If I can one day find a 20" Gretsch calf head from the 60's with a good hole cut in it for a decent price, I'll try that. Otherwise I'm after sound, not looks with the heads.

Re: Gretsch Orphan 60's Progressive Jazz Green Sparkle
Paint the front head and stick a sticker on it!
This is an awesome little kit!

And I too love the Super Kick/Regulator combo and wish they had a coated white Regulator. Really don't like the extra large logo they have gone with now either. Nice job! |

The green sparkle is way brighter in person actually, it always came out darker through a camera lens for some reason.

Re: Gretsch Orphan 60's Progressive Jazz Green Sparkle
About painting a head (a drumhead I mean), I've had very good results with a high quality oil-paint. Good oil paint has a very high grade of pigments, so you won't have to use a thick layer (affecting the sound too much). You have to thin the paint with white spirit. Apply with a brush and than use a sponge and tab it, to make a nice even looking coat.
Take titanium-white, NOT zinc-white. You could use a tip of brown to mix it a little creamy. These bass heads are all done like that: http://vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=52163 http://vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=50393 http://vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=48248 http://vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=48266
