[COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="5"][SIZE="4"]Vintage 1964 Silver Sparkle Gretsch Round Badge Drum Kit[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR],
(Via discussion through this & other forums it is believed, but not confirmed, that the 24" Bass Drum is actually from the 1950's).
I am the second owner of this Gretsch Kit and have owned them since the early 1970's.
The Kit includes the following: 1) 12"x8" Rack Tom, model #4415, (missing serial # sticker), 2) 13"x9" Rack Tom model #4416, serial # 21018,
3) 16"x16" Floor Tom, model #4418, serial #82969 & 4) a rare 24"x14" Bass Drum, (missing the model and serial #). All of the Toms are 6 ply while the Bass Drum is 3 ply.
All Drums have the original round brass Gretsch Badge and all Toms have the silver interiors. The bass drum does NOT have a silver interior.
Imperfections include the following: 1) the Bass Drum & Floor Tom have some writing made w/magic marker on the inside shells, 2) the Bass Drum & Floor Tom both have some minor deterioration and separation at the seams, 3) the Rack Toms were drilled to fit Tama hardware thus the four holes showing are from the original Gretsch hardware, (which are no longer in my possession), {the original hardware will cover the 2 Tama holes}), 4) the Bass Drum's wooden rims, (black), are not original, (originals, {black & silver}, were warped and thus replaced), 5) the felt muffler pad for the Bass Drum is missing although original hardware is still installed, 6) the 12" Rack Tom is missing the knob for the bottom muffler, (original hardware is installed), 7) the 13" Rack Tom is missing the bottom muffler and assembly and 8) one of the wing nuts for the Floor Tom legs was stripped thus this was tapped and replaced with a larger nut.
Also Included: 1) A set of hard cases, 2) one Tama Heavy Duty Rack Tom Stand and 3) one Bass Drum mount cymbal arm/holder. (All pictured).
All in all, these Gretsch Drums are in very good condition considering they are over 45 years old, (bass drum possibly over 50 years old if you can find a 24" Bass Drum), and the sound is unquestionably still that GREAT GRETSH SOUND!!! Thunderous Bass Drum and rocking Toms!!!! [SIZE="4"]
