Gretsch Drums has established a legendary reputation for crafting high-quality, iconic drums with a distinctive sound that has shaped the landscape of jazz, rock, country, and pop music for over a century. Known for their warm, resonant tone and classic aesthetic, Gretsch drums have been favored by legendary drummers like Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and Ringo Starr. Their meticulous attention to detail and innovative designs, such as the iconic Cadillac and Brooklyn lines, have made them a staple in live and studio environments worldwide.

CenterStaging is proud to have a Gretsch Drums Artist Relations Office on campus for many reasons. There is a vibrant professional drummer, session player, and touring act community in Los Angeles that has driven the need for an on-site location. Physical closeness enables Gretsch to be in direct and ongoing contact with these artists, providing them with information regarding their individual needs and desires. This also facilitates product testing, customization, and demos tailored to Los Angeles’s multicultural musical landscape. Gretsch is also in a position to host clinics, workshops, and artist meet-and-greets that not only market their products but also enhance educational development within the local percussion environment. In addition, with Los Angeles remaining a hub for high-profile live performances and recording, having a ground-level office allows Gretsch to remain in touch with new trends and feedback from artists so their instruments can remain in alignment with modern playing styles. It also facilitates closer working relationships with artists creating some of the most influential music in the world.

CenterStaging carries a variety of Gretsch Drums and other Gretsch products that your can view in our gear catalog. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there’s anything we can help you with!
