I have some amazing items on the way. Call Steve directly on these at 630-865-6849:

Gretsch 50s era 3 ply kit 9x13, 16x16, 14x22, 5.5x14 all re-wrapped in beautiful gold sparkle by Jack Lawton. Incredible 3 ply era Gretsch sound in a stunning kit.

SOLD. Gretsch 60s era bop kit!! 8x12, 14x14, 14x18, 4x14. All 3 ply except 14x14!!! Three extra holes in the 18 and a few in the 4x14. Entire set will be re-wrapped by Jack Lawton in the color of your choice. Get the REAL sound of the 60s bop era for a third of what you'd pay if this was the original wrap. Update:  Spoke to Jack Lawton who verified that the 14x18 is an absolutely original Gretsch 3 ply bass drum shell that has 5 ply reinforcement rings. This is something that he and I both have seen on 3 ply Gretsch 18s. In the extremely unusual case of a 3 ply 18" bass drum the rings are actually necessary for ensuring strength of the shell. On the very few 3 ply 18s that have surfaced the rings are there. When Gretsch went to the 6 ply shell with the staggered ply scenario the shell integrity was fine without the rings. This 3 ply shell has correct silver paint on the inside with no paper tags so this would date it more towards that 1957 time frame where they were making the transition from clear interiors with no tags to the silver sealer paint and eventually to paper tags. He said the shell is very nice. An original 3 ply 18 is insanely rare.  More to come. Keep checking back. If you want this kit call Steve at 630-865-6849. You can pick your wrap color!

A little story for you: "It was seriously cool when it first arrived on the scene almost 50 years ago. It was revolutionary for the time. It truly made a 'statement'. But then it was gone. For over 40 years it has been missing and highly coveted. Rare original examples get snapped up immediately. Fast forward to January 2009 and a conversation between two parties who both happened to be thinking about the same thing at the same time. Now, the wait is over. It's back, and you can only get it from us. Yes, the ultimate in "cool" has returned". To find out, just Click Here
