The Broadkaster series drums feature the classic look and sound of Gretsch - they’re open, warm, and wide-sounding. Gretsch was a pioneer in drum making, credited with making the first drums produced with multi-ply shells. German immigrant Friedrich Gretsch first made and sold drums, banjos, and tambourines. Gretsch, while most notable for guitars, also manufactures drums, and has since the early days of his first music store in Brooklyn, New York (1883). In conversations with drummers over the years, one company always seems to come up - Gretsch Drums. Whether you believe his process or not (and I do), John Good works meticulously to create excellent drum shells. A 2014 interview recently piqued my interest with DW’s John Good - it’s worth a read. I think Drum Workshop Collector’s kits are authentic works of art. Whether you can justify the price is your call. Some drummers scoff at Drum Workshop drum sets, saying they’re overrated and overpriced. ![]()
