    Good Points: Finish is flawless (cherry burst). Features for the money are incredible. Die Cast Hoops, North American Rock Maple Shells, Flawless Finish, 30 degree bearing edges (flawlessly cut) This set is practically indistinguishable from a USA Custom set. The only difference is the UV finish instead of Nitrocellulose on the Gretsch custom.


    Bad Points: As with all Painted drum finishes you have to baby them. I suggest going over the set as soon as you get it with a good quality car wax which will protect the finish from swirls marks and fine scratches.


    General comments: I have played this set now for over a year and have owned Pearl, Slingerland, Ludwig, and Rogers. I can say that the Gretsch Renown Maple is the best sounding kit I have ever owned.
