The original thin 3-ply shell, born over 100 years ago in the roaring '20s, now helps define the modern era. The maple/poplar/maple shell of today's Broadkaster brings with it all the sonic brilliance of its namsake.

Broadkaster shells are made with Gretsch's North American maple/poplar/maple formula. Each shell includes an interior-ply scarf joint that supplies added structural integrity to thin, musical shells. Like all USA-made Gretsch drums, shell interiors are finished with classic Gretsch Silver Sealer. The shell is hand finished with a roundover bearing edge, which allows greater surface contact between the bearing edge and drumhead. The result is tone that is incredibly deep, rich and warm.

Like its legendary predecessors from the 1950s, today’s Broadkaster faithfully produces warm, dense and balanced tones. Thanks to the modern manufacturing advancements and finishing technology, today’s Broadkaster has even greater dynamic response and sonic presence than the originals.
