Elvin Jones and Gretsch: What more can we say? Other than this: You can now capture “That Great Gretsch Sound” that Elvin loved, and your kit can look exactly like the highly coveted original round badge set he played. 8x12, 14x14, 14x18, 5.5x14 in our Gretsch exclusive white satin flame. And, the set has the exact same ”vintage build” that identifies the coveted round badge era kits: Internal tone controls; 9.5mm tom legs and vintage brackets; vintage disappearing bass drum spurs; bass drum T rods; Lightning snare strainer; snap-in key holder; and our Maxwell vintage rail consolette tom holder completes the setup. And, if you want other sizes, we can handle that as well. Other finishes? No problem.
