Gretsch Drum Set Round Badge Midnight Blue Early 1960's 20/13/16
Gretsch Round Badge drum set. 14×20 Bass drum: Original finish is lifted at the seems, and minor cracks. Finish has been marred in locations from someone painting the interior blue. Interior is refinished in silver (check the pictures). Badge is being held by a screw. Brand new hoops from Precision Drum company. Hoops are protected with black felt squares, and not even pedal rash yet. New interior screws holding lugs in place. Logo head is Remo Ambassador. Batter head is a white Remo Emperor. The interior paper tag was present on this drum, but did not make it through the refinishing process. I have a picture on file of the paper tag…. I have a reproduction with the exact serial number. Legs are aluminum posts. The tom mount was moved from the left to right. So, there are 2 extra holes. These are filled with chrome bolts. Tom mount and diamond bracket are fully functional. Reproduction Pratt muffler is installed, and works as it should. For this, you will only need to remove 2 bolts, replace the tom/clip mount, and screw back into place. 9×13 Tom: Paper tag intact. Bottom hoop is a Slingerland stick saver. Mufflers are new reproductions, and both are present. There are 2 holes under the tom mount that can not be seen from the outside. New Pearl lugs screws (I have the originals, and will include them). Remo emperor top/Ambassador bottom heads (relatively new). Bearing edges are smooth, this drum made it through the 1970’s with it’s heads on. Seam is lifting on finish, but the finish is original. Some interior screws may not be original. 16×16 Floor Tom: 2 Reproduction mufflers. Finish is bubbling and split at the seams. The bottom bearing edge has an interior gouge (see picture). This doesn’t interfere with tuning. Not a big deal, but it’s kinda tricky to do (concerning the spring). You’ll need to compress the spring, for easier install. I’m guessing any drummer (that wants this set) will know this….. Or will even do without the muffler. The floor tom legs are modern, but come with Pearl memory locks. Modern drum heads fit very tight on this set, but after seating, tune up as well as the best Gretsch ever made. Overall a wonderful set. I’m just thinning out the herd. This set would probably sound best with single ply heads. This set is ready to play….. Right out of the box. SNARE DRUM STAND IS NOT INCLUDED.
