Gretsch Drums Gretsch Limited-Edition 140th Anniversary 5-Piece Drum Set

In 1883, Friedrich Gretsch opened his small music shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., making drums, banjos and tambourines. No one expected his business on Middleton Street to become one of the most respected drum companies in the world. Now, 140 years later, Gretsch Drums are among the most iconic in the history of music.

Each one of these kits is painstakingly constructed to honor the rich Gretsch legacy and offer drummers a collectible piece of Gretsch history that admirers will remember for years to come.

The 140th limited-edition kit features a hybrid shell finished in Ebony Stardust gloss lacquer. Nickel-plated hardware completes this one-of-a-kind kit and adds to its visual beauty. Each kit includes a set of custom-designed drum bags and a certificate of authenticity signed by Fred Gretsch and the factory artisans who built them.

This setup features 10×7″ and 12×8″ mounted toms, 16×14″ floor tom, 22×16″ kick drum and a 14×6.5″ snare. To ensure each of these drum sets remains special, production will be limited to 70 kits.
