Hey all, I've got a question re the Gretsch Renown series. I have a pre-RN1 Renown Maple in slate Silver sparkle (black square badge) with the 20x22 cannon bass drum. Rims style mounts but say GTS on them. The sound and quality are amazing but that bass is a monster on a small venue.
I have a chance to trade my shell pack for a RN1 shell pack with a 16x20" bass. Die cast hoops like mine, and the lower profile GTS mounts. I know the main difference is the mount and the bit of softer Maple than the older all- North American maple plies. I don't know that it matters to most about the softer Maple in quality. They'll both sound awesome no doubt. The question Is one more or less valuable/desirable or significant higher quality? Thx
