Launching into 2025, Gretsch’s Catalina Maple gets a major upgrade with innovations drummers have been dreaming of. Known for timeless craftsmanship, tone, and style.

This isn’t just a cosmetic refresh, it’s a thoughtful evolution based on honest drummer feedback, ensuring that the Catalina Maple remains a go-to choice for players at every level. Whether you’ve been a longtime fan or just discovered the magic of Gretsch, this new lineup is worth your attention.

New Innovations That Matter

Two major technical upgrades are at the heart of the 2025 redesign, each elevating the Catalina Maple kit’s sound, response, and playability.

1. The GTS Tom Mount System

For years, drummers have begged for more sustain and resonance from their toms, and Gretsch has delivered with the new GTS Tom Mount System. This refined suspension system lets your toms breathe, enhancing their natural sustain and allowing every note to ring through warm and packed like they were meant to. You’ll instantly hear the difference if you love open, lively drum tones.

2. Full Range Throw-Off

For the first time, every snare in the new Catalina Maple line is fitted with Gretsch’s Full Range Throw-Off, providing a smoother, more dependable action to the kit’s most articulate drum. Whether you play ghost notes or crank out rimshots that cut through the mix, this upgraded throw-off guarantees your snare responds precisely the way you want—every time.

More Than Just Sound, A Visual Statement

Gretsch has always known that when it comes to drums, it’s not only about the sound but also about style. Introducing four fantastic new finishes in the 2025 Catalina Maple Series to make a statement:

  • Antique Maple Gloss: Warm, vintage inspiration exuding elegance.
  • Lemon Sparkle: Bold and bright, demanding attention.
  • Seafoam Green Gloss: Cool retro shade oozing vintage charm.
  • Purple Gloss: Deep, rich, and undeniably striking.

These finishes aren’t just colors; they’re personality on display, letting the drummer find a look that matches their sound. This isn’t an update. This is a reminder of why we love drums, and Gretsch just gave us even more reason to play.
