Silver Glass Glitter question Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Looks like it would be nice Johnny! Can you get this photo in High Resolution? In the meantime I will be looking for one. I'm wondering if this silver glass glitter is available in modern wrap?

I like the Rogers silver glass glitter, they really look cool under lights. Here's a kit I use to own.

Thanks guys.

In the meantime Gretsch has offered to send me some swatches. I do have a couple pages of little pieces of PrecisionDrum swatches somewhere here too. I just remembered I had them when I read your post Rims n Skins.

Here are some Ludwig and Camco Silver Sparkle 70's wrap. I used that Camco bass, Tom and a Gretsch Silver sparkle floor tom last weekend and I was looking at them from off stage and they looked beautiful under the stage lights.

Gretsch sent me some swatches - a 'Silver Glass' and Silver Sparkle

I have some small PrecisionDrum Silver Sparkle and Glitter swatches as well. After comparing I would say the Silver Sparkle is my choice. It's more 'Silvery' and stands out better.

Both the PrecisionDrum and the Gretsch Silver Glitter look more like a Silver-Ginger....very nice though, but it does not have the bright silver shine like the.

Tim - That is one really cool 'mutt-kit'! It must sound great too. There are some terrific individual component drums in that kit.

Too many great drums to list here!

Thanks John, I usually use a Silver sparkle 16x16 Gretsch with the Camco's since it is a Jasper shell. My little three drum Jasper kit. I have a few silver sparkle drums to make different configurations with.

Wow! I'll say! Nice little family of Silver Sparkle drums there.

I'm rooting for Sparkle so far. The Silver Sparkle swatch I got from Gretsch in the mail this week is dynamite.

The Gretsch Silver Sparkle looks really nice. That 73 Gretsch floor tom Silver Sparkle is a tad brighter then the Camco and Ludwig of mine.

I am sure the current Gretsch Silver sparkle is gorgeous. Now I have to go to the Gretsch site and look at them.

WOW, that nitron glass looks like diamonds.
