The Great Gretsch Score of ‘23

 

[GiveMeYourSmallestSticks!]

I had a 20/12/14 kit on that finish back in 2014 - it is one of the coolest wraps .

For sure, as a cappuccino fan I endorse this wrap!

The Great Gretsch Score of ‘23

Ok man, you've been cryptic in alluding to this up until now. We need details to help understand how you scored not one, not two but THREE Gretsch kits in one shot. Congrats!

Good ole Craigslist!

Oh my gosh, picked up a really great set today. One owner square badge kit rosewood finish. Super deal. I guess the fella that sold them wasn’t after a ton of money, and wanted them to stay local, so Revival payed it forward as well. Super glad they are my local shop! Even had the original invoice. Had some heads on it that I never heard of before, but whatever they are it sounds really good, good enough that I can overlook the somewhat eighties sizes. Plus all the drums are virgin, which is a plus for me. Super excited.

Strangely, on the other side of both toms are ancient clear emperors? Kinda left field, but sounds really cool.

Could be an undrilled Gretsch shell in a Pearl free-floater. Does not have to be special order or collaboration. I'd avoid that seller anyway...

You said “that seller” and my first thought was, the women pictures.

And yes. The women pictures indeed.

Could be fishy indeed.

This is the seller previously known as "p00der". Known for stripping vintage drums and selling them as parts etc.

Of the members here that have ever dealt with this woman on eBay.... Have you ever gotten her to come down on an item price or maybe shipping?

Happy to report that Gretsch waiting times seems to have gone down (if I’m not just super lucky) - my Broadkaster kit ordered 3rd of February is now ready and being shipped to the store! Amazing and surprising given the 30-35 week build time initially stated. Production rate seems up!

Congrats to you and great news on the production rate! I ordered a 8x 7 tom from Ridgeland through DCP approx 5 weeks ago and I was told that the order lag time could be up to 17 weeks. Hopefully I'll be lucky like you and get a sooner shipping date! Be sure to post pics of your kit when you are able. Always a thrill to look at a factory fresh Gretsch kit!

Someone one Facebook just posted a video of his Gretsch kit and it sounds fantastic.

Playing mallets on my Gretsch USA Custom at the Sunday improv session. Relatively new to me kit, so first time really hearing it recorded. Just a stereo mic picking up the entire room, but I'm enjoying the sound of these things. Mallets remove the articulation, but the 18" kick has more boom than I ever hear behind the kit.

The alarm sounds like school bells, by Ortet

I love playing my USA customs with mallets. It makes me feel like I’m a pro jazz drummer/timpani player
