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.

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.Kiss

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.

hmm nah. what have you there; a Gretsch set with entirely Slingerland lugs? (on) Bass, small tom (13) and (16) floor?

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.
