This is a set of Gretsch New Classic drums in Ocean Sparkle Burst. This
hand applied lacquer finish uses Gretsch's exclusive Mixed Sparkle
Technology and was the premium finish option for this line, which has
been discontinued. The sizes are 8x10, 9x12, 16x16, and 18x22.
The New Classic series includes proportionate shells that increase in thickness as shell diameters increase to give a full, balanced tonality across the entire drum set. Classy appointments include vintage styled tube lugs, very low mass "ITS" integrated tom suspension system and 9025-hingedDrum Set Features:
• Gretsch Mixed Sparkle Technology • Gretsch "ITS" tom mount system
• Proportionate Gretsch-formula maple shells • Chambered FT rubber leg tips
• 30-degree bearing edges with slight rounded outside edge
• Silver Sealer interiors • Die-cast hoops
• Low-mass vintage styled tube lugs
• Tom and floor tom leg brackets. Die-cast hoops and Silver Sealer shell interiors are included.
The shells are in perfect condition and perfectly in round while the hardware needs some detailing. The finish on the 12" and 16" toms have some cracks in the finish that are long but difficult to notice unless you're looking carefully with the right light. I tried my best to capture them in the picture. You don't really notice unless carefully inspecting the drums. The tend to spider web out in a few spots. You'd just have to see them to see what I mean. There are ways to repair the finish to normal if you take the time. Also, it was hard to get perfect lighting, some of the pictures make the finish look streaked. It is not. Overall, the finish is pretty good with just a few minor marks on some of the other drums. I shot the pictures from smallest to largest so that you can see the order. I can send more pics upon request.
The chrome hardware is in good shape with my scratches but no real signs of pitting or rust. I gave them a quick cleaning. A detailing of the hardware and new heads will have these in tip top condition. Floor tom legs and 2 tom arms and clamps to secure to another stand are included. At the time of production, these listed for $4685 and would've sold at retail for around $2,800-3,000.
Please full read the description before messaging. More often than not, I get people asking me questions that can be easily answered from the pictures of description. All items will be insured. Shipping is extra outside of the lower 48. I will not ship internationally, so don't ask. I ship within two business days.
