Gretsch Drop G Kit

Posts: 7 Threads: 2

Hi there,

I haven't been on here for a few weeks but now I have some pictures of my 'Drop G' 1980's Maple Gretsch kit which comprises of 22" Bass Drum, 3 toms 10", 12" and 13" (new skins just put on the toms), a 16" Floor Tom and 14" Snare. All the hardware is genuine except for a free standing Pearl stand for 10" tom.

All serial numbers are on the inside of the toms, it's been a fantastic kit for the 15 years I've owned it!

Can anybody give me an indication of what this might be worth? All help is greatly appreciated D' Drummer

I love your kit. I have always wanted a Gretsch kit in maple finish from that era. IMO those are the best drums from that period. Best is my word but they are definitely my favorite that I have ever played. One day I will get my kit in that color with 8/10/12/13/14/16/22. I can dream...
