Gretsch resurrects a classic in the Renown RN2 drum series. Back are the celebrated 7-ply maple shells with 30° bearing edges and Gretsch's hallmark Silver Sealer interiors, which look and sound every bit as glorious as they have for the last 15 years. What's new in the RN2 is its USA classic features - 302 hoops and a bass-mounted tom holder - along with some modern touches, including redesigned black round badges.

Absolute workhorse drums, Gretsch really knocked it out of the park on this one! Like, comment, and subscribe for more sweet kits like this one ✌️
Having trouble figuring out the difference between the Renown maple and the Catalina maple besides the silver sealer. Is it in the hardware and upgraded heads out of the box?
@@goaltndrrenown much better
Gretsch is quality. It’s a top tier pro level soundings drum and it’s relatively affordable. If you’re on a budget and can’t spend $3500 on a pro level kit, Gretsch can be your friend.
This is one of the best drum sets of all time. It’s relatively affordable, it works well live and it also works well in the studio as recording engineers prefer Gretsch for better blend in the music
@@goaltndr major hardware difference. Renown hardware/hoops is far better, making a huge sound difference. I’ve owned a Catalina kit and it was garbage. Worst drum set I’ve ever owned other than a Yamaha Stage Custom.
Legend. Never fire this guy, he makes reviews fun to watch. Such a great player too
Seriously? What do you like about him? He plays and acts like a 13 year old boy. I cannot watch him. I buy my gear from Sweetwater, but cannot watch him. Ugh!
@@g.j.haycock1064 Wow you couldn't be more wrong about him. Dude has played with some seriously awesome bands, and Sweetwater is very lucky to have talent like him so available for stuff like this. Monster player, and he presents products well- friendly, informative, and doesn't drag on and on before getting to playing the kits and making them sound great.
@@g.j.haycock1064 I enjoy his play style, and the way he describes the products he uses is very informative.
These are my favorite drums of all time. Sound great but also has that rawness in them. I played so many gigs and done some many studio recordings using 24/16/13 Renown kit in matte white finish.
Funny thing is that I never wanted to buy them but when I sat behind the kit in music store rest of drums become irrevelant to me. The differecne in sound was so big comparing to other kits. It felt so natural plaing the drums. I never had that feeling before and after in my drumming life.
I bought a set of these several years ago, they are fantastic drums with great tone and first rate build quality.
Just got one of these kits in the vintage pearl wrap in the rock sizes from sweetwater a couple of months ago and am loving it.
@sirsethward It’s been about a year, how do you feel know about the Gretsch R2 kit? I’m considering the same kit, same config, same wrap, but can’t decide between this kit, the Pearl Session Studio (same config), or the Tama Starclassic walnut-birch. The Tamas sound too focused, whereas the Gretsch R2’s sound big and dynamic. It’s coming down to Tama’s fit, finish, hardware vs the sound of the R2’s. Any opinion and advice you have would help a great deal.
Everything sounds top class with Nick.
From Catalinas to USA Customs.
Awesome! I love the new look and features. I love my 2008 Renown Silver Slate Sparkle kit but would love another, I have a Gretch drum kit addiction!!! Even with my DW and '73 Rogers kit, I'm so happy with my Gretch & Gilbralter kit... great equipment.
Finally!! I've been waiting for you to demo this kit like forever man. And I seems like you kinda went back to older format, ya know....just playing the drum without music. For me anything is alright, I just love every demo that you did.
Dry your tears
I met him at Sweetwater earlier this summer. It was awesome!!!! He even gave me a signed vinyl record copy of Invisible, an awesome album!!!!! Clearly one of the best I ever heard.....and seen!! Both of the records are made of clear vinyl!!!!
One of my favorite drum sets from Gretsch.
I’m pretty sure back in the 60s there was a Renown series from Gretsch but probably not the same as today
I’m sorry I don’t come here to see the gear as much as I come to see Nick, he is the man
What a beautiful and fantastic sounding kit.
I'm coming after these when my old Catalina Club Mod is ready to retire, so nice. That HHX thin ride has got me drooling too...
I've been away from drumkit for a little while, but this video absolutely reminded me why I play a 24" bass drum and big toms haha 👌
Excellent review...Love me some Sweetwater and Gretsch!
Have played a Brooklyn series kit for years. Bought a Renown Natural finish kit with two mounted toms. Find myself sitting behind and playing the Renown kit much more than my Brooklyn. Great drums at a great price.
Hi,what do you prefer more about the renown ?
The highlight of this video are those hi-hats. They sound amazing.
i think the hats are hhx, looks like a raw bell. i have a set of 13's and they sound similar
I'm not sure because I didn't check the link, but I think they might be the HHX Complex hats
they are the new aax. great cymbals
I'm real late to the party, but they've got the AAX logo on them in the video. They look like the new AAX Thin line, so either 14" or 15" AAX Thin Hats.
