Evening guys and gals.
Just purchased an old 50s gretsch kit on craigslist. I don't know much about the older gretsch stuff so I was hoping some of the experts could shine some light.
Have a 4x14 WMP snare, heavily yellowed. 3 ply shell.
However the silver interior looks very sloppy on the bttom edge.
Wasn't sure if this was original.
The drum is in round but there is some minor ply seperation on the top and bottom as seen in the photos. Not sure if this is a death sentence for an old drum like this.
Micro sensitive works, but is pretty beat, bottom hoop and wires non original.
Thanks in advance for the help. If it cleans up nice it will be making the trip with me to the chicago drum show with a few other gems Ive been saving.
