2014 version has outstanding sound and value for money
This is the third Catalina Jazz kit I have purchased over the years. The 2014 version is really excellent, the best yet. The quality of the components and the shell finish is far better than my previous Catalina kits. The Satin Walnut Glaze looks tasteful and or high quality. Everyone I play with has commented on how 'pretty' the kit looks. I always fit Evans EQ3 heads, black reso with 5" hole and white coated batter, to my bass drums and this Gretsch 18" bass drum sounds extremely punchy and musical with the Evans heads fitted. Unbelievable for an 18" x 14" drum. I use a Gretsch Bubinga snare which matches the deep punchy tone of the toms very well. Overall this kit is worth much more than the bargain price it sells for. It is easy to carry, easy to store and sounds big and punchy. A highly enjoyable drum kit to play and I would recommend it to anyone.

Is my first set drums. It was a gift from my wife. After much searching on all brands and sets, it was the most suitable for my new beginning. Perfect Quality and material, design, size and sound. For someone who wants to start now and buy a reliable and very honest for the set money is the Catalina Club Jazz. Every night guys, before i go to sleep, i go through the room and take a look. They are awesome beautiful set.

The best price-quality
The drum sounds awesome even too good considering how few money it costs: I still use it in professional enviroments, studio recordings ecc.
Of course the heads need to be changed, and the snare isn't that great of a sound, BUT for this price, I'd say the drum sounds amazing

small kit, big sound
I bought this kit primarily to use in small venues where space is limited. After using it a few times it has become my go to kit for any gig.
Nice features like memory clamps on the tom mount which make setups that bit quicker. The finish beautiful and really makes the kit stand out as something special.
These drums tune very well and sound great in a variety of tunings. For a small kit it has a huge sound.
The hardware is not the highest quality but it all works perfectly. Overall the quality of this instrument is very high.
This kit attracts compliments wherever it goes and it's a pleasure to play

Fantastic for the price
Fantastic kit for the price point, shows that Gretsch quality without the price point- I use the kit tuned high for jazz and the bass drum is enough to punch through well while keeping balanced across the kit

A Beauty
I have received my Gretsch kit for my birthday and have to say it's a real Beauty. I have it set up and for a couple of weeks now I keep popping into the room at all hours just to have a look at it. I Love it. It plays wonderfully and I love the sound. As a drummer for over 45 years I know a lot about drum kits and I have to say this is a real joy to play. A purchase well spent.
