spectacular, Vivid & Lustrous! There are no major marks or abrasions anywhere
and all the seams are nice an tight. The finish on the floor tom has had approx. 1/4" in depth
removed from the seam with the shell to allow all heads including Remo to fit well on the drum
As you can see in the pictures it cannot be noticed with the hoop on the drum
The drum shells that make up this set are the last of the classic Brooklyn made Gretsch Shells.
These were made just at the end of the seemingly continual transition period of the late 50's where both
shells and hardware saw continual redesigns
The shells are perfect there are no extra holes and the bearing edges are factory original
and in excellent condition
The Chrome Plating is also in superb condition and by looking at the drum set you
would never guess that it was almost 50 years old!
The bass drum hoops are original and have complete factory inlays with no curling and they are nice
and tight in the hoops The hoops are solid and not gummy and flexible.
The lacquer finish has had some touch ups but look great
The set sounds full and melodious! Just the Sound Your looking for!
