Key Features
The Gretsch Catalina Club 18'' Shell Pack With Snare, Satin Walnut Glaze is a compact four-piece kit suited to small stages, rehearsals, and tight setups. Built with 7-ply mahogany shells, it produces the warm, rounded tone players expect from classic Gretsch-inspired designs. The smaller 18'' bass drum keeps the footprint manageable while still delivering a focused punch that works well in jazz, funk, and lighter pop settings.
30-degree bearing edges help the drumheads sit evenly against the shells, encouraging fuller resonance and easier tuning. Steel hoops add a controlled attack that keeps your playing articulate without sounding overly sharp. You also get Gretsch heads made by Remo for dependable response straight out of the box, plus a bass drum riser that helps the compact kick project clearly into the room.
Please Note: Hardware and cymbals NOT included.

The Catalina Club shell pack uses 7-ply mahogany construction to create a naturally warm, rounded drum tone. Mahogany emphasises the lower frequencies, giving the kit a rich body that works especially well for jazz, blues, and laid-back grooves. Even at lower volumes, the shells maintain depth and presence. The smaller configuration also keeps the kit manageable in tight rehearsal rooms or smaller venues, making it easier to transport and quicker to set up. If you need a drum kit that feels responsive without taking over the entire stage, this compact design keeps things practical.
Each drum is shaped with a 30° bearing edge, helping the drumhead sit evenly against the shell. This increased contact encourages a deeper, more open tone while also supporting smoother tuning adjustments. You’ll notice the drums respond quickly with a rounded sustain that complements the mahogany shells. It’s a subtle design feature, but it plays a big role in how the kit feels under the sticks. The result is a balanced response that suits dynamic playing, whether you're working through softer jazz passages or more energetic rhythms.
Fitted with 1.6 mm steel hoops, the Catalina Club maintains a clear and controlled attack across the kit. These hoops help focus the sound of each drum while keeping tuning stable during longer playing sessions. That means fewer adjustments mid-practice or mid-set. The hoops also add durability, so the drums can handle regular rehearsals, transport, and gigs. Paired with the mahogany shells, the result is a balanced tone that stays defined without losing warmth — a helpful combination when you want clarity without harshness.
This shell pack arrives fitted with Gretsch drum heads made by Remo, giving you a reliable starting point for tone and response. They offer a balanced feel that suits a wide range of playing styles straight away. The included bass drum riser is particularly useful for the compact 18'' kick drum, lifting it slightly so the beater strikes closer to the centre of the head. This simple addition improves projection and punch, helping the smaller bass drum sit confidently in rehearsals or live mixes.
