on gretsch drum what does it mean when they say "euro" or "standard for example in the catalina birch 5 piece euro?

ANSWER

Hi, Stampie--

The Standard kit has 12" x 8" and 12" x 9" mounted toms, a 16" x 16" floor tom, a 22" x 18" bass drum and a deep 14" x 6.5" snare. "Euro," the configuration I received, is Gretsch nomenclature for 10" x 8", 12" x 9" mounted toms, a 16" x 16" floor tom, a 22" x 18" bass drum, and a 14" x 5.5" snare drum.
