Hi all,
New here. I have a Midnight Blue Pearl Gretsch Set that I would like to sell, but not sure what the value is. Model 4415. It has 1 mounted tom, one floor, snare, bass drum, a Zildjian Ride and crash (missing the 3 sizzle rivots), no high hats. Missing all bottom skins and hardware except the snare. It is in pretty decent condition, but far from perfect.
I have had this set since the early 70's, bought it used so it is most likely a 60's set.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
Maybe post some photos please. We like to look at stuff like this:D
Ok, here are a couple. I had to resize, so I am not sure how they will look.
A couple more.
Blair, your message box is full, so here is the reply: No idea yet, just pulled it out of storage and I am researching the value.
That set should spiff up nicely. This Gretsch set was made shortly before the drum manufacturers just assumed that they could force feed generic metal snare drums to people wanting new drum sets. I always wanted (and still want) a top quality wood shell snare drum in factory matched wrap to the drum set. If I ever get the desire to use a metal snare drum with any of my vintage sets, I have a Rogers Power Tone COB or a Black Galaxy Acrolite. That Acro sounds very much like a good wood shell snare with a bit more "pop". I also have a couple incomplete project snare drums that are both Slingerlands with Zoomatic strainers.

Thanks for the info.

Pete I don't have the year model catalog of your kit, but it is in the progressive jazz configuration, that model having a metal snare drum instead of a wooden one like your kit has, and the Progressive jazz kit model # is 4025 in my 1964 gretsch catalog.
Thanks, I don't know where to find a kit model no., but the drums each have their own. The model in my orig. post was from the mounted tom.
