9 years agoNew Score * 1979/80 Gretsch Kit
OK! Now you're talkin'! I don't like a tom on a snare stand either and I'm not a fan of the 22,12,16 config. The 13 looks great....we're used to seein...

9 years agoJust how rare and unusual is this Rogers kit?
Rare and unusual because I just don't see these sizes, with this wrap, in this configuration around anymore. Most of these kits that have survived cam...
9 years agoQuick Supraphonic Question-Should I Buy?
I think that is a good price for a Supra. Most of them have varying degrees of flaking which will, in no way, effect the sound or versatility of proba...
9 years agoMounting toms (Rogers, etc.)
I agree with K.O. about the swivo system. It was a conversion that was widely used and acceptable in the sixties and early seventies by Gretsch and Lu...
