Hi all, Anyone one looking to part with PAIRS of die cast hoops in 10-12-14-16? Chrome finish only. Pearl Mastercast or Yamaha aluminum preferred. Thanks

American vintage from Aquarian fit my Gretsch’s perfectly.

Yamaha MCA kit…always

Hi all, Trying to get a sense of current value for my Gretsch USA Bop kit. I bought them in 1996 from the widow of a well-to-do hobbyist player who said they never left their living room. He passed and she was unsure when he purchased them (had a ton of gear) but they’re from the mid 80’s...

What a bummer…sorry that happened.

I’ve owned Zildjian, Bosphorus & Agop. Agop Sig 22” is my fav…the darkest and most well-balanced tonally.

Add a 14x20 to your Canopus setup or 12-14-20 would be my suggestions. Super versatile…

…as in USA Custom with the broadkaster gun metal finish only?

The five I wore out were: 1. AC/DC - Back in Black 2. Sting - Ten Summoners Tales 3. Bill Withers - Still Bill 4. Ahmad Jamal Trio - Live at the Pershing & Spotlight Club 5. Bill Evans Trio - Explorations

The wider the angle, the better…in my experience. Dremels work great for cutting and smoothing the area.

Anyone selling…bop sizes and/or 16x16 and/or14x20? Grey Oyster Brooklyn only…thanks.

What sizes and kind of music do you enjoy playing?

Currently own a Gretsch USA Bronze 5x14. Love it. Darker than the brass and not quite as dry as aluminum. The Die-Cast really focus the overtones. Owned a Mapex Phosphor Bronze back in the day that was incredible as well for the same reasons. It was 1/2” deeper and had triple flanged hoops. I...

Can anyone recommend a member/company who professionally matches lacquer drum finishes? I’m in the Northeast part of US. Thanks all.

I use a guitar stand and have it next to my kit…works great!!! Keeps them off the ground and fits as small as 13” hats.

Gretsch USA 12-14-18 in MBP Circa 1980’s

The mindset that goes along with “cg/pr” bothers me more than the phrases themselves. With the shortage of opportunities to reach folks via live music, I wish those who weren’t planning on trying to really make music, regardless of the skill level of members in the band they are playing with...

One of the greatest pieces in the history of music!

Anyone have a line on this clearly hard to find size/finish? Thanks

When I lived out in Los Angeles years ago, I spoke to them about this and they actually made me AV size heads with TC film. It was a game changer for me. They can be special ordered this way through dealers.
