Hi, everyone!
Picked up my new kit after a three hour drive yesterday. It's a Gretsch Renown Jazz in Dark Walnut. I traded my Shine Select Custom with a 13" HHX Evolution to get it. I got the kit along with a Meinl Byzance 20" Sand Ride. First I wasn't impressed of the ride (I maybe had to high expectiations), but now I love it. It was a little bit heavier than I thought. Since I only have one cymbal right now, it's kind of black and white, no colours so to say, haha!
Gretsch Renown Maple Jazz 18" x 14", 14" x 14", 12" x 8"
Evans G2 over G1.
Snare: Cheap steel piccolo. I'll either go for the cheaper Mapex MPX 13" x 6", or with the more expensive YMCA snare. Will change the hoops to wood, atleast. Maybe make my own.
Cymbal:
Meinl Byzance Vintage 20" Sand Ride (Benny Greb signature)
Hardware:
Cheap no-name DW5000 copies (those you can get at Thomann and Musicstore)
Will take some new photos during the easter brake with the Nikon. Taken with my iPhone.
