Do you know what year model it is? and can you get pics of it?, with the steel hoops it's a lower line model! the top of the line would have wood hoops!

I don't think you're right about steel hoops used only on low-end drums. Most if not all Gretsch bass drums from several years in the 70's had steel hoops. It wasn't only the low-end, or single-headed, etc. They went back to wood hoops in the 80's. I don't know which years had the steel hoops, but you can use that to help date them (catalogs aren't always reliable since they often include some older pictures, but go to gretschdrums.com to see the 1977 catalog which includes some sets with steel hoops).
