In this video I am playing on a Gretsch Brooklyn series 4-piece drum kit. This amazing drum kit really gives off a vintage vibe and feel. From the look to the tone you can just tell that there is a great history to the drums, even though they come out of todays modern manufacturing. Gretsch drums were born in Brooklyn way back in the 1800's and their sound has stood the test of time. Gretsch drums are some of the most recorded in music history. The famous quote "That Great Gretsch Sound" definitely applies to this kit. It sounds great and looks great too!
The Gretsch Brooklyn 4-piece shell pack comes with 6-ply maple/poplar shells that have 30 degree bearing edges. You get 7" x 10" and 8" x 12" rack toms, a 14" x 16" floor tom, and an 18" x 22" kick drum. The drums have the same hardware that comes on the USA custom drums, such as 3mm double-flanged metal "302" hoops, USA Custom lugs, and the GTS tom mounting system. On the inside of the drum shells is the classic Gretsch Silver Sealer. The icing on the cake is the extremely cool looking Cream Oyster wrap.
Are you looking for a drum kit with great looks, sound, and vibe? Then you have to check out this Gretsch Brooklyn series 4-Piece Shell Pack. You'll be glad you did. Thanks for watching!

Every single drum ever reviewed has a nice, warm, round tone to it, with a great feel. Yet I watch every video.
This Guy in the Best Drum Product Promoter! Demos them very well, Knowledgeable in Product Info, and etc... He could sell any drum.
Nick...you are my favorite drummer ! You make WHATEVER kit you play on sound great !! Love your videos .
WOW! Thank you MrRudyBar for the very nice words. Very much appreciated. All the best to you! - Nick
And he’s handsome too
These are top notch drums like the other models. Gretsch is the brand I trust the most.
I love the sound of this kit,,loved ludwig for years,,,i play a 61 premier mahogany,,,this is the first time i have heard gretsch drums man im in love..
I find it interesting that you always hear that the Recording Custom is the most recorded kit of all time, but here Nick says that Gretsch drums are the most recorded. If I were to guess I’d say gretsch has been recorded more
I’ve noticed a number of RUclips demonstrations, don’t use matching Brooklyn snares.
Considering they are very good snares, I can’t understand why.
It’s the most important part of a kit.
These are beautiful drums and my pick of the Gretsch series.
Very vintage warmth.
Roy Beckerman Because they don’t come with the shell pack, so they want to avoid any confusion customers might have about getting the snare along with the kit. It’s kind of a weird concept for people who haven’t played drums before.

I know..but if you were making a decision from RUclips, which many who buy online do, I’m sure they would like to hear the matching Brooklyn snare...
By all means tell them it’s an additional cost, but at least let them hear it.
I’ve bought quite a few snares site unseen, purely going the RUclips videos.
Some other dealers demonstrate these with the matching snare..
Excited to get my set in mid to late July! Silver Sparkle finish :D
If I ever find a place to live with my drums set up without reservation again I will seriously consider the Brooklyn Broadcaster Gretsch or the Classic series.
The size of the drums and type of drumheads mean the world to me.
I am a lifelong drummer, and I know what I want almost 50 years old, and been at it seriously since early childhood.
I have a limited edition Pearl Brazilian percussion conversion drumset now, but not really able to use it as much time.
For me, Gretsch, even the Catalina Club Jazz series, stood out, over the years, as particularly memorable tone and what I felt as, more like my own instrument, more than anything else I ever had a chance to play, in or out of studios, bars, shows.
The Broadcaster line I feel, in the right drum configuration, could be the Best I have yet to see as a drummer.
18" Bass
14" Floor
12" Tom
Standard all I want.

Sir, another great review!! Love the chops!!
My favorite review yet, mostly because I think this drum set sounds better than the others he reviewed
Love the Brooklyn drums ....and the drummer, of course....both brilliant. 🙂
Great review. Great drumming !!!!
I gonna try the Brooklyn.
i think this is one of the nicest sounding kits ive heard
these videos are never loud enough. Crank up the original sound!
I think these are the nicest shells on the Gretsch range. You can tune these up down around and back again. They sound great playing them as well 15-20 feet out front. I use Sabian HHX cymbals with them and I'm thrilled with the sound and versatility. The only genre I think I'd use a different Gretsch shell with would jazz. Broadkaster would be ticket there. Just my opinion.
That is one fine sounding snare!
casey kasem? cant wait to get my brooklyns, picking em up sunday
Damn those look awesome!
The tom mounts look different. Kinda look like the mounts for the Renown model.
Christian Canalita You are witness to the biggest POS rack tom mounting system in the history of drum engineering
Is it classic tho? Love this kit! I think it has way more personality than a DW kit, which sounds good but always kinda sterile to me.
I wish the video was an hour long. Fifty five minutes of it, Nick’s playing.
Hi I'm polo in 80 and 90i had a premir drum set i don't know the
The model but that's one of the best drum sets it was a 7 piece all in black were can I find one
Are those Clear Ambassadors on the rack toms? - they sound great. I have coated on mine and to me sounds a little dull. Might try the clears.
What kind of heads are on the toms? Looks like Ambassadors to me...
I'm not a drummer but, I like the sound of these drums.
It’s amazing how many of today’s brands sound very similar, except for Gretsch and Ludwig.
A&F is waaaayyy unique as well.
Good drumming
@Nick, How are you guys micing these demos? I don't see any mics on the drums themselves...I can only assume that you have one or two overheads?
This is an older video and we mic drums a bit differently now. But back then it was most likely a Royer R-121 ribbon mic in front of the kick drum and a Rode NT4 stereo mic above the drum kit. Pretty straight ahead set up, just trying to have the drums sound natural. The big difference now is that I am able to use more mics but still get a natural sound. Take care, Nick
Thanks for the review! Which Paiste cymbals are you playing in the video? Thank you :)
The best dumming reviews
Can you provide details on the cymbals in this video? Thanks
The snare is a Gretsch USA Bell Brass. Great snare but spendy, $1000 bucks
Great warm, smooth sound, but don’t like the toms attached to the cymbal stands.
Old school....prefer toms attached to the bass drum, as they’ve been for a hundred years.
Virgin bass drums are a lot of rubbish and hype.
Roy Beckerman Many old drum set photos show the mounted tom on a snare stand, not mounted on the bass drum. I think of virgin bass drums as being old school.

