Here we have a very nice refurbished Gretsch Stop Sign Badge USA Custom in some great sizes including a matching snare drum. The refurbishment was carried out by the late great Eddie Ryan in 2011 to his very exacting and high standard.
The kit is finished in Aqua Blue Sparkle by Delmar, this is an original American built set with the famous Gretsch USA Custom shell formula and silver sealer interior.
This kit sounds exactly as you would expect, it's effortless to tune the toms, the bass drum is super present with a great balance of low end warmth and punchy beater definition finally the 8 Lug 14 x 5.5 snare drum is to die for. The sound of these drums have perfectly matured, it will record like a dream or be a superb kit for live too.
