Here is a 60's Aqua Satin Flame Gretsch Round Badge kit! This is the Progressive Jazz outfit; 14x20", 8x12", 14x14", and 5.5x14". Satin flame finishes are notorious for scratching and “spider-webbing”, and this set exhibits some of that, but much less than usual, but with some heavier cosmetic wear at the floor tom seam, but this is the opposite side of the badge panel so it faces the player. Pics tell the story! We are including the original short spade and diamond plate for the rail consolette and 8x12", but we have installed our repro short spade and diamond bracket for better functionality. Classic "Great Gretsch Sound!" Steve’s notes: This is HANDS DOWN, one of the best Gretsch Progressive Jazz kits I have played. These shells sing! Beautifully aged over the past 55 years, like a fine wine! Check out the video and you will see what I mean. This set is THE sound you want for a jazz kit, and these aren’t even new heads. They are the heads that were on the set. Absolutely a killer kit. I only spent literally 5 minutes tuning it and it sounds incredible, so you can dial this in to suit your style and have a wonderful kit for the next 50 years!
And, as we all know, Gretsch snare drums from this era were generally boxy sounding. 8 out of 10 of them just aren’t what a player would ideally like. BUT, this has to be the best sounding Gretsch RB snare I have played. This drum is sensitive and articulate across the entire head and across the entire volume spectrum. Check out the video. This set is THE sound you want for a jazz kit, and these aren’t even new heads. They are the heads that were on the set. Absolutely a killer kit.
