[COLOR="DarkRed"]...well, you could have always gone with the old, trusty
"does a virgin bass drum sound better than one with mount hardware ?"
...that's always a good topic for a circuitous, neverending, never resolving thread....[/COLOR]

If the Gretsch kit is a Catalina or Renown, then that series is also made overseas. The USA Gretsch's will (should) have a tag on the inside saying they are American made (check this site for the Gretsch badges). The Tama kit is made overseas, too.
