If you are a musician, you must have a specific instrument. So you are a drummer, you must have your favourite set of drums. If you are a beginner drummer, you may not want something too expensive and fancy. And that is what this article will guide you through today.
It is important to practice drumming properly. And that practice does not come by going into music stores having all the instruments and banging on the drums every now and then. You need your personal set of drums to get yourself started. And the Catalina Club is the perfect start.
What is Gretsch Catalina Club?
This starter drum set was built by the Gretsch company which was founded in 1883 by a German immigrant in the USA. The company was later owned by the Drum workshop in 2015. It is mainly used to play Jazz and the company claims to be the best at playing it, given they have been producing these drums for a long time.
The Gretsch Club includes a series of small bass drums, matching wood snares, and a 4-piece drum kit.
