History:
Purchase: i bought this off Musicians Friend for $699
I had a Pearl Export before but i wanted to upgrade to better wood like birch.
What I Like About This Unit: This is probably the best high quality intermediate set that i have ever played.
The quality that is put onto these drums is unbelievable! The shells have a great tone and a warmth to them. This is a very sturdy drumset that will put up with anything. The tom mounts are very easy to use and adjust.
What I Do NOT Like About The Gretsch Catalina Birch Fusion Drum Set: My only dislike about it is that some muting will be required to get rid of some uneccesary overtones on the toms.
Catalina Birch Fusion Drum Set Quality: The construction is amazing and everything is built to the highest quality.
Summary: the main point is that nowhere else will you be able to find such an amazing BIRCH set for $699!!!

If you find one and like the Gretsch (or even a classic Tele) sound, you won't do much better with a more expensive model or version.
Your problem?
Gretsch Electromatic Double Jet - Electric_Guitars
The bottom line...... if you find one of these guitars, buy it! It would seem that Gretsch's are not as popular as Ibanez's or Fender's nowadays but
