Gretsch drums were born in Brooklyn, New York in 1883. They were proudly

crafted in the vibrant city for the better part of the 20th Century. Brooklyn and

Gretsch share an inseparable history that is part of American music history

and folklore. It is a shared legacy that cannot be duplicated. Today, Brooklyn

represents a renaissance community that vibrates with contemporary artistic

expression, youthful innovation and passionate musical commitment. Gretsch

Brooklyn series celebrates the rejuvenated Brooklyn city passion and spirit

and expands on its distinctive shared American experience.

Proudly hand crafted in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, by a team of veteran

drum builders, Gretsch Brooklyn has a sound that is at once recognizable and

essential, yet distinctively reinvented. The Gretsch drum design team molded

the Brooklyn series by combining classic Gretsch elements while infusing it

with new attributes. They expanded upon traditional drum designs to shape a

sound that retains fundamental Gretsch characteristics while projecting a fresh

voice.
