You never know what drums go with another. I have a feeling that my drums would go together; however- if people tried the combo I proposed and it FAILED, I would rather know NOW is all I’se sayin’.
 
55 years I've never read where one drum would or wouldn't go with another.

This is truly breaking new ground
55 years and you still haven’t mastered English grammar or spelling.

(one more) What are the odds anyone seeing or hearing you?

I don't believe or know if anyone has your exact combination;
what era/type of Gretsch, of Premier, of Slingerland.

Going to need more detail for proper analytical analysis.
 
Very little, and I really don’t care. I was asking a question until I was being interrogated over this and being made to feel inferior over my question. I do not try to make anyone feel stupid over a question, as I generally don’t mix brands, but maybe stupid people do that? Just checking… It was just a question.
 
the question has multiple layers
we can only guess at the detail
4) All drums go together
can do what you want without enlisting the world wide web

To be fair, it was a ridiculously open ended question that depends on factors we can't hear and the answer is entirely your preference. A bit hard to give a straight answer to such a curvy question. I guess the most straight forward answer is: try everything you can with it and see if you like it? And let us know!

Personally, I find Gretsch snares have too much of their own voice and if I'm not going for that sound, I use an acrolight or an old Meazzi Hollywood snare with my Gretsch kit. As to the toms? Hey, if they sound good, rock on. If they don't then don't use em. If just one fits, rock just that one. Get weird with it and trust your ear more than what you think you should have in your kit.
