    It's an excellent choice for a budget set, it has great tone and punch. If you've got $800 to spare, go for it.

    Welcome to Drum Chat BK!

    I have the Gretsch Catalina Maple kit, and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! The key is, as Zeta pointed out, will it be the sound that you love? The maple shell gives what is described as a "warmer tone," because the higher tones are not as pronounced. I love it, partly because it just sounds good to my ears, and partly because I want to play in a church setting, so the warmer sound seems better to me.

    Will you love it? The only way for you to know is to hear maple drums, and compare them to drums made of other woods. If you're sold on the sound of maple drums, you'll be sold on the Gretsch Catalina Maple kit!

    The Gretsch Catalina are well made intermediate model sets that hold up well, and to me sound pretty good. If you like the sound of the set I wouldn't hesitate to get them.
