So over the past few days i have noticed that i have had a lot of questions come up after reading some of these threads on the forum. Some of the things that have been discussed have made me ponder a bit.
I now own a 6pc. Gretsch catalina maple. Ec2 Coated heads on the toms, Ec reverse dot on the snair, and EMAD2 batter head on the kick. All of the resonant heads are stock gretsch heads. 16" and 18" ZXT Crash's, 14" Meinl HCS hi-hats, 10 Sabian Xs20 splash, 14" Wuhan China, 18" ZXT True China, 20" Paiste Mega Bell Metal Ride, 9" Stagg Black Metal Bell. Pearl Rack, and random bits of hardware.
(I only ask these questions because i cant find the answers myself)
I was looking at the gretsch online catalog and found that the smaller tom that i need is a 8x7, but i cant find any in my finish around the web.
If i can't find the smaller tom in the finish im looking for, is there a website that makes custom fabric wraps that dont stick to the shells?
Is it a bad thing to have stock heads on the resonant side of the drums?
The guy i bought the kit off of put foam tape in the snair to dampen it, is that bad?
And where can i find the serial number for my kit?
I can post more pictures if you want.
