Re: GRETSCH DRUMS

Well my avatar says it all about Gretsch, and we'll expect photos when they are arrive. Let me say nicely that typing in all caps will bother some people on this forum. Just a thought.
Remember photos on receipt please. Thanks and welcome.
 
Re: GRETSCH DRUMS

sorry no more all caps for me .but what about my Gretsch drums guys ? what do you think?
 
Re: GRETSCH DRUMS

I'm more impressed with mine everyday. Sound good in a wide range of tuning, and very easy to tune at that. Two words, Remo Ambassidors.
 
Re: GRETSCH DRUMS

Someone stole my second bass drum.. I don't have a double bass, sorry.
 
Re: GRETSCH DRUMS

Some Gretsch pictures. Cindy Blackman + Tony Williams, on drums.

All the Best,

I have a poster (from drumbum.com) of Tony and that yellow kit in an 80's Gretsch ad. (discontinued)

Re: GRETSCH DRUMS

Why did I think Tony was playing a big yellow DW kit in that picture?

Anyway, I'm interested in buying into the Gretsch Renown series. We'll see if it happens.
