I picked up a Gretsch Round Badge last in what I believe is is Red Glass Glitter.
20, 12, 14 with matching 14x5 snare drum. The wrap looks original with strong color throughout. I do need to remove some tape residue. The reso hoop is split in two but I should be able to glue it back together. The inlay on the reso side needs to be put back on. I noticed that the inlay on both hoops is not quite as vibrant as the rest of the wrap on the drums. The bass tom mount is a lttle rusty, but the rest of the chrome is all in pretty nice shape.
Orange paper tags and mufflers are all present in good shape, but I haven't checked inside the bass to confirm their condition and presence yet.
The bass reso head is super dirty, as is the batter which may be original. I am hoping I can clean up the reso a bit.
I need to source a couple of missing odds and ends to get it back on the road:
2 small screws that hold the backing plate that goes under the strainer to hold the snare wire string in place.
2 bass spur spikes and 2 wing nuts to hold the spikes in place.
8 floor tom tension rods. I haven't measured the ones I have, but they appear to be longer rods maybe 3" or so based on where the lug placement
2 bass drum claws
