Very nice Manny. I've lost track how many Gretsch bop kits you've had??? Lots of them!! Always fun to change things up. I get too attached to things and have a hard time selling anything. Just ask my wife. :)

Glenn.

Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

The burgundy kit brings back memories. I had the same kit. Certainly wish that I had kept them!!! Have fun drumming.

Wow, super looking sets. I have a pair of those double bottom Spurs like on the Champagne set. I use them on my club date bass drum sometimes.

Wow. I'm drooling away here. At some point I'm going to look at a set of these. I'm currently running a Ludwig Downbeat in these sizes for my bopology, but I'm curious if a nice one of these G's would ramp up my inspiration. Hmmm. They certainly look gorgeous. They don't come up for sale very often over here in the UK, and if they do it tends to be with 13" 16" Toms which are a bit big for me.

Anyway nice collection my friend.

Thank you for the kind words. You do have some excellent options in Europe Guru drums and Sonor come to mind....

I can tune this guy very close to a lot of my vintage kits; it has an overall wider tuning range but also different feel.
