When did Gretsch start using steel bass hoops?

Loading...

eBay listing (291229323643) is for a purported 22" pair of 60's Gretsch steel bass drum hoops. This can't be right can it? Beyond being overpriced, I've never heard of 60's steel hoops from that era by Gretsch. Has anyone else?

The metal hoops came in around the same time as the switch to the Stop Sign Badge which was AROUND 1970ish (does anyone really know for sure?). Now possibly some metal hoops got used in late 69 which could qualify them as 60's but for all practical purposes they were an early 70's thing.
