1958 Gretsch? Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Posts: 5 Threads: 2

I would like a general estimate of value for my 1958 Gretsch

“Name-Band Outfit” drum set as listed in the 1954 Gretsch catalog. The set is mother of pearl and includes snare, tom-tom, floor

tom, and bass drum. In addition I have 2 Gretsch timbale drums. The set includes Zildjian crash and high hat cymbals with Slingerland stands.

The drums are in good condition. From 1959 to 1962 I played with a

girls group called the “Coquettes”. We played throughout the U.S.

and Canada but primarily in Reno and Lake Tahoe. I later played

in Atlanta dance bands where I am a member of the Atlanta

Musician’s Union.

Where would be a good place to sell these drums? Would a dealer

take them on consignment?

Photographs would help. Gretsch drums from that era are very collectible and sell easily. You could sell them here in about five minutes probably!

I have pictures but can't get them on site.

File size may be too large. If you have the pics on your computer can you right click on one and get a "re-size" option? If so, choose small or medium and try posting again.

Believe it or else!

If you want to sell, I`d start with $3,400 and hear all the noise. You have zero to add and it`s all there. Maybe spur caps but those drums are sought after. Yours appears to be collector grade.

Everyone has a different taste for cymbals.

Is it just the photo, or is that top tone control on the small tom bent? Should be an easy fix if it is.

That's a sweet kit.
