I picked up some Meinl Byzance Medium Hats, A Custom Crash and Ride and (not pictured) and 18" Meinl Byzance Dark China (killer!).
Very happy with my kit.
 
Got these last year.
Custom USA in Champagne Sparkle
18bd/12rt/14ft.......already had the 125 Anniversary 4.5x14 snare to match (sn is a RB .....I asked Gretsch if they could put Round Badges on my Custom kit....they could not do that. I like the drop G badges too so I was happy.

The last drums I'll probably ever buy.

This, along with the set of New Classics completes the needs/wish list.

Terrible! I'm sending them back........
NOT !
Ya - they sound like a very nice Gretsch kit should sound. I'm not disappointed at all. I'm amazed at the sound that comes out of that 18 bd. The kit sounds good tuned low - med and high. Just a fun kit to play.

I still like my late 50's kit 20/12/14 and with the calfhide heads....I can't get enough of that kit.

Lots of beautiful kits on this thread. I love checking them out....very nice!


How do they sound?