What a great kit.
Amazing sound
Amazing Sound!🤘🥁🤘
Great finish... like that.
I don't need the 24'' bass drum lol, too much for me but for sure enough fo Bonzo lol. I'd want to go with a different config. 22x18 bass, 16x16 floor tom, 14x14 floor tom, and maybe the 13x9 rack tom? Yea, that'd work :)
Love This Kit!!! Sounds Great, Looks Great, and Very Affordable 👏👏👏Thanks Gretsch ❤️
Awesomeness!!!!
Finally some great close up camera shots of the drums unlike the NAMM vids 😉
In my opinion Gretsch makes some of the best drums
You are a great drummer! - You could make a coconut sound fantastic!
That’s bass drum is awesome
Have a brand new 2002 set ,Champagne Silk . All pieces EXCEPT the 14x14 floor , which I’ve tried to find for YEARS ! A seldom seen color!? Two bass kick and heavy Gibraltar stands . Lessons someday! AND the room ! Nice to hear them played!!
Renown & marquee are greats...🖐🇨🇱
As a sound engineer, that 22" kick ported with a small pillow on the batter side is absolutely nuts. By far the best kick I've ever heard.
That's because it's a 24 :)
It's a 24" lol
Rock solid kit
YES!! I've been waiting to see a Sweetwater review on this kit. It is probably one of the nicest kits on the market and for such a great price. I'm looking to someday buy the 10 12 16 22 version with an add-on 14 and possibly 8 as well, I'm sure you guys at Sweetwater could help me out and get these additional drums as a special order. Not sure which finish yet because they're all so nice!! I'm leaning towards the gloss natural to go with my Gretsch Full Range Maple 6.5x14 snare with die cast hoops, I saw a Sweetwater exclusive red sparkle Renown snare drum show up on your site, hope to see that as a full kit!!
love mine and my jazz kit they sound just like this too killer video
at video
Nice kit
These Renown kits are super nice, especially for the $$. I'm a cheap mo-fo, so I'm lovin these Gretsch Renown, the Tama Starclassic BB's (or WB's) and Mapex Saturn. They're all genuine high end units for relatively affordable prices. I have two of the three, but I'm yet to own a Renown. I will one day tho, they're on my radar and my 3rd fave. I'm thinking jet black bc I've never owned a black kit. I'll stop babbling now
I like you style, matte jet black and chrome hardware is the best drum finish ever imo.
This is a serious and beautiful kit. But I guess I'm more of a cheapskate than you. 1,200 plus dollars for this kit is a little rich I think.
For those on a low budget, you can probably find a used kit from an off model brand for around $250. Just keep checking used music stores if you live in a major city.
That's a very metal sounding kick drum
With coated heads, front and batter I guess it would be nice classic rock sounding kick
That bass drum!!!!
Still love more the original RN1 with virgin bass drum and die cast hoops but this version also sounds fantastic.
I have a RN1 and 1000% agree. I prefer the die cast hoops vs. the 302 hoops.
I'd love to buy Gretsch drums one day.
Larks Tongues In Aspic: This would be the one to get. Price is right and you get A LOT of great stuff for said money.
They’re really awesome. Even the cheaper Catalina model blows me away.
I’m a great fan of the Gretsch Brooklyns and Broadkasters.
They have more warmth, if that’s your thing.
Would like to hear a demo using single ply heads for once.
They have an Ambassador on the snare, so technically it's got at least one! Haha
Can’t go wrong with Gretsch
Lovely drums and finish. Got a kit with 22" kick a few months ago. Not the biggest fan of emperors personally, but they sound good enough out of the box. They came with a tuning key that's shaped the same as the wingnuts on the hardware, really nice touch. :)
I switched out the Remo's on my Renown for Evan's G2's and it made a world of a difference!
@@MatthewVlossak nice! I put clear G1:s on the bottom, I'm not sure if anything changed dramatically tonewise, but they were easier to tune. I really want to try the Modern Vintage and Deep Vintage heads by Aquarian.
These are the best set for the price, and you get more value than any set with the Renown. Frankly these drums best the USA Gretsch models in many ways.
Nick makes paper cups sound sweet... but I gotta' say, I am really tempted to grab this set...
Me too..!!!🤗❤️
Sound unreal
I got this kit in the tobacco burst finish, 50% off as a floor model from Guitar Center. Second best deal I've gotten on a drum set. 🤣The kit itself is GREAT, but I have a couple knit-picks regarding the mounting system.
It's not very good. For starters, the 13" rack tom is pretty heavy, and the ball joint can't support the weight of the drum in most positions. Crank it as tight as possible, and there is still a good chance it will sink; potentially hitting the bass drum and messing up the beautiful satin finish. If the drum is a little too flat, or a little too angled, expect this to happen (it is possible I got a faulty system, I suppose, but I don't think so. It certainly doesn't feel like it).
