Here are some details:
Bass Drum 18" diameter x 14" depth: 

  • Chrome lugs have some light pitting and light scratches.
  • T-rods and claws have some light pitting and light scratches. Some T's have some rub wear/chrome loss to the middle top.
  • Hoops have some claw indentations, marks and small areas of missing paint. Inlays have short gaps where the two sections meet end-to-end.
  • Champagne sparkle wrap in nice condition with some faint scuffs and faint discoloration near the seams. Very slight fade to the color, still very vibrant and reflective.
  • Edges in nice condition.
  • Pratt muffler intact and functioning.
  • Rubber feet on the spurs are dried and cracked.
  • Heads currently installed are unbranded coated heads that came on the drum, they appear to be a similar age to the drum. They fit slightly snug and tune without difficulty.
  • Rail consolette has some slight play where the rail itself attaches to the bracket. Not unusual for these older Gretsch rails. This does not compromise the integrity or functionality of the tom holder.
  • Tom holder clip itself looks homemade, has a slightly taller spade that inserts into the diamond plate on the rack tom. Functions as it should.

Floor Tom 14" diameter x 14" depth:

  • Chrome lugs have some light pitting and light scratches.
  • Die-cast hoops have some light pitting and light scratches.
  • Champagne sparkle wrap in nice condition. The color has darkened noticeably with age, you can see the difference at the top/bottom where the hoops cover the wrap. There is one very faint scuff to the left of the badge.
  • Edges in nice condition.
  • Mounting screw heads and parts of the internal mufflers have some rust.
  • Mufflers function.
  • Top head is original Gretsch, bottom head is Remo Ambassador 'Classic Fit' clear. Heads fit on nicely, regular heads will fit on snugly.
  • Tunes easily and sounds great.

  • Chrome lugs have some light pitting and light scratches.
  • Die-cast hoops have some light pitting and light scratches.
  • Champagne sparkle wrap in nice condition with some faint scuffs and faint discoloration near the seams. Very slight fade to the color, still very vibrant and reflective.
