Need help dating Gretsch snare

Posts: 118 Threads: 39

Hi all,

I am trying to pin down a date for my round badge "Progressive" snare drum.

Here are the details - All original, 4 1/4 inches, 6 ply, gray interior paint, no sticker, die-cast hoops, 4-point snare adjustment, and I think this is the Micro-sensitive strainer. From what I have read, it seems to date to the early 1960's, is this correct? Is this the "Max Roach" model? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Here are some of the Gretsch catalog snare drum pages

If you visit the Gretsch section on the main web site you will also find some timeline information and finish information.

Part of the fun is in the research, so your answer is close at hand, but I think you already know...Yes Sir