The new GTS suspension system feels like style over substance, to me. It actually chokes the drum quite a bit, if it isn't tuned to just the right range. Pulls on the 2 tension rods and causes some issues. The biggest problem I have with it is that it makes the drum VERY challenging to tune. It was so bad that I thought that it was out of round. I'd get the drum tuned up to have great resonance and sustain, mount it, and the sound I'd get was a wimpy, "thud."
When you do get everything finally set up just right and get around these issues, this is THE best sounding kit for the money, bar-none. Can't recommend them enough. They're beautiful, sound huge; and are very well made pro-quality drums (although quality control may be a factor, the innermost ply of my bass drum is frankly jacked, but they put the silver sealer on and shipped it anyway. It still sounds good and doesn't really affect the drum in any way. I got mine for such a steal that I can't be too upset about it. But anyway. I digress).
I plan on swapping out the mount (you have to buy 2 new lugs to do so, by the way) and hopefully finding a cover plate for the bass drums mounting system, to give it a more classic "virgin" look.
TL;DR: These are great drums. Just anticipate some difficulties early on.
Sounds like how Gretsch drums always have been - Sound awesome, put together terribly with bad hardware.
Watching this video, Nic doesn't even seem to have these issues. I'm probably gonna take the ball joint apart and rough it up a bit, to see if maybe it just needs more grip. Still probably gonna change how I mount it in some fashion, regardless; just to see if it makes that big of a difference. I have an old RIMS mount that should work fine.
For what it's worth though, the rest of the kit is built like a tank, and the 302 hoops are probably my new favorites, for toms anyway.
But yeah, I've heard mixed things about their hardware. I know I had a friend who popped the lug right off one of their maple snares when he was cranking it up. 😂
@@daynnethedrummer684 I never had a Gretsch kit (never been a great fan), so maybe I can't talk too much, but if a kit has such those construction issues that you said, it's nothing but a piece shit. And if a brand has the same problem recurrently, the same thing then. No matter if it sounds good or not, there's a ton of good sounding kits out there that are well built and can last you a lifetime. Just my opinion.
daynnethedrummer . For these reasons, I never buy a kit with a Tom mount on the bass drum. I’ll either mount it on a cymbal stand, or a snare stand.
@@timekeeper8363 I currently have it mounted off of a cymbal stand. Used the post from the bass drum, stuck that in the bass of a DW cymbal stand, then took the top half of the stand and slipped it through the... cymbal arm holder... hole. Fixed the placement issue, generally speaking. 🤣
This is a good kit. I loved mine in the same sizes with the WMP finish. I ended up selling them because they are really heavy. To put it in context I do 140-150 gigs a year, and I carry all of my own gear.
What did you buy in instead...?
Roy Beckerman Ludwig Classic Maple 22x14 12x8 16x16
Robert DiRocco
Beautiful drums...I prefer them to the Renowns, anyway.
Well done !
Roy Beckerman They are also in the Herritage Blue lacquer finish with WMP inlay in the bass drum hoops
Do you think the 20 14 12 would be easier on the back?
Those sounds unbelievable - I love Gretsch drums - are those the stock heads? Also which cymbals are you pairing with that kit? Whole thing sounds amazing - love it
That rack tom sounds boxy as heck. Are you using Emperor heads? (Kick drum is a keeper, though!)
Good lord that kit sounds great. And thats a killer finish.
Looks and sounds great, love Nick's videos
😊👍
Think I just found my new kit.
Make a vid on the gretsch energy 5 piece plz
If you were to describe this drum tuning would it be low medium or high
If you've never had the pleasure of hitting a Gretsch floor tom, you owe it to yourself.
Haha! So true! My Catalina Bop kit floor tom tuned low sounds like a cannon...Love it!
Don't forget the bass drum too oh and the 10 inch rack!
Even their cheap model floor tom is excellent. I have the Catalina floor Tom and am blown away. It has that vintage sound
What 🎤 did you use for this vid. Cheers
Thank God the rack tom is on the bass drum...the way they were for 100 years.
Nothing worse than being attached to the cymbal stands..
The snare has a lot of overtones.
How is that bad? Some drummers prefer to have virgin bass drums.
@@kiwiangeldust6912
Snare stands are becoming very popular too, for the rack toms.
For me taking the drums on the road means touring with them so I wonder if when Nick says "You can take them on the live stage" and then adds "you can take them on the road" he actually wanted to put them on the side of the highway and play. Great reviewer always anyway!
When he said you can take them off the road he meant you can play them on a street corner and people will be dancing in the streets.
Please link to the cymbals???
