Pre eBay sale on this great Gretsch RB Kit.

The drums are in good shape.. No modifications - original wrap - all a original matching set. The hardware is rusty and the whole kit could use a good cleaning.

I have replaced the missing bottom 14" hoop on the floor tom. The drums remain in there original condition with seems needing to be glued back. Majority of the heads are also original as well. I'll have a very detailed description of each drum coming shortly. This is also the pre-cleaning sale. I have a couple of projects i need to get to so if i hang on to these long enough, I'll end up cleaning them and reconsider selling them.

Thinking $2800 OBO

Enjoy the pix!

**** UPDATE - Description.

A stunning Gretsch 1960s Round Badge (PROGRESSIVE JAZZ) Kit. The Prog Jazz kits consist of a 20x16, 14x14, 12x8 and this kit has the matching 14x5 snare. These drum remain in the original condition from which they were obtained from the original owner. All the wrap on each drum matches perfect. There is no fade on this kit! They have no been cleaned at all.. so with a nice little bath, the sparkle will pop! All of the hardware has aged and some areas show rust. This would clean up mighty nice. The hoops are mostly rust free. The rail mount shows the worst of the kit. The bottom hoop of the 14" floor tom was missing.. so i have replaced it with an era correct die cast gretsch hoop. The tension rods are gibraltar. This is the only non-original part on the kit!! The drums also include an L cymbal arm.

Here is a break down on each individual drum.

12x8

Great condition with no cracks and original heads. All original hardware showing some aging. Will clean up nice.

14x14

The floor is in great condition. Like mentioned before, the bottom hoop was not present with the kit, so a replacement era correct gretsch die cast hoop has been put on. The legs have some rust but the shell is in great structural condition. The corners of the wrap have small sections missing.. but this is very common amongst gretsch drums.. due to the slightly larger shell dimensions.

20x16

The bass drum is very nice. The wrap and shell are in great condition. The hardware has aged like the rest of the hardware on the kit. The worst case being the rail mount. The drum has the ORIGINAL heads on front and back!!! The hoops are super clean for never having had the black paint refinished. They each have a small section (1-2 inches) of wrap missing on the bottom. VERY CLEAN otherwise! The corners of the wrap have small sections missing.. but this is very common amongst gretsch drums.. due to the slightly larger shell dimensions.

14x5

The snare drum is in great condition. The snares are original as well as ALL of the hardware with the exception of the throw off arm on the microsensitive strainer. I this this may have been an older repro of the arm. The strainer is original.. just not the arm.
