Gretsch Catalina Maple CM1-E825, Walnut Glaze #WG

New Hardware

Holding the head down on to the shells of the new Catalina Maple Drums is taken care of by the Catalina Mini Lugs, due to its low-weight and so few points of contact it allows for a natural development and unfolding of the sound. The holder for the floor-tom legs was reduced in size for the same reason.

In order to retain this vibration characteristic, a new tom mount was required. This took the form of the 2-point suspension mount which, as the name suggests, only comes into contact with shell at two points. The idea to give the tom holder the additional possibility of attaching to a cymbal arm may not be something new but it is most certainly a useful expansion for the Catalina Maple Drums.

New Badge and Fresh Finishes

The appearance of the Catalina Maple Drums has naturally also been freshened up. It is equipped with a new Round Badge logo which is also found again on the tom holder rosette of the bass drum, and comes in a selection of foil and satin finishes, blowing a breath of fresh air into the Catalina Maple Series.
