I finally made took some photos of my new kit. It's a Gretsch New Classic in Natural Satin finish.
The sizes of the drums are 22x18, 10x8, 12x9, 14x14, 16x16 and 14x6,5.
The cymbals are Sabian HHX and AAX.

Enjoy!

I am speechless....its that beautiful. That is a virgin kick, right? How do you like your drums, or is that a stupid question?
 
That's a beautifully subtle kit. I love the look of those HHX Hi-hats, how are they?

Gretsch keep on making great kits and each time I see a new Gretsch I keep wanting to own one. Luckily I quit my job so I can't afford them now!

Thanks! Yes, the kick is virgin.
How I like th drums? I tested them in the store some time before I bought them and was blown away. So much punch and resonance.
Now that I have moved them over at my practice space, they have gone a little out of tuning after being setup in the store. Haven't really fine-tuned them myself yet, but the overall sound is REALLY good allthough...
And oh, the look of the kit doesnt really bother me either.
Not a stupid question! :)

They're the best sabian hats I've ever used! Great for rocknroll and funk. Even jazzier stuff too.

Love the kit!

I wish that finish was available in the USA... :(

So it isnt? That's what I also thought, after browsing the internet and not finding this finish.
I really dig the natural feel of it!
 
Absolutly beautiful. Rob (fourstringdrums) owns one aswell...god it`s just amazing.
I like the natural finish, would has a nice colour in my opinion.

Aaaand what is with your beautiful Premier kit now? That is a beauty aswell.

Wow... Why they haven't offered that finish in the U.S., I have no idea. There would definitely be a market for it.

Thanks :) I think I found my dream-kit. Won't need to buy new drums for a looong time.

The Premiers are doing fine, but are living in cases for the moment. I only have one set of hardware..
 
Wow! There's something very beautiful about this whole set-up that gives you a pleasant warm feeling inside! It could be the simplicity of the set-up or the delightfully soft sheen on the wood.

Congrats and thanks for posting such lovely images!

I could look at these pics for hours...
 
Whoa. I'm in love with your kit, it's simply put together perfectly. Really beautiful. I'm also in love with the cymbals; how is the Groove Ride? I like how I've heard it online and seriously considering buying one, but have yet to play one in person. I've heard it's versatile and also serves beautifully as a crash-- both good qualities to me.
 
Thats a pretty classy setup you have going there man. Ive never tried the "New Classics" but i really want to. Looks really solid to me. Great finish too.
 
Dææven steikje..
That is a beatiful kit:) I really love the new classic's.. I am condsidering to buy a new classic jazz kit:)
 
Given the option of a black head or a white head I would opt for black. The white would just wash the color of the drums out and look hideous.
