Nick! this was the absolute BEST! demo of this fantastic new drum kit. i’m reaching the end of my “ playing out” drumming life, and thinking this set would be the perfect downsize bedroom recording studio set. Great clean musical drumming and demo using sticks,brushes ect......and explaining the details of the product. Sweetwater generally has good quality product demos anyway, but this kills it !!!

ONLY thing about micro bass drums. if you over play the cymbal or its too wide. bass drum sound completely disappears. so watch your touch. i suppose if you mic anything and compress it . it can sound good .

@@oneeyedlittleman I'd hardly call it "just decorating", the shells are made especially for Gretsch by Keller and Gretsch designed the shells themselves, it's nothing like the stuff the boutique companies do where they do actually just decorate a generic Keller maple shell with generic hardware and big price inflation.

Sounds great, but its basically the same size dimensions and setup as my Ludwig Breakbeats kit. And I've made some fairly minor, inexpensive improvements to the Breakbeats kit to get a sound that I actually prefer to this. The Ludwig comes with a 14 snare, BTW. And I have that silver sparkle finish that actually should be called white sparkle. Beautiful. Those low volume cymbals sound great.

This is such a sick mini bop kit. Gretsch Brooklyn series drums are fantastic quality drums. If I had the budget or ability to have an acoustic kit it would be one this sized and fitted with Roland triggers and use either a TM-6 pro or a Yamaha EAD-10 for a hybrid kit.

Have to say, I was never a fan of 13 inch Floor Toms until this video. This kit really packs a punch even for such small sizes, it's probably the best sounding micro kit on the market, even compared to some of the high end custom offerings from other brands. Really liking the sound of this, I see a Gretsch Brooklyn (in larger sizes) in my future. Just curious, any plans for Sweetwater to make videos on the process of how to order high end custom drum sets through Sweetwater? Say for example I was looking to order custom sizes for a high end Gretsch, DW, Pearl, or other brand kit, how would that process work? I'd love to see that video done with a Gretsch USA Custom/Broadkaster, DW Collectors or Pearl Music City/Masterworks kit!!

I watch your videos for the music, the product is a byproduct. You make everything sound great because of your music. In this case, I wonder if the almost hummable pitch of the toms will interfere with songs in keys that are not sympathetic...? Larger toms have a less defined pitch...

Nick, you crack me up too. Awesome demo, and that’s coming from a guitar player. But I’m super interested in home recording. I know you said they would be good for bee bop and jazz and worship... also cover gigs. As a guitarist and low budget, home recording just tying to get real drum sounds guy, how would these work for recording at home? I like the small footprint and the sound, but if I were to use a SM-57 on the kick and condenser overhead as a 2 mic setup, would I be able to get good sounds for like jam and garage rock sounds? I like to record songs and have fun with it, and not being a drummer, would this be a good setup to get a more real sound to record? Thanks for the great demo SW and especially Nick, I love all your stuff.
