Reviews

Feature:
Bought this set use, so accessories, cymbal stands, etc. that came with it are not part of the deal from Gretsch, but the extra floor tom was. Like the bigger-than-most kick drum. Snare is nice to have, too.

Quality:
Above the crowd quality.

Value:
Almost a 10- except there is no perfection in this world...

Desirability:
Beautiful set. Red translucent finish on the shells, chrome plating are just pure sex appeal.

Sound:
VG sound. 8 out of 10- hey, there are better drums out there, but hard to find a better bargain.

Ease of Use:
The previous reviewer said it better than I could- you hit, them make noise. What more do you want?

Support:
No experience here.

Overall:
Set was aquired to be the main rental drums for a professional recording studio. I am thinking anyone who might turn his/her nose up at these would probably have his/her own set they would want to use, anyway. And for the wackers, we have a cheap beater set that they can rent cheap, wail on all day long and then be surprised when we present them for a damage bill.