Most photos I seen of the old great drummers, had the tom attached to the bass drums.
Using snare stands were rare, although I’m using one now on a vintage Slingerland kit, because the tom holder is a bit flimsy, as sometimes can happen with vintage.
I actually like using the snare stand a lot.
Roy Beckerman I’m a big fan of bass drum tom mounts. I think it’s much easier, especially if you’re playing a lot of gigs & the ‘virgin’ drum thing is a crock. I bet 90% of drummers (or even higher) have some damping in their bass drums, so why the need for a virgin bass. I actually think the whole mounting systems are silly too. My Ludwig mounts old school, with a mount that goes into the tom & it’s resonant as hell. It’s mostly marketing, but I absolutely don’t want to spend another 150-200 bucks on extra stands to mount my toms after I’ve already dropped a lot of money on the kit.
you forgot to talk about the hoops Nick
Does Gretsch make a 12/13/16 toms shell pack?
Brooklyns are great drums....along with Ludwig...the best.
I've read that 5 lug toms are to be avoided since they are more difficult to tune and the hoops are harder to repair/replace. They recommended staying with 6 lugs at a minimum.
Scotty H I've been playing for 50 years and never had to replace a rim, ever. I had some 70s Gretsch 5 lug drums way back when and never noticed any issue.
Love this sounding kit, although prefer tom holders going into the bass drum, as they’ve been for a hundred years,
Bring back mounted toms! I hate hanging toms off stands. Precarious at best and they take up too much room. A manufacturing trend that went the wrong way. I never heard the merits of virgin bass drums.
Roy Beckerman I’ve never understood that. It doesn’t effect the resonance enough to matter & it saves you one or 2 extra stands. Aesthetically, I think it looks better as well. That beautiful, central tom holder was the 1st thing I noticed when I walked in a music store & laid eyes on my old Yamaha kit, way back in ‘85.
I recently was looking around for a Ludwig Classic Maple kit & was lucky enough to find a lightly used kit that was ordered with a tom holder, thankfully.
I also don’t like gimmicky tom mounts that do everything imaginable to touch the tom as little as possible. Just put a mount on the shell & be done with it. I know drum companies are always trying to come up with new & interesting hardware, but I really don’t think the resonance is effected enough to be noticeable. If you’re in a studio & you want the maximum amount of res possible, you can rig something up. But otherwise I find it all a bit silly. Same with 18 & 20” deep bass drums. Just, no.
This looks very much like a purpose-built dual stand for tom and cymbal, as opposed to a cymbal stand with a clamp on it. Take a look at the kit from the side views such as at 00:14. In fact it looks more like the cymbal is hanging off the tom stand, if you want to look at it that way.
What happened to sticking to the Gretsch tradition? Who decided that the standard bass drum size is now 22"x18"? That extra long size never existed years ago. Now all drummers have to schlep around a giant barrell. Makes no sense...
+Had Enough I guess to stay hip with the new trend of deeper bass drums, but for things like gigging a shallower drum would reign supreme, because its more portable, while maintaining a punchy warm tone.
+Brendan Cooke I laugh when they say Gretsch is so traditional yet they want you to buy this extra deep bass drum. Who's the fool loading it in and out of the car if you're a working drummer? The consumer. Many rock recordings from the 1970's have 14" deep kick drums on the recordings. I still don't know why it is considered hip or cool to have an elongated bass drum. I don't even think it looks good. 16" deep at the most is OK if you ask me. RIngo, Bonham, Rich, etc..all had 14" deep bass drums. Now it is cool to play a 18" or 20" deep kick. If anything it delays the rebound of the beater on the head of the kick.
Maybe it yields a deeper tone? I'm not sure either, but I'd rather carry a 24x14 bass drum than a 24x20. But I suppose there must be a sonic difference to influence this design change
+Had Enough That's what the sets are coming with these days, unless you can afford to buy custom.
+Brendan Cooke I've had both. The deeper drums lower the fundamental, but sacrifice punch and definition. No different than deep power toms vs standard size toms.
What snare is that?
Hi +Brendan Cooke. The snare in this video is the Gretsch S1-6514BB-BR Bell Brass - www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GrBellBrassSnr. Thanks for watching!
Ah, thanks! I enjoyed that snare! SweetwaterSound
Its a little out of my price range, is there anything you guys sell that is cheaper yet similar? Thanks!
+Brendan Cooke Give us a call at 800-222-4700 and we'd be glad to make some great recommendations!
Thanks for the helpful advice! Subscribed!
I wish Gretsch would get away from the gray paint/sealed inside the drums. I know that they say it contributes to their sound. Maybe that's true or not. To me it's just a way to be able to hide possible visual imperfections on the interior of the drum. I remember when Ludwig use to paint the interiors white. It just seems like a cheap alternative to properly finishing the interior. Not trying to nit pick here, I think their drums are great in sound, looks and build quality. The grey sealer to me just seems passé.
Ummm....no.
@@tfr2602 Really "intelligent" response.
Gretsch and Ludwig , over expensive DW , anyday.
Sonor over all 3. lol, I'm a Gretsch owner too.
Choosy drummers choose Gretsch
