It's part Gretsch and part Slingerland, may I present, the Gretscherland!
I was somewhat concerned that someone had put Gretsch hardware on a non-Gretsch shell because the interior is painted white. But, after trying to get the heads off, I can safely say, it's a Gretsch, I practically had to use dynamite. Anyway, did Gretsch ever offer a shell with the interior painted white? |

Looks great! Never seen a Gretsch with factory painted interior. I’d just leave it alone. Stripping it would be a huge mess. Wouldn’t want to risk messing up the wrap.

Thanks, I have no intention of messing with the interior, just curious if it's factory.

Yeah, I'd leave the interior alone. Who cares, right? I once added a Gretsch floor tom to a Slingerland set. The lugs are similar, and nobody knew the difference.

Reminds me of the kind of crazy hodge-podge mix of shells/parts on Walberg & Auge drums!

My experiences with Walberg & Auge drums are consistent. The lugs on all of the drums within a drum set have all been of the same brand. My two current W&A sets have either all Rogers lugs or all Gretsch lugs. The same holds true for the hoops being of the same brand/type within each drum set. The throw-offs and snare butts for both of my drum sets are Rogers mechanisms with a W&A proprietary cover plate. I speculate that perhaps W&A made those strainers for Rogers. Every W&A set I've had the pleasure to own, play, or just look at has metal parts and/or shells from two or three or more major brands incorporated into the finished product. They also have some metal parts that are proprietary to them alone.

May I suggest you start a new thread on your love affair with W&A drums.
![]() Btw, the 12,16 are Slingerland, the 22 is Gretsch. |

I have started threads about Walberg and Auge drums and also contributed to threads about W&A drums that were started by other enthusiasts of the brand. The drums are consistently very well constructed and good sounding.

a million years ago I remember a friend used Slingerland lugs on a gretsch tomtom shell: the Sling lug dropped right in the Gretsch holes |

That's fine, but this thread is not about W&A drums. |
