"Yes ,thats right,Louis had a Gretsch double bass custom kit like that...in 47,bizzare DEEEEEP tom and all.

"
If i remember he used that configuration through the early 50s when i was a kid getting interested in drums probably 56 i remember sending away to gretsch for a picture of Louie there was a magnificent black nitron double bass kit with the cocktail drum in the middle
somewhere in there he switched to Rogers (dont remember if there was another brand in between - memory is getting dim

)
just a bit of Louie reminiscing
