Gretsch Midnight Blue Pearl 18/12/14

Posts: 282 Threads: 80

1962 Left Handed, Midnight Blue Pearl, 18,12,14 w/snare. The kit was ordered with a virgin BD and the local drum shop added the left handed tom rail. (notice the lack of Pratt Muffler) Killing little kit.

Keep the heads...they add character. Just think if they could talk...looks like they've been around for a while.

Maybe I used the wrong emoticon. My head comment was meant as a joke.

MB was one of Gretsch's most common,if not THEE most common color for them in 20,12,14 / 22,13,16,but I don't hear of too many 18" kits in that wrap for some reason.

Hello,

The original owner said he bought the kit with a 20" but after a few months he swapped it for an 18". The kit sounds great! the dirty heads sound surprisingly good :) Thanks for all the comments.

I'm salivating. MB is a beautiful color for Gretsch which probably explains why it is a common color.
