Watch it here! 90s Gretsch Broadkaster (Burnt Orange) Sound Test/Demo 18/12/14
We're back with another Gretsch kit! Today’s video features 1990s Broadkaster Bop kit! This kit has a "Burnt Orange" satin finish, and all the hardware is powder-coated die cast! For this demo, we put Remo Coated Ambassadors on the tom batters and on the resos. On the bass drum batter, we put a Coated Ambassador, and and the reso, a Remo Fiberskyn Ambassador.
This configuration is: 18x14 Bass Drum, 12x8 Tom, 14x14 Floor Tom
This kit has 6-Ply Jasper shells with the Maple/Gum Gretsch formula, 30-degree bearing edges, and Gunmetal Powder-Coated Die Cast Hoops.
Snare: Pearl Masters Custom (Piano Black) 5.5x14
Cymbals: 22" Istanbul Agop "Tony Williams" Ride, 20" Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary Ride, 14" Zildjian Vintage Avedis Hi Hats
Mic Setup: two AKG C214 microphones as overheads, a Shure SM57 on the snare, a Shure SM57 on the hi-hats, and an AKG d112 on the bass drum.
On Thursday (2/25) we'll be posting the "In Concert" video of this kit with a Quintet!
Coming next Monday (3/1): We're starting our "Brushes" Series, where we compare different heads. The first three are the Remo Fiberskyns, Remo Coated Ambassadors, and Evans Calftones. If you have any heads you'd like to hear with brushes, let us know!
Let us know if there's any kits you'd like to see in the future!
Hope you enjoy!
