Steve Maxwelldiscusses a great vintage Gretsch set available in his Illinois store. See it on our website here: http://www.maxwelldrums.com/gretsch-sparkle-drum-p-5925.html
Here are the details: In our Chicagoland store in Naperville, IL. This is a very cool Gretsch kit. 60s era 6 ply set. 8x12, 8x12, 16x16, 14x20, 5.5x14. Very nice, strong color and good chrome. The two 12 toms easily tune up to different intervals and sound great. Almost new Remo coatded Emperor heads on the toms and SD. BD has Gretsch logo resonant head and Aquarian American Vintage batter since the Remo is too tight on the batter side. Ludwig tom holde rbase plate fits into the original Gretsch holes. Tom holder is all there and works fine. Badge on the right side 12 is upside down but back then they made all the toms as left side toms so this is not unusual. One small scratch on the right side 12 which is in the photos but so small that it is hard to see. SD looks great and sounds great and the Microsensitive strainer works great. Fantastic great Gretsch sound and a great price at $2750.
