Help with this Gretsch Kit

Posts: 226 Threads: 113

Hey Guys,

I recently picked up a Gretsch drum kit. It has a WMP finish. The WMP wrap on 12" & 13" toms were damaged so bad that I took all the hardware off. The 22"x14" Bass drum (Model #4415, Serial #15192) is in very good condition. The only problem with it is the seams at the bottom have lifted and needs to be reglued. Also, the WMP strip on the metal rim also needs to be reglued. The floor tom (Model #4415, Serial #15133) is in nice condition. The wrap on the floor has a tiny split that is hardly noticeable. Both drums have silver paint and paper tags on the inside. Both the floor and bass drum have the first edtion stop sign badge. Hardware on both are in great condition with very minimal pitting and scratches. I really don't know what to do with these drums. I'm thinking about selling the bass and floor, but what you think they would be worth without the toms. Any ideas or info?

Nice drums. No idea on the price, but please take those Evans Hydraulic heads off ASAP. Hydraulic heads on a Gretsch kit... some people... :)

OK, well since I can't get anyone to give me respond with some kind of value on these drums, I think I will put them on E-bay at a "Buy It Now" price of $200. Thanks

They will sell for cheap in my opinion.

I think photos of the interiors and the issues mentioned would help with value.

Also, just go to Ebay and search completed sales for 16" and 22" Gretsh Bass Drums. See what has sold recently.

Is the finish original to these drums? Do you know?

Are you including the 12 and 13 toms in that 200.00 price? I would be all over it.
