Gretsch made just one kind of drum (using shells they subcontracted from Jasper) in various sizes. Like Ludwig the outfit names are just that, marketing names for various combinations of those drums. a 20" bass drum or a 12" tom was the same regardless of what outfit it came with. The bass drums might get some variation as far as mounting hardware or the placement thereof but the underlying drum structure was the same.

I've looked through those catalogs already and it looks like there really was no difference between the different models. The Name Band came in 22-16-13 but with the option for a 20" bd while the Bop came with 20-16-13 with the option of a 20" bd. No other difference noted between the 2. In the Drums A Le Carte section, there is no distinction, they're all just drums available in different sizes, same hardware and everything.The Progressive Jazz came 20-14-12 but with the option of an 18" bd.I wanted to know if I had a Name Band (with the optional 20") or a standard Bop kit. It just looks like 6 of one or 1/2 dozen of another.

I guess it depends on the year then. I was looking at the 1961 catalogue.
