#gretsch #Drums #unboxing
unboxing a new drum, is the most beautiful day in the drummer life👍
It’s up there!
24x14 is my favorite kick size. Great low end and excellent punch. Going deeper only gets woofy
All kicks should be 14” deep, unless they’re smaller than 18”
I just finished my day watching our 3 year old grandson, which my wife and I do 3 days a week. I hurried home to watch this unboxing, as I saw it was in my que this morning, but I didn’t have time to watch it until tonight.
How fun and exciting that must be, finally getting a new kit after such a long wait. I went through this wonderful experience back in 1965 when I got a brand new Slingerland set that I bought with my saved up paper route money. That was a once in a lifetime experience, and I sure wish I could remember it better. Since then I have gotten 2 other sets, but both were used, but it was still exciting.
Thank you for sharing this momentous occasion with all of us and take care, Mike.
It was a fun time.
Wow Mike, so much fun watching this one. Those drums are really beautiful, and I love all the love that the company surely puts into them. Fantastic, and I love the way the black beauty looks together with them.
It's a great set of everything working well together.
I bought a Gretsch Bell Brass a while back. Super well packaged.
Great drum I’m sure!
@@malonedrum People say the Tama version is the best, but the Gretsch bell brass is one of the best sounding drums I've ever heard.
Those drums look awesome in that finish
Agreed!
Gave me shivers when he pulled the Kick drum out.
Enjoy man, I love my Broadkaster. Unfortunately, I don’t play it enough.
They are fantastic!
AN UNBOXING, YOU SAY.
Yes sir.
Bonjour!Thanks, you did super , :)
Many thanks!!
Beautiful set!
Thanks Shawn!
I just got my Broadkasters bop kit in December after many years of dreaming. Many thanks to Steve Maxwell in Chicago for making the dream come true. They are truly the Stradivarius of drums.
How was the wait time working with Steve?
That’s the best part: He had the exact sizes and finish I wanted (satin walnut) in stock! I was going to order them from another shop, which was quoted as 6-8 months. But, I was perusing Reverb one Saturday morning and there they were. I had them by the next Friday.
@@terrydrums very lucky!
The kit is beautiful and the excitement is palpable (and that logo is soooo retro cool!).
Regarding the narrative starting around 4:15, in response to a recent video from Mapex at the 2024 NAMM show, I commented on one of their Saturn kits and mentioned I thought it was very nice but I'd made a firm decision to only consider kits where the toms mount directly on the kick drum. One of the marketing managers at Mapex responded personally and said that they are rethinking the virgin bass drum approach as so many people have told them they prefer their toms mounted on the kick. Just my two cents.
Good to hear companies are listening to customers.
Nice to meet you Corey, Green Bay regardless.
Ha!
Beautiful kit.
I think so too!
love that finish! Congrats on the kit!
Never one I'd personally lean towards, but once I saw, it swayed me!
Those are beautiful. Congrats & enjoy.
They are!
How are you not going to include a sound demo?! We need a follow-up video! 🤣
Ha, no time, and I'd have to haul a way bigger rig up to Corey's, so with the blizzard incoming we didn't have time. One day, but holy cow, that bass drum 🫠🫠
Nice job Mike - thank you!

Gretsch manufacturing and distribution are now owned by GEWA as of last week for those who don’t know.
I'm aware, hopefully they can put in some practices and procedures to help with the efficiency of custom orders, but I suspect their influence will be greater one the mass produced import lines.
@@malonedrum Import lines are still Hal Leonard. Gretsch has Sonor turnaround times. Pearl is two weeks, Ludwig is 60 days, and I’m not sure about Yamaha or DW.
@@rkaylor5769 are you sure Hal Leonard is continuing their distribution? I asked an industry person last week and they said they weren’t sure about that side of it. Hopefully GEWA can help improve efficiency on any side of it.
@@malonedrum It stands to reason Roland would dump Gretsch. They only wanted DW. That’s fine by me given Gretsch’s heritage. When Roland acquired DW, Gretsch was the one that concerned me because DW is moving in an entirely different direction, but Gretsch lives off their old-school legacy. Sonor, Gretsch, and Ludwig’s bread and butter…
Great unboxing vid! GO PACK!
Go Pack Go!
Great video, Mike! Though I moved from Green Bay to New England in 1985 when I was 18, I am still a huge Packer fan. I also happen to have bought a new Broadkaster kit 5 years ago (22/12/16/ 6.5X14). It's the 135th Anniversary kit in Dark Emerald lacquer over ribbon mahogany. That makes Corey's the 2nd most beautiful Broadkaster kit I have seen. That 49ers game was great a disappointment as the rest of the season was a welcomed surprise. Can't wait for next season!
Well said!
My heart sank watching the pillow go into the bass drum and hearing "after getting the kick muffled ..." After attending a Keith Carlock clinic, I'll never muffle a kick again. Imagine getting a near $1,000 bass drum and not letting it ring. (No criticism, just observation).
I love Keith’s sound, but I wouldn’t call it universal. I have nothing against muffling a kick, no matter the price.
Broadkasters are such exceptional drums!! Gretsch really puts a lot of care into their instruments, definitely worth the long wait!! Hoping some day to custom order either a Brooklyn, Broadkaster or USA Custom.
I hope it works out for you!
Beautiful kit🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks!
Why 15 months of waiting? Great sounding drums. Patented Gretsch. Thanks for sharing. Go UW Badgers.
Small staff at the Gretsch USA factory, supply chain issues, and overwhelming interests is what I'd guess. It's very typical for Gretsch lately on custom ordered kits. It's not ideal, but it's not really their fault.
What a beauty 🥁☺👌🏼
Thanks.
"A playoff run's worth of Carry the G"
How many cans did you throw across your body back towards the TV at the end of the game?
Ha, we'll he gave them to me before the first playoff game, so none there, and the last 2 minutes of the final game was testing me, but overall if you told me I'd get to watch this young team with a first year starting QB make it to the playoffs and play 7 excellent quarters of football against the two top teams in the NFC, I'd be quite happy. The future is bright.
Very nice
Thanks
Nice
Thanks
outstanding. ....never been a fan of virgin bass drums.
Agreed!
Beautiful kit....too bad the Packers fell to the 9'ers!
The future is bright, like a summer amber gloss, for the Green Bay Packers!
Beautiful finish Mike ❤️🔥 what’s the snare?
Ludwig Black Beauty
@@malonedrum The Usual Suspect 😅
What were the goodies they packaged??
Some postcards, decals, posters, and other old Gretsch goodies.
