1960’s Gretsch Round Badge ‘Bop’ kit 12/14/18 -NOT conversion , THE REAL DEAL

Loading...

Here is the nicest drum set I’ve ever had for sale.

vintage 1960’s Gretsch Round Badge progressive jazz ‘Bop’ outfit

8” x 12” rack tom

14” x 14” floor tom

14” x 18” bass drum (NOT a conversion, the real deal!)

14” x 5” COB # 4160 snare drum w/ lightning throw

- NO EXTRA HOLES ON ANY OF THE DRUMS

- Chrome was painstakingly cleaned with a 24 hour soak, heat dried and chrome polished

*all chrome is SUPER clean*

gorgeous black gloss finish with silver sparkle glass glitter bass drum inlays, looks AMAZING.

(by Gary and George at Precision Drum in NY)

The Drums sound PHENOMENAL, i have them tuned way up for jazz and they just sing.

this is my first legit 18” bass drum and man… its like getting your first tattoo, you have an idea what to expect but you never really know until you get it. absolutely amazing. so musical and the kit is so much fun to play.

and obviously they are just breath taking visually. my wife caught me just staring at them last night and yelled at me to come to bed lol

this is a personal favorite of mine and in my opinion the nicest set ive ever had.

after seeing black bop kits by Cherie Willoughby and Bill Maley years ago i was hooked. it took a long time to make this a reality but was well worth the wait.

take her home for $7,999.99 + shipping.

please PM me with any questions/interest

thanks!

Lovely kit!

Did these come together as a set or was it pieced together? What were the drums finished in prior to being wrapped?

hi, all 4 drums were purchased together from the same owner, the floor tom and bass drum and snare came from the same kit.

previous owner stated the drums were originally finished in aqua blue satin flame, that wrap was removed after being scuffed up and a home made walnut stain was applied.