Hi Nick, Nice 🙂 Renown kit. Now Be so kind as to dry up the snare. Open as it is sounds like a tin can. Now please play the Bass drum open and No pillow or Hole in the Resonant head. Ditch the power stroke 3 head and replace it with twin ply pinstripe head, a much better head then the power stoke 3 head. Thanks Nick, keep up the great drumming. Charlie M.
Are the shells made from North American hard maple?
I don't know if I can get this kick drum in my car. 😞
Where are Gretsch drums made? They started in Brooklyn many yrs ago and now?
Had Enough Now they are producing their drums in ridgeland, north carolina. the renown series is from taiwan.
The intro beat sounds like turn your life around! Kind of
Does anyone that own this kit know if the tom mount comes with the shell pack? I understand the cymbal arm does not, but I want to make sure I dont have to buy one separately.
Comes with it!
Do they do 2floor, 2high tom, kick shell pack?
Hello, mike d! At the moment, Gretsch is not offering the Renown preconfigured as a 2 up, 2 down setup, but you can certainly order an additional drum a la carte to build such a setup.
Thanks for the interest!

What mics are those on Toms.
Hi, Gary. Thanks for reaching out with your question! Nick is using the SE Electronics drum mics. Here is a link:

Let me know if you have any other questions. Stay safe!
Riley Koenemann, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1226, Riley_Koenemann@sweetwater.com
In my ears it has a nice fat sound compaired to the cheaper maple kits. This kit is the cheaper of the top maple drum kits.
What are the Tom mics? Can someone please answer?
Looks to be SE Electronics, don't know what the models are.
Are you gonna demo the Ludwig classic oak
Dale Bass he kind of did that already a few years ago when they were named Keystone X. The only differences are they’re making them without wraps now and I think they put a back cut on the bearing edge? Oh and I believe they jacked up the price a few hundred dollars?
drumfanatik316 yeah I knew he did the keystone x but like the classic oak can be ordered in a club date configuration with the double sided lugs and and grey inner ply so I’d like to that
I always thought Gretsch Tom's only went with five lugs? If I'm not mistaken I see 6 on the rack Tom. Is that because of the change of ownership?
This is 13" tom and have 6 lugs. 10" and 12" toms have a 5 lugs
My Renown has 5 lugs on 10" and 12" and 8 lugs on the 14" (tom) and 16". I find it odd they went straight from 5 to 8 haha.
how would u compare the renown kit to the tama starclassic walnut/birch kit
Tama starclassic hands down imo. My friend owns a renown, good but definitly think starclassics are better in every way.
@@andyham6094 thanks for input andy
Star classic all the way
I've played both and I much prefer the Renown.
I love the hihat.. Wich model sabian hihat?
Looks like the new AAX Thin Hats. Either 14" or 15" I'd say.
@@ScottDincorn thank you so much.. I searched this hihat but I can not afford atm 😣 It's way too expensive in our currency in Turkey
@@emredurgun4754 I just got the 14" pair myself a few months ago, they sound real nice! Living in Canada helps the price a little bit, but I imagine you can get some of the Turkish line of cymbals for much cheaper than I could!
@@ScottDincorn Yes man you're right. 🤟
Maybe lighten up the set. The darkness is a good vibe but we can't see (even though Nick mentioned) the Remo logo on the batters, and , the shell finish is somewhat obscured.
Are these made in China or the USA?
What kind of drum heads are those?
Remo Clear Emperor
@@bakedalaska4363 Appears to be a blue hue
@@danrivera7 I think it's the effect of the silver sealer on the interior and the room lighting.
G'day Sweetwater, I've been watching your reviews for a year now and for all the great kits that have been reviewed, the bassdrum sound is a let down every time.
Other reviewers get a nice miked up bassdrum sound, but Sweetwater has had the same sound in every review.
I've heard other reviewers showcase the difference between a 22"x18" bass to a 24"x14" bass for example. Massive difference. Sweetwater, you have had the same sound out of the bassdrums no matter the dimensions.
I do not know if you are not allowed to give the watchers the the miked up sound or if your drum techs don't know what they're doing, but as I said, every bassdrum I've heard through Sweetwater sounds the same.
I'll give you more opportunity in the future but for now, you've lost me as a subscriber.
Don't give up though.
Thanks for the reviews I've watched.
Respect. S
Le big sound je l ai bien entendu sur les toms , il est top mais sur la grosse caisse il est inexistant, désolé mais ma grosse caisse Sonor force 2000 de 22×16 est plus puissante
Every Sweetwater drum video sounds EXACTLY the same regardless of manufacturer. I'm not sure how anyone can get any usable decision making information except for finish and sizes. Would help a lot to switch up drummers also.
Choosy drummers choose Gretsch.
So full of
I didn’t think the toms sounded good. I heard only the heads and not the tone of the shell.
Man VERY BAD SNARE.....!!!
-_-
I hate the way he tunes the drums
