I played a set of Gretsch Brooklyns yesterday during church service. First time I ever used a 24-inch kick. It doesn't take much for it to react in a huge way. That thing's a cannon! I did like how easy it was to tune the toms. However, there's issues with the snare drum. You can only do loose to medium low tuning. I think someone at the factory installed tension rods that are a bit too long. Hope my friend Scott Smith can get that fixed (BTW, thanks for letting play your kit).

Hi - We are glad you were able to jam on a Brooklyn kit and enjoy it. Thanks for posting. Would you mind sending an email in to customerserviceatgretschdrumsd­otcom about the tension rod issue on the snare? A picture or two would be great as well. We want to make sure this issue gets addressed immediately. Thanks again!

What snare is he using in this video?

[gretschdrumsusa]

He is using a wood 6.5x14 Brooklyn snare in matching Grey Oyster finish.

"Hi this is Keith Carlock...I recently joined the Gretsch drums team... also recently lost about 400 pounds... also still one of the best players to ever grace the instrument."

... Keith winning at life, as usual.

Thats one of the best sounding drum kits I have ever heard. Keith is my favorite drummer.

The bass drum sounds...well...perfect.And the snare is so smooth and warm. Tone wise that set is magic.

Cannot wait to play on these. I wish to own some soon. Check out my vidz to see my 2 Gretsch kits!

Beautiful sounding kit. Modern drummer recently published a review and audio samples of Brooklyn series on their web pages, and to me, that is one of the most gorgeous drum recordings I've ever heard. I play a Sonor Designer series kit myself, but I always like to hear and see top of the line kits like the new Brooklyn series. Plus, Keith is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for uploading this vid. Cheers from Croatia!
