What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


What's Included


Boom and straight cymbal stands





Gretsch's G3-series cymbal stands, the GRG3CB and GRG3CS, offer stability and positional freedom at a bargain price. 3mm double-braced legs keep movement to a minimum, even under heavy rides and crashes. And graduated tube joints with brass bushings and integrated nylon fiber memory locks provide all-night slip-free performance. A feature we at Sweetwater especially like in the GRG3CB is its gearless tilter, which allows cymbals to be locked in at any angle ? even "between the teeth" of traditional stands. Classic Gretsch white cymbal felts and an ergonomic knurled wing nut complete the package.





Smooth single-chain bass pedal





The Gretsch G3 kick pedal's smooth, lightweight single-chain drive feels responsive and fluid underfoot. Room for customization includes adjustable pedal height and beater angle (dependent), as well as standard spring tension, allowing players to customize stroke length and resistance for swing to rock 'n 'roll. Rubber-lined hoop arms and an easy-adjusting offset hoop clamp securely grip bass drums during play. And Gretsch's included Radius Edge Cut white felt beater gives players a timeless, balanced warmth and attack.





Double-braced hi-hat stand





The Gretsch G3 hi-hat stand's dependability and value belie its price point. The smooth-playing GRG3HH is driven by a direct-pull chain drive with 4-position tension adjuster, which lets choosy players dial in their preferred level of pedal resistance. Meanwhile, an adjustable bottom cymbal tilter and locking clutch customize cymbal sway and play. Premium features you might not to expect from a stand at this level include graduated tube joints with an integrated nylon fiber memory lock, which provide all-night slip-free performance.





Double-braced snare stand with geared basket tilter





Proper snare positioning is essential to drumming form. Whether you grip French, German, or traditional, the Gretsch G3 snare stand will take you where you need to go. From its stable rubber feet and double-braced tripod base to its smooth geared basket tilter, the GRG3CS is built for stability and positionability. Features we like are the integrated nylon fiber memory height lock and oversized knurled basket tensioner, which save strain on your wrist when you need to lock in your snare settings.
