1974 Stop Sign Set

Loading...

I realize these are not vintage. I thought you might enjoy checking them out anyway. They are not for sale, but I would like to know what they might be worth.

I bought them in about 1974 from Gus Zoppi Music in my old neighborhood on Eight Mile Road in Detroit., never modified anything. They still sound great. I bought the color after seeing Tony’s of course and also Jan Hammer had some on “Like Children” with Jerry Goodman.

Nitron “Tony Williams” Yellow Lacquer. “Stop Sign” octagon Badge with Gretsch “T”, “That Great Gretsch Sound”. All drums factory original with no alterations, original die cast hoops, lugs, tensioners, and washers. Painted factory silver/gray inside. Black and white and orange factory labels inside with model number in green ink, serial number printed

All toms with double factory tone controls.

Nice drums! Thanks for sharing! yellow isn't my color, but I KNOW they sound great. Wow, they look to be in great shape, too. -Nothing like a well-kept set of drums!

By the way, I actually consider 1974 to be "vintage" when it comes to drums and especially drum sets.
