The history of Gretsch drums goes back to the 1870s, when Friedrich Gretsch left Germany for a new life in America and settled in Brooklyn. His first job was with the Albert Houdlett and Son company, making drums and banjos. At the age of 27 Friedrich opened his own shop on South 4th Street, Brooklyn, in 1883, and was also involved in the production of drums, tambourines and toy instruments for various wholesalers.
