Gretsch Renown Maple 2013 model in Silver Oyster Pearl.
10 x 7, 12 x 8, 16 x 14 toms, 22 x 18 bass drum and 14 x 6,5 snare with additional 13 x 9 tom. Gives me several setup options, like 10-12-16, 12-13-16 or 10-13-16.
Great sounding and looking kit and the latest GTS is very slick and functional.

What size are those timbales and what do you have them attached on because that looks like a great place to put them. Also beautiful kit.
DJ, The timbales are an old set they are 8" and 10" just mounted on an old cowbell mount. not the ultimate set up but it works. here's a couple more pics. Thanks for compliments folks. I used to have a Walnut set in the same sizes years ago but as i played them out the lugs wore down and i couldn't get replacements back then so i sold them. So when i had the chance to get this kit i jumped on it, everyone should a Gretsch in the stable. IMHO. pete.
My early 50's Broadkaster.
3 ply shells with clear interiors.
22,16,13,14.
As you can see I added some modern hardware from Gretsch and Ludwig.
I made sure to keep the classic spurs on the bass drum though.
Thanks pete, The splash is a Zildjian K Custom Hybrid 11". The Swish Knocker is an old 8 rivet Zildjian 22". The Agop's are as follows. 21" Sultan Jazz ride, 18" Traditional left side ride, 14' Sultan hats, and a Paper Thin 18" crash.Truly beautiful Bob, that's all you need right there. Are all the cymbals Istanbuls?

Rest, Try moving them up or down the L rod some normally that is what kills the tone of the drum.
gorgeous Dave
is it a glass fade?
how many kits in your arsenal now?
And that is a Renown set yes?
beautiful snare indeed
glad you went to Jess to get it done.... love those guys
I love that you did that for your daughter
all my kits have written inside the bass drum that these kits belong to my daughter .... I'll do the same with the USA Custom when it arrives.... which will be Gretsch kit #5 to the dismay of my wife
beautiful drums my friend
I had to oval the holes with a round file just a bit to allow the Atlas Arch to make the span distance. Being that the 22" drum has 8 lugs the spacing of the lugs was about 1/4" to far. If you look closely at the pics you can see that the Atlas lugs are slightly closer than the Gretsch lugs on the front head. The holes don't show with the Atlas mounts installed. If I ever reinstall the original lugs they would also cover the oval holes.Wow, so the Atlas mounts just fit in the original Gretsch lug-holes? That's good to know and opens up some posisbilities. I'd love to try the tom mount but wouldn't want to drill new holes in my USA Custom.
