Value of an 18" floor tom Last viewed: 3 days ago

Posts: 20 Threads: 9

I have an older ,early 70's? Gretsch 18" FT. Kind of an odd size. Is it worth anything or should I turn it into a bop kit kick?

What kind of tag inside and is it a 4 leg or 3.?

Maybe a pic would give more info..

Also I've used a Flr tom converter kit to use my 18 Flr tom as a kick..

That way I never had to change anything on it..(hoops,etc)..

I wouldn't drill any of my stuff. It's a stop sign badge, paper tag etc. It was a dark cherry finish but it is faded, needs to be refinished on the outside.
