...still a good deal? According to seller:
"The toms were wrapped at Chicago drum exchange 10 yr's ago. excellent condition.Heavy duty Pearl bass drum spurs were installed when bass was re-wrapped.. New hoops installed on toms."
Probably 3 ply interiors without tags right?
Good deal yes... but yes & no on if they are actually 3ply shells or not.
Gretsch paper tags first appear in 1961 and by that time 6ply shells was in full production since about 1958'ish.
That RB kit could also be a mixed shell kit... meaning... any of them could be 3ply shell while one or more could be 6ply shells without paper tags.
Not bad at all on the price...

My 58' Progressive Jazz kit came that way... 3-ply toms, 6-ply bass drum. All from the Brooklyn factory.

Looks like a good deal to me. How pristine can you expect for that kinda money? The mods actually make it more usable. Great gigging set and sizes.....
Thanks all, I'll keep you posted.
