I was able to save a bit of $$ and I wanted to treat myself for Christmas.
This year I landed with 3 eras of vintage gretsch . 12" is round badge, 14 is drop g, 16 is ssb #1
Snare is w&a perfection with wood hoops.
I am thinking.. since they sound good... And it is the most fun kit I have ever had... That I can wrap them all in the same color and buy an 18" shell for a bass drum alternative.
Leaving the snare natural...
Has anybody used drummaker for wrap?
Jammin Sam? Precision?
Choices are
1) burgundy sparkle - not merlot. Like the darker old version
2)silver glass glitter
3) root beer glass glitter
4) leave alone - only wrap 14 to make it a jelly bean.
My concern is the 12" is a round badge and has sparkle wrap... If the glass is thicker is it going to be even harder getting heads on it?
Kinda upset i missed a deal on a round badge 14*14 .. but this 14*10 has NEVER sounded bad..And is WAY easier to tune than all the gretsch 14*14 I ever had
