I got these from a Gretsch dealer in coastal CA. These are extremely rare Drop G era concert toms in extreme rare sizes. Limited production during that period of 1981. Obvious wear and scratches from use and age. The model number on the 6” tom is hard to read but it may be 4447W consistent of the series. There is a small deeper gouge on the 8” (see photos), next to the lug and above. Part of the 10” tom’s lacquer on four of the lugs are sticky. My thought is that a harsh cleaner was used on the lugs and had a negative chemical reaction on the lacquer, causing it to ”melt/dissolve”. It’s not spreading but definitely caused issues on the finish. No mounts when I got them. I’ve been tracking down the original mounts but haven’t been successful. INDE has the adjustable mounts available. I just had these nested on a display from my old shop. Beautiful pieces.

*** Excess shipping cost will be refunded, when applicable. Only the 8” and 10” could be nested so a bigger box had to be used.

Please look at the photos as they will have the details mentioned above. I tried to capture as much of the imperfections as possible. I strived to present and disclose the current condition of the item but due to the nature of vintage gear, the item is sold as is and no returns. Every gear has been gone through and tested for operation, unless noted otherwise. There may be imperfections and flaws that weren’t found during inspection. Please do not hesitate to ask questions and thank you for looking.

I’ll be listing most of my collection of snares, kits, cymbals, and hardware. if ever you’re interested in the whole lot, I’m more than happy to discuss and provide details.
