This two year-old beautiful Gretsch broadcaster kit has the sound of a vintage drum set but with rounder shelves, truer edges, and modern hardware. So if you're been wanting to buy a vintage kit, but want to skip all the hassles, these Gretsch Broadcaster kits are your ticket.

This listing is for a Gretsch Broadkaster finished in satin purple and sized 14x20", 7x10", 8x13", and 16x16" with a matching 6.5x14" 8-lug snare drum - available without snare drum in another reverb listing. This set presents beautifully but if you go in real close you will note that the kit has some notable cosmetic wear, making this set even further discounted The 7x10" has a pea-sized gouge from snare rub, the 16x16" has a very subtle scuff on finish about the size of a playing card, and the 14x20" has a small scratch in its batter side bass drum hoop and wee surface scratch on the side of shell by bd spur.

The 10" tom is outfitted with direct-to-shell mounting bracket. The 13" has the stock gretsch rims mount. Should you want to add the direct to mounting bracket onto the shell of the 13 inch Tom, they sell this bracket for $27 on a reverb listing. A double tom mount post is included with this set.

Here is a few words from Gretsch on their Broadkaster line:

"From the 1920s through the 1950s, the Gretsch flagship drum set was the legendary Broadkaster Series. It featured a thin, three-ply shell and produced what was to be, “That Great Gretsch Sound.” Today, in the Gretsch Drum Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, with the help of advanced drum-making techniques, the Broadkaster has returned, bringing with it all of sonic brilliance of its namesake.

Broadkaster shells are made with a North American maple/poplar/maple formula. Each shell includes an interior-ply scarf joint that supplies added structural integrity to thin, musical shells. Like all USA-made Gretsch drums, shell interiors are finished with classic Gretsch Silver Sealer. The shell is hand finished with the exclusive reverse roundover bearing edge, which allows greater surface contact between the bearing edge and drumhead. The result is tone that is incredibly deep and warm."
