ok this has been fun. Alot of Gretsch kits here that look fantastic. I just got a new set of catlina Maples. I love them take a look and give me your .02 I had a set of PDPs Birch drums witch were not too bad. I just had the itch to go maple. Wow they sound so loud in comparison. I like them and the looks are great. Just put Evans G2 heads on and you are set for some rockin.
