I have 3 gretsch Kits Catalina club 26-13-18 lookin to add a 16 in green sparkle, a catalina birch hollywood kit, and a blackhawk fusion kit. They all sound great with good heads on em. I rent em to Miller Pro Audio all the time.

Its crazy, but I get around $300 to rent a kit. A gig around here might pay $75-$100 to a drummer. All my vintage kits are cool, but the hardware on vintage kits pretty much sucks for gigging....I also have 2 tama, and a ludwig cs accent elite kit i rent. My 6 Vintage Luddy kits, 60's Sonar teardrop kit, and rogers script logo kit look cool and are worth what thier worth, But I make money off of these cheap kits... Go Figure lol
