Welcome to the Gretsch Gang. Love the silver sparkle, and the bass drum depth. Good job.
 
Glad to join. Yeah, i love the finish its amazing in person and especially when the sun hits it.

Very nice! Gretsch gives you so much for your money...sound, looks and quality.

Nice setup, and I like that finish!
 
Great kit! Now go and buy some clamps so you can get rid of half of your stands :).

yeah, i need a real tom mount, if you notice in the pictures the tom is mounted off a boom arm :p. in the past i have done weird mounts like that, one time i put a drum stick in one of my claps and put my old splash mounted on the stick because i didnt have enough hardware to properly mount it.
 
I was going to ask you about that tom mount, I actually used a cymbal boom arm to make my 13" tom level with my floor tom on my right hand side. Kind of shaky, but it worked.

That kit is pretty hot, just what I'm looking for in my next kit, even to the Silver Sparkle finish. Could we get a 'drivers seat' picture?
 
ok here we go i got it anyway.

here are the cymbals(RIP HHX Evo crash)

and i tried my best on the drivers seat angle.

Oh you're a bad bad man.

But that kit is still beautiful. Just beautiful.
 
i am one lucky guy. i think later on i will add another floor or mount tom. i find it funny how in the pics you can see some other gear laying around and that now all my stick are broken or held together w/ duck tape
 
Great deal on the Renoun Mod! My local shop has one sitting on a shelf that is just calling my name! Any more kits and I will be couch bound!
