Well this is my first post on here. ive been looking through this forum for a while and enjoy reading everything and learning and im finally getting my first gretsch round badge kit tomorrow. I tour in a band full time so this will be a players kit, also considering the condition. It has added holes, and was already rewraped once. Currently i want to 1. patch the added holes 2. rewrap and redrill original holes 3. replace missing original hardware. I need some good help so any advice/pictures/anything you can give me is very much appreciated. here is what were working with
bass drum, 22x14. currently has a ludwig tom mount, cymbal arm holder was moved slightly, there is 2 sets of holes for the rail not sure which is original, and is missing one of the other cymbal arm mounts, not sure if the pratt muffler is original. ill have pictures below.
rack tom, 13x9. Has a ludwig tom mount added, missing the diamond mount, holes patched. ill patch the ludwig holes and put the old diamond plate back on. the badge is a bass drum badge? it was a large vent. This is odd, not sure if this is a common thing, but i want to patch the hole and put a tacked on badge, the floor tom is also like this
floor tom, 16x16, only thing that is missing is the bottom muffler, and the badge is also wrong like i said above.
i want to refinish this kit in WMP.
here is some pictures!
