The basis for the clear sound of these drums are the bodies composed of six layers of maple/ poplar, edges with a 30° slope and Silver Sealer inlays. New are the 302 hoops, which are currently being used on Gretsch's top models.
The 302 hoops have similar characteristics to the cast hoops, but are much lighter and allow the drum to "breathe" better and resonate as much as possible. The hardware is chrome plated and gives the drums a light touch of vintage look.
The drums offer a very open tone full of harmonies that can be precisely shaped through technical playing. The bass drum is undrilled, so the resulting sound is very thick and full of bass.
