Testing out Remo Fiberskyns on a Catalina Club

[Mostly Bop Drums]

We just put up a new video on our YouTube channel demonstrating some Remo Fiberskyns on a Gretsch Catalina Club! We put Fiberskyn Ambassadors on the batters and Diplomats on the resos, and a powerstroke 3 on the bass drum batter.

Here's the link for anyone interested - [Round 2] Gretsch Catalina Bop (Rosewood Gloss) w/Remo Fiberskyns 18/12/14 Sound Test/Demo - YouTube

We previously featured this kit with Remo coated ambassadors, so here's that video for comparison - 2020 Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz Rosewood Gloss (Modified) Sound Test/Demo 18/12/14 - YouTube

Hope you enjoy!

Snare: Kasha Drums 6.5x14 Cherry Snare (we build these in-house!) Cymbals: 20" Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary Ride, 20" Vintage Zildjian Avedis Ride, 14" Vintage Avedis Hi-Hats. Gabe plays Vater Superjazz sticks.
This 2020 limited edition kit we used features a Rosewood gloss. It has been slightly upgraded: we replaced the standard 1.6 mm hoops with the thicker 2.3 mm hoops. The unfinished insides of the shells have been finished using Tung oil, and the bearing edges have been sanded to maximize even contact.
The Gretsch Catalina Club bop kit is back in the studio, this time with Remo Fiberskyns on the toms (Ambassadors on batter, Diplomats on reso) and a Remo Fiberskyn Powerstroke 3 on the bass drum (batter). Performed by Gabriel Landa.

I loved those heads on my 1980 Gretsch kit.
