I find it interesting that Gretsch switched to the single pole style tom mount even when there was only one mounted tom. For example, 22/13/16 or 20/12/14 style kits. Based on the kit listed in the ad, it's the original 22/13/16 configuration and not a 22/12/13/16. The tom tom mount is on the side that displays the SSB badge to the front. A 22/12/13/16 kit would have the 13" tom mount on the other side, so the badge would be displayed correctly.

That's a sharp kit, good luck with the sale. Currently working on a SSB blue glass glitter kit myself.

This was a 5 pc. originally, the Rock-n-roll outfit I think. A previous owner sold the 12" tom. The badge on the 13" has been inverted so that it sits right when mounted leftside. The tom is actually upside down.

It's a fine single mount - stable and sounds great. But as a double it suffers from the unadjustable 180° opposing mounts. I have the other side too, pictured on top of the FT.

Thanks for the honesty and clarification.

My kit had the diamond base bass drum mount and it's a 20/12/14 all with very close S/N's. Not sure what configuration it originally was, but it's now a Progressive Jazz kit with a Steve Maxwell consolette. The bass drum never had the Pratt Muffler System, so it could have be purchased as an extra bass drum (accessories were sold separately) for another kit configuration. 14x14 floor toms and 20x14 bass drums usually meant the kit was a Progressive Jazz. Who knows, just play'em. Cool Dude

That is one sweet kit. I'm particularly intrigued by the silhouette of 50's French comedian Jacques Tati on the bass drum head. Maybe there's a story there.

That is a deal right there!
