Vintage Gretsch Drum Set - $6000
Vintage Gretsch Drum Set - $6000
Oct 22, 2024
Description

  I have a one owner vintage 1964 Gretsch round badge 5pc drum embeddeded in exceptional condition with all initial hardware and cymbals. It is simply as it was bought new in 1964.

  The sizes are 20" bass model 4249 serial no. 51854 with "American Vintage" Aquarian heads. 2 12" model 4415 toms, serial no. 51915 & 51917. A 16" Floor tom design 4413 serial no. 51712. The snare is a 6.5 x 14" model 4157 serial no. 50169.

  All the initial hardware is fully operational, consisting of the Gretsch Floating Action base pedal with an extra leather strap. A Ludwig "Spur-Loc" hello there hat. The snare has the original lower head and snares, the snare shake off works smooth and properly. The leading head on the snare is a Remo coated Emperor. All the heads are in great condition. There are some indications of use but absolutely nothing significant and it still sounds AMAZING! It has that great large open Gretsch sound. I have all the original heads except the front base (from painting band names on them) and the top snare, but do not utilize them. The three toms have Remo Ambassador heads on top and Remo Emperor heads on all-time lows.

  I have actually made no modifications to this set, it is simply as it came from the dealership in 1964. The finish wrap is excellent, the base drum head rims have some scratches from routine gigs. I also am consisting of the initial soft carrying cases and a difficult case for the snare, cymbals and hardware. Everything that featured the drum set and required for 60's rock jobs is included, even the Electro-Voice 664 mike, extra snare head & hardware products!

  The cymbals include a 19 in Avedis Zildjian with rivets. The high hat is two14 inch Ludwig Standard Paiste cymbals. Likewise included is a 16 inch Ludwig Standard Paiste cymbal and a 22 inch Paiste Formula 602 cymbal. The Formula 602 has a stop drilled fracture that goes 2 inches in and 1.5 inch to the side. This occurred in the late 1960s and it has played lots of gigs with this fracture.

  I am offering this set as a total unit from the 60's. Everything is included and not offered independently. Next year it will be 50 years old, and has actually had great care it's whole life. To learn more reply by e-mail or text 6 o 5 .
