Gretsch Drums Energy Complete 5-Piece Drum Set With 22" Bass Drum and Paiste Cymbals - Gloss Grey Steel

Starting drums is easier to navigate when the essential pieces arrive together in one coordinated setup. The Gretsch Energy 5-piece drum set with Paiste cymbals combines a versatile shell configuration, dependable hardware and a complete cymbal pack for practice, lessons, rehearsals and early performances. Its 7-ply poplar shells pair with 30-degree bearing edges to produce a warm, balanced response with the punch and low-end presence needed across a wide range of musical styles. The set includes a 22x16" bass drum, 10x7 and 12x8" rack toms, a 16x14" floor tom and a matching 14x5" snare, along with Paiste 101 14" hi-hats, 16" crash and 20" ride cymbals. A bass drum pedal, hi-hat stand, snare stand and two cymbal stands complete the package, leaving the drummer to add only a throne and sticks.

Poplar Shells With Classic Gretsch Construction

Each drum features a 7-ply poplar shell designed to provide an approachable combination of warmth, attack and controlled sustain. Gretsch 30-degree bearing edges establish consistent contact between the shells and heads, supporting a rounded response that remains clear during practice or ensemble playing. The snare and toms are fitted with 1.6 mm triple-flanged steel hoops for straightforward tuning and an open, responsive character, while matching wood hoops give the 22" bass drum a cohesive appearance. Gretsch by Remo drum heads complete the shell package, providing a practical foundation that allows developing drummers to begin playing immediately while learning how tuning and head tension shape the sound of an acoustic drum set.

Paiste Cymbals and Essential Hardware Included

A complete Paiste 101 cymbal set expands the Energy kit beyond the drums themselves. The package includes 14" hi-hats for timekeeping and accents, a 16" crash for dynamic punctuation and a 20" ride for steady patterns and broader cymbal textures. Gretsch also supplies the core hardware required to position and play the set, including a bass drum pedal, hi-hat stand, snare stand, straight cymbal stand and boom cymbal stand. Together, these components create a coordinated setup without requiring the drummer to select individual stands, pedals or cymbals separately, making the kit easier to assemble for home practice, instructional environments and first-band applications.

Gretsch Energy Drum Set: A Complete Foundation for Developing Drummers

With familiar drum sizes, a full range of cymbal voices and hardware that supports a standard five-piece configuration, the Energy set gives new players room to develop fundamental coordination, dynamics and setup preferences. The 10" and 12" rack toms transition naturally to the 16" floor tom, while the 22" bass drum and 14" snare establish the rhythmic foundation expected in rock, pop, country and other contemporary styles. Available in three gloss finishes, the kit also brings a coordinated Gretsch look to the practice room or stage. For drummers seeking a complete acoustic setup backed by reputable drum and cymbal brands, the Gretsch Energy 5-piece drum set provides the essential instruments and hardware needed to begin playing.
