Gretsch Formula Maple Shell Construction

At the heart of Catalina Maple CM2 is Gretsch's 7-ply Formula Maple shell design. Maple is prized for its balanced tonal response, delivering a combination of warmth, clarity and projection that adapts well to a wide variety of musical styles. Combined with traditional 30-degree bearing edges and natural shell interiors, these shells produce a lively, resonant character with excellent articulation and dynamic sensitivity across the entire tuning range.

Expanded 7-Piece Configuration

The CM2-E627 configuration features a 22x16" bass drum, 8x7", 10x7" and 12x8" rack toms, 14x14" and 16x16" floor toms, and a matching 14x6.5" snare drum. This extensive setup delivers exceptional tonal range, from the articulate attack of the smaller rack toms to the powerful low-end presence of the larger floor toms. The expanded configuration gives drummers additional creative options for fills, transitions and tuning combinations while maintaining the cohesive voice of a complete Gretsch maple kit.

Upgraded GTS Suspension System

The Catalina Maple CM2 features an upgraded low-profile off-the-shell GTS Tom Suspension System designed to maximize shell resonance while maintaining secure positioning. By minimizing contact with the shell, the system allows toms to vibrate more freely for noticeably longer sustain and a more natural tonal response. The result is an open, expressive sound that helps every tom in this expanded configuration speak clearly and consistently.

Modern Hardware and Reliable Performance

Catalina Maple CM2 combines contemporary hardware design with drummer-friendly functionality. Features such as the distinctive gas cap bass drum mount plate with G memory lock, Gretsch T-Wing hardware and rubber-isolated die-cast bass drum claws provide dependable operation while helping preserve the kit's appearance over time. The redesigned Full Range snare throw off and butt plate improve reliability and ease of adjustment, while REMO drumheads come installed for consistent performance right out of the box.

Blending legendary Gretsch shell design with modern hardware enhancements, the Catalina Maple CM2 Series offers an ideal balance of tone, playability and contemporary styling. Its expansive 7-piece configuration provides the tonal range and flexibility demanded by drummers who perform across multiple genres while delivering the responsive feel expected from premium maple shells.
