OK - a few of you may have seen this drum on eBay recently. It sold for slightly over $100. One head is clear and the other has red spray-paint.
One muffler and the badge & tack are gone. All remaining harware is Gretsch. After I stripped off the green-gray house paint (no wrap under it) and what looked like a white primer coat of paint, I found a dark mahogany outter ply! QUESTIONS: 1. Does anyone know if Gretsch used anything but maple of the plys for their toms? 2. Do you suppose it had a wrap on it, or could the mahonany wood have the finished look? 3. Is it possible this is not a Gretsch shell? Yes, there's a hole that punches thru to the inside of the shell where the tack & badge may have been. Yes, the inside is painted silver over a maple ply. No, there's no paper lable. Yes, the bevel edge is rounded toward the outside of the drum Thanks Last edited by M Stephan; 01-28-2007 at 08:34 PM. |
