gretsch

Alright, fellow drummer here chasing a sound in his head - I have a beautiful Classic Maple with all roundover edges. It is a killer kit. No complaints....but I have really be enthralled by Gretsch as of late. My first real kit was a Gretsch Renown. I got complements on its sound almost...

I have a pretty funny request (not a “wtb” post…yet). I have been on the hunt to try the Gretsch Broadkaster series out. I haven’t been able to find a kit in the eastern Carolina (north or south) area so I figured I would reach out to the community. I do feel funny asking but does anyone have a...

I have been happily using a Gretsch snare model 4157 for some years, but the other day, when I was adjusting the snare strainer, I think part of the lightning throw-off broke. Gigs approaching, and I don't want to drill new holes into this thing and retrofit a different strainer, so I was...

Hi all - I'm relisting my Tama Star Walnut Mint Green Mist kit. I was having issues with my prior email so had to get a new account. Anyway, I've really priced it to move, the only problem is it is local pickup in Northern Virginia. Here is the kit. I'm the original owner, I bought it new so...

An amazing snare with that great Gretsch sound! I bought this a few weeks back to just experiment with. I am new to Gretsch snares and man, was I blown away by how good this snare sounded! This snare is a 6 ply (I believe a combination of maple and gum). The Diecast hoops have two areas that...

I have two snare drums: A 6.5"x14" hammered Ludwig black beauty with triple flanged hoops, and a 5.5"x14" Gretsch Brooklyn maple/poplar snare with 302 hoops. Both have 10 lugs. I recently decided to order myself a single Ludwig die cast batter side hoop, and will be receiving it soon. This...

I was a little skeptical at first too, but man they sound amazing, its crazy when you balance sound with price, i would think the pdp concept is a dw equivalent, thinking of getting some, cheers, here is the sound of my kit, sorry for phone quality, but i think they translate good enough

Hi all, I never really thought twice about this, and just a quick search I didn't see this covered anywhere. On the Ludwig site - https://www.ludwig-drums.com/en-us/ludwig/serial-guide It shows: 1969 765XXX – 834XXX 1970 (Out of sequence, unnumbered) 1971 835XXX – 895XXX 1972 896XXX –...

Hey y'all, I have a (guessing) late '80's early '90's 8 x 12 Gretsch tom I'm looking to pass on. I got it under the impression that it was Red Rosewood when I bought it, and when I received it I found that it wasn't. I'm not sure what color category it falls under, but I'm thinking it is a...

I picked up this lovely 70's Gretsch 13/16/22 kit the other week and have not stopped playing it since. These shells sound excellent! It has some really cool fade to it that I think adds to the character.

Good setup here. In great condition, hardly used. I slop-chopped the hihat stand's top tube to lower it by about an inch, but it's still plenty tall. Asking $199 plus shipping.

A couple months ago, I acquired an older Gretsch kit from a mutual friend who needed to downsize. I was the beneficiary of that need and was able to make an arrangement with said friend to take the kit off his hands for a deep discount. It had spent about 15 years in cases and when we started...

Picked up a set of Brooklyn's from Maxwell's in IL this weekend and wow. I am have always been a die-hard Ludwig guy but these sound incredible! I threw some Vintage Ambassadors on the batters and these drums have such a great body and warmth to them while also maintaining great projection. A...
