always looking to buy Gretsch round badge drums for restoration

Posts: 1075 Threads: 475

hey yall,

i am always looking for Round Badge drums, project singles, snares, and kits.

that said, i can not afford hi end fully restored kits so i prefer to do the resto myself, and we all know how ridiculous the cost of gretsch parts to can be to finish a project, so if u have some round badge drums that need work and are willing to sell them to me for restoration, i would love to buy!

i love bringing them back to life, enjoy some pics below of past projects ive done, and let me know if you have anything!

thanks

Beautiful work, my friend! Bowing

I love seeing finished projects like these. I want to start attempting to restore drums, but I just don't have the time/tools. :(

I have a round badge project kit and I'm thinking about quitting and selling. I guess I need to be talked into selling I'm not convinced but it's taking longer and I'm not sure If I'm going to end up with the result I want.

So I have a 50's BDP 22" BD, and a 13" matching tom, a 16" duco RB and a 16" MIJ BDP that matches the bass drum. The bass has no badge and is missing the front hoop, claws, and t rods, I found 2 matching hoops on-line but still need claws and t's.

1958 Gretsch Kit
1966 Kent Kit
1969 Ludwig Standard Kit
1970 Rogers Power Tone Kit
1970's Ludwig Vistalite Kit
1994 Yamaha Maple Custom
2010 Yamaha Maple Custom
28 assorted snares (including some real crap)
and 1 really nice K Zildjian Istanbul
