Beautiful kit. Love the Rogers fittings and the wayward badge only adds to their charm. Sweet!

Yes. They were in the store a total of 10 hours. $1200 for the kit which I thought was a great price.

Nice to see some other Bay Area drummers here. I had one of their ride cymbals for a while. Wish I never sold it.

What kind of tom tom mounts was Gretsch shipping in those days that a Set-O-Matic would be considered such a big improvement?

I just read an old article about Frank Ippolito and how he supposedly ordered all of his kits without mounts so that he could outfit them with whatever the customer wanted. Maybe these drums are from his store.

Nope, this kit was a Bay Area, CA kit from the start. Also it's a Swivo-matic not a Set-O-Matic, that's a huge difference!!!
