A beautiful all original mid-1950s Gretsch RB 18/12/14 bop kit in WMP with matching 4x14 Max Roach snare drum.

The 18" bass drum has sound rings while both toms and snare drum don't... which is much different from the 1960s 6ply RB kits.

This 50s RB kit has no extra holes or mods. All the drums have stick chopper rims & calfskin heads minus the FT heads. All drums have painted siliver interiors with no papertags and all drums are 3ply shells.

The WMP wrap is very evenly faded across each 60+ year old drum.

Note the rail mount & cymbal mount location and the Gladstone style floor tom leg mounts... they are all true physical characteristics of a mid-1950s Broadcaster kit made pre 1956.
