuning. You might dig them! I was using Coated Emperors (rack) and Vintage Emperors (Floor) and always sounded great! 🤘🏻

    I find it interesting that Gretsch doesn't mind putting Hardware mounts into their bass drums..... It even looks like the TomTom Mount is not isolated from the shell...... not sure if that even matters but it seems like for years everyone wants virgin drums with no mounts.... Or isolated mounting brackets....... I own two Gretsch USA custom kits.... one that I bought new in the late 1970s and another one that I bought used in 2010 and they are both fine kits... They can sit in a garage for years then you take them out and scrape off the dust and smack them with the stick and they still sound good...... That great Gretsch sound is not a myth....

    I'd love to see Gretsch find a way to replicate the look of the River Cypress kit into their USA Custom line with some kind of natural to black fade/burst/duco. The USA Custom is one of the nicest sounding kits on the market, one of the ultimate high-end kits in my book. Love the look and sound of this, and 22x16 bass drums are always nice to see!!
