From Gretsch:

"Broadkaster shells are made with our North American maple/poplar/maple formula. Each shell includes an interior-ply scarf joint that supplies added structural integrity to thin, musical shells. Like all USA-made Gretsch drums, shell interiors are finished with classic Gretsch Silver Sealer. The shell is hand finished with a round-over bearing edge, which allows greater surface contact between the bearing edge and drumhead. The result is tone that is incredibly deep, rich and warm.

Broadkaster toms are outfitted with Gretsch’s “302” 3mm, double flanged steel hoops. These hoops are similar to “Stick Chopper” hoops used in the 1950s, but are constructed from a heavier gauge steel to stand up to today’s more assertive playing styles. The 302 hoop helps create a more open tone than a die-cast hoop and add ambient overtones to the overall tonal characteristic.

Like its legendary predecessors from the 1950s, today’s Broadkaster faithfully produces warm, dense and balanced tones. Thanks to the modern manufacturing advancements and finishing technology, today’s Broadkaster has even greater dynamic response and sonic presence than the originals."
