Catalina Club Jazz - SWG : 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.
