General

The famous Broadkaster drum set has been reissued! With the rejuvenated Broadkaster series, Gretsch pays homage to its most popular kit to date. Take the BK-J403-ASP, for instance, a three-piece shell set with an Anniversary Sparkle finish. The set consists of a 20-inch bass drum, a 12-inch tom and a 14-inch floor tom - a configuration referred to by Gretsch as the Classic Jazz kit.

Three-ply shells

The Broadkaster shells - old and new alike - are quite thin. Made of two plies of maple with a single poplar ply in between, they produce a sound with plenty of resonance and a quick response. The BK-J403-ASP set is equipped with Standard Build hardware - the modern Gretsch variety - including a GTS tom mount, which suspends the tom by its hoop to ensure optimal resonance. Telescopic bass drum legs and floor tom legs with memory locks add additional modern flair.

Bearing edges and hoops

The bearing edges of the bass drum and toms have been finished by hand. Their 30-degree reverse roundover edges increase the surface contact between shell and drumhead, guaranteeing a full sound. The steel hoops are double-flanged, just like they used to be in the 1950s, but made of a more rugged material. As a beautiful finishing touch, the wooden Satin Classic Maple bass drum hoops have decorative Anniversary Sparkle inlays.
