But there's much more.... Read below everything that the new Catalina Evo offers
The Gretsch Catalina EVO brings the brand's identity to an electronic drum kit. The presence of the shells, the aesthetic appearance, and the immense possibilities of digital sound come together in a set for drummers who want to study, create, and take their music to different environments.
The novelty of Catalina EVO lies precisely in that union: the experience of sitting behind a Gretsch with the flexibility of an electronic drum kit. An especially attractive combination for those who alternate between acoustic and electronic instruments and value maintaining a recognizable setup while playing.
Real Shells and Mesh Heads
The Catalina full-size shells allow you to set up the kit with a layout similar to that of an acoustic set. This feature makes it easier to work with familiar spatial references and maintains the visual presence of a traditional drum kit.
The range is offered in four and five-piece configurations and in Black Sparkle and Walnut Glaze finishes. This way, you can choose both the layout and the aesthetics that best fit your space and playing style.The Catalina Evo features the new Gretsch Dynamic Mesh heads, designed to provide a response and rebound as close as possible to that of an acoustic drum kit, with very low noise levels.
The underside of the shells uses single-ply mesh heads, which complete the appearance of a real drum kit. The result is that you see an acoustic drum kit from any angle, an important detail for stages, classrooms, and video recording spaces.
Catalina EVO Module: Gretsch Sounds and Customization
The module offers you over 500 instruments, 50 factory kits, and 128 customizable memories. Its sounds use dynamic layers, round-robin alternating samples, and ambient recordings to provide variation and depth to the performance.
You can import WAV files into 128 positions and use compression, parametric equalization, reverbs, and multi-effects to customize your settings.
For live performances, the individual outputs allow you to organize separate signals to a mixer. In the studio, multi-channel audio facilitates continuing the mix on the computer. The 2.7" OLED screen provides access to the module's functions.
The module offers:
Main L/Mono and R outputs.
Four individual outputs with flexible assignment.
6.35 and 3.5 mm headphone connections.
Stereo Mix In.
Bluetooth Audio and MIDI.
- USB-C for audio and MIDI.
- Direct WAV recording to USB memory.
Pads and Cymbals
The snare and tom pads feature dual-zone detection at the head and the rim. This will allow you to achieve differentiated articulations.
The bass drum incorporates an excellent trigger system with two sensors. Snare, toms, bass drum, and cymbals thus form an electronic set that will provide you with the feel of an acoustic set.
The Catalina Evo includes a 14" hi-hat, a 16" crash, and an 18" ride. All feature three-zone detection and allow you to play across their entire surface, offering freedom to position the cymbals according to your playing style or needs.
The hi-hat uses the top cymbal, the bottom cymbal as in a conventional hi-hat, and a specific controller to reproduce the openings, closures, and operation with the foot. It mounts on a standard stand.
Gretsch E-Drum Remote App: Editing, Practice, and Repertoire Organization
The Gretsch E-Drum Remote app expands control of the instrument from a connected device. It allows you to edit kits, select instruments, and customize the sound, as well as configure access to the functions you use the most.
Its training tools help give a specific goal to each session:
More is More: suggests working on the number of hits executed in a minute.
Just in Time: focuses on developing rhythmic precision.
Pyramid: allows you to practice with progressive tempo increments.
The On Stage mode allows you to organize repertoires and associate each song with a kit, a metronome setting, a PDF document, or a backing track. This makes it easier to prepare the necessary resources for a rehearsal or performance.
The app also checks the availability of new firmware versions and allows you to start installation wirelessly.Included Gretsch Explorer Hardware
