DW Jazz Series
Gumwood-core jazz drum kit line
Drum kit · United States
The DW Jazz Series is a Collector's Series configuration inspired by American jazz. Its shells use a 3-ply gumwood core, paired with maple, mahogany or cherry plies, to produce a round, focused tone suited to everything from bebop to pop on stage and in the studio. A vintage-style rounded bearing edge broadens the kit's tonal range.

Gretsch Round Badge Snare
Three-ply maple with die-cast hoops
Percussion · United States
The Round Badge era snare pairs the same silver-sealed three-ply shell as the kits with die-cast hoops, giving a dry, focused crack that sits under a cymbal without fighting it.

Gretsch Round Badge
"That great Gretsch sound"
Drum kit · United States
Round Badge kits — named for the badge shape used until about 1971 — pair three-ply maple and gum shells with silver-sealed interiors and die-cast hoops. The dry, woody tone is the sound of American jazz drumming, and Art Blakey, Tony Williams, and Elvin Jones all played them.

Gretsch Progressive Jazz
The bebop configuration
Drum kit · United States
An 18" bass drum with a 12" tom and a 14" floor tom: small, quick, and pitched high enough to sit under a ride cymbal rather than compete with it. The configuration is named for the music it was built for.
