As a tribute to the booming American automobile industry of the 1950s, Gretsch Renown 57 drum kits are decked out in a selection of gorgeous classic car colors that defined the era. On top of that, they feature an eye-catching, vintage chevron logo that will transport you back to the days of sock hops, soda fountains, and the birth of rock ’n’ roll. Like all Gretsch Renown series drums, the Renown 57 kit boasts 7-ply maple shells with 30° bearing edges for a warm, balanced tone that is appropriate for a variety of styles and genres. And drummers at Sweetwater enjoy the Renown 57’s Gretsch 302 hoops, which have the characteristic power and resonance of die-cast hoops with the openness of triple-flanged hoops.
