gretsch renown maple

I've been itching for a new kit for a while now. For years now I've been playing my PDP X7 kit (the first release poplar ones, not maple) and am just kinda fed up with the tone of the drums. The soft wood really doesn't do it for me. It doesn't resonate very well, and I don't think the drums...

hey can somebody explain the differences between Gretsch Renown Maple and Gretsch New Classic please. Thanks : )

This is my first new threat on the DrummerWorld forum, and I've got a problem. I just picked up a Gretsch Renown Maple kit (which is AWESOME btw), but I can't clip my mics to the toms. I have Sennheiser e604 drum mics which worked great for my previous kit, but there isn't enough room between...
