GP Percussion drum sets offer extreme styling and incredible durability for players of all experience levels. GP Percussion is quickly growing in popularity because they deliver surprising quality at a modest price. This GP Cocktail drum set is perfect for the serious beginning drummer or intermediate player. The GP75 is made "For Musicians, By Musicians" and is ready to be rocked!
This was the cool set in the cocktail lounges of the '50s. Now it's making a comeback among jungle-style and retro players. This "vintage style" GP75 Cocktail drum set is compact, versatile and very affordable! The main 24x15 drum, played in a standing position, doubles as a bass drum and floor tom. The set features a 5" x 10" double tension tom and a 5.5" x 8" mini snare drum with a throwoff switch and adjustable wire tensioning. Mounting hardware is included for both drums. Also includes: (2) 10" closed hi hat cymbals, (1) 15" crash/ride cymbal and a 5" cowbell that all mount on an accessory arm, a heavy-duty chain drive bass pedal with multi-purpose beater, a tuning key and drum sticks. Shells are made of 9-ply poplar/basswood and are PVC covered for durability!
The GP75 is an extremely compact drum set that can be played in cramped clubs or at the front of the stage with the rest of the band. Volume and durability are not a problem with 9 ply poplar/basswood drum shells - the snare and tom have remarkable volume, projection and resonance while maintaining excellent warmth of tone and stick response. The added depth of the floor tom/bass drum adds plenty of low end to the bass spectrum of the kit. In a small venue, this kit has more than enough volume and projection. In a larger venue, the kit can be mic’d to provide ample volume.
With all the essentials included, this cocktail drum set ships ready to play and truly lives up to its reputation.
