Gretsch bop kit ground up 18" Round badge

Dude! Don't take it personal. It just seems nonsensical, as well as, redundant, to take apart something that is original, just to use the parts to try to make something that is non-original, appear original. All you end up with are more non-original items.

You asked for opinions and that is mine. Maybe you should go buy one of those $10,000.00 sets and all will be well in the world.

Nothing personal just drums lol!! Well I am picky and I want to have a matching kit. I had to sell of drums I really enjoyed...including one played by Benny Greb...to finish up this project. I promise you can I sell the tom that I wrap for what I paid for it when it comes time to move it on.

Remember a lot of you said if I re wrapped my first Gretsch kit I would kill the value. Well I sold it for 4 times what I paid for it.

On another note how many of you out there had to spend time in the Infantry in combat? You would likely understand why I am rather direct at times.

BACK ON TOPIC!!

I am needing to paint the bass drum hoops. Precision drum did an amazing job on these guys and they sound good just giving them a tap.

Damn that rack tom shakes a lot even with love taps. That thing would last five minutes with me hit`n it.

I hope you can get used to that Manny, Cuz I certainly couldn`t. That eight grand kit would go right out the door into rush hour traffic.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!
