I recently placed an order for a Gretsch USA Custom set. 14 x 18 bass drum, 14 x 14 floor tom, 8 x 12 mounted tom, matching 5.5 x 14 snare drum.
I've wanted to own a set of these drums for a very long time. I've never owned a lot of gear, just a few drum sets my whole life. This set won't be used on rock dates. Think small-group jazz, bebop, standards, etc. Single-ply heads tuned up to sing. I'm not going for versatility here, I have other drums for other situations.
The order will take 16–18 weeks. I cannot wait. Every day, I wake up thinking about these babies and smile. They're going to get here at the start of the summer. Talk about anticipation.
This feels self-indulgent, but I had to share with other drummers. I'm so excited. Of course, when the drums arrive, I will post pics, videos, etc.
