Well now that the deal is done I will reveal my SSB bop kit went to a super cool jazz drummer in NYC. Anyway this kit worked its way to me as part of our deal. I have done nothing to it yet. 12 14 20 with matching snare.

My world what a treat to see theses Gretch drums in this shape nice very nice

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

A couple of beautiful Gretsch kits you have there all right! I always wonder at the logic of FT leg placement on Gretsch....but whatever! They're gorgeous!

Nice Manny! I have the same kit. Yours look to be in much better shape than mine when I received them but man I love em! I would tell you how much your going to love them but with all the awesome Gretsch stuff you have had in and out of your stable I would be preaching to the choir!

Comes at a perfect time. Just got a call from a studio to track a rock album. A 16x16 floor would be more ideal but I can get the 14 low.
