How will my drums be delivered?

All starter drum kits are delivered in the smallest number of boxes. They will be packed inside one another and will need assembling. Starter kits are always delivered without the heads & hoops attached. This isn’t something to be intimidated by, it’s the basics of drum assembly, and is good practice to get a better understanding of your new kit! The heads will then need to be tightened and tuned. Using the drum key provided, rotate all the lugs clockwise to tighten, and anti-clockwise to loosen – simple! 

Once the drumheads are attached, you’re ready to set up! You may want to have a look at our set up guide or check out our unboxing video on YouTube. You can hear from the video that the stock heads on the kit sound great and the floor tom sounds lovely and full. Just make sure the stands are at the right height, and the kit is comfortable to play.

Gretsch drums are often described as warm, round, and musical, with shells and bearing edges designed to produce a focused yet open sound.

From vintage-inspired designs to modern professional kits, Gretsch maintains a clear sonic identity across its ranges.

In addition to drum kits, Gretsch also produces snares and hardware that reflect the same attention to tone and tradition. For drummers who value feel, heritage, and a sound that sits naturally in a mix, Gretsch remains one of the most recognisable and respected names in drumming.

Acoustic Drum Kits

Drums

Drums are the rhythmic backbone of modern music, providing pulse, energy, and structure across countless styles and genres. From acoustic drum kits and marching drums to hand percussion and electronic systems, drums are designed to be played physically and expressively, responding directly to touch, technique, and dynamics.

Acoustic drums are built from shells, heads, and hardware that work together to shape tone, volume, and sustain. Different sizes, materials, and tunings allow drummers to create sounds ranging from deep and powerful to tight and articulate. Electronic drums expand this further by offering volume control, sound variety, and integration with recording and digital music systems.

Drums are used in live performance, recording, education, and practice, making them one of the most versatile instrument families in music. Whether played softly or with force, alone or as part of a full band, drums play a central role in driving rhythm, supporting musicians, and shaping the feel of a piece of music.
