2012 Gretsch Renown Purewood Hickory 5 piece shell pack Limited Edition (35 sets produced worldwide) 10, 12, 14, 20 plus 14 inch matching snare drum. The Gretsch Renown Purewood Limited series continues with American hickory wood. Highly prized for its natural strength and density, hickory is a natural extension for the Purewood series. Tonal properties for the bass drum feature tremendous low end combined with punchy attack. Tom tones have an emphasis on the higher and lower frequencies to produce a focused, lively and controlled sound. The hardness of Hickory produces a solid wood tone and crack in the snare while retaining sensitivity for all styles of playing. Shell interiors are finished naturally and shell exteriors are finished in natural gloss lacquer to enhance the unique visual characteristics of hickory.
