Love the stained wood grain look of these drums. These drums sound great I’m the higher tuning range. I would love to own a USA made kit. Vintage or brand new either or is fine with me.
I have this kit, but tuned higher on the kick with ambassadors on both sides. Really open bop sound! Toms were ambassadors with clear bottoms. Then black dots on the batter's for a little Tony vibe, then coated A's on batters and black dots on the bottoms. All combinations sound great with subtle differences.Small felt strip on the batter of the kick. Your kit looks darker, which I like a lot. Maybe the lighting or maybe the dye lot they used. I like the tom mount just fine and I use the extra hole for my ride cymbal on a boom arm. Works great. Other stands are old Ludwig flat base stands. Lighter to haul. I have a 7x10 on order to go with it. Hope it matches fairly well. Take a look at remo ut vs remo usa heads compared. I did that 2 part video to see what the differences were and did a sound comparison in pt. 2
Gretsch Catalina Club: The Workhorse of Bop drumming!!! The reason I say that is because at any given time, there is no other drum set out there that is used for playing Jazz as much as the Catalina Club. I mean other Bop kits are used for Jazz playing too, and there is a bunch out there by all the drum manufacturers, and there great drums. However, when playing Swing Jazz: practice, rehearsal, live gigs, and studio work, it's the Catalina Club that gets used the most.

Now that we know that you can play 1 million notes a minute. It would be fun to hear something simple and artistically groovy.
No comment. Super!
Did the kit come with a matching snare..
That Ludwig Supralite sounds good.
Super!
Ludwig mount on the rack tom?

Is that an atlas mount on the rack tom?
Teej- In the video description. (Yes)
Price?
How on earth is this such a cheap kit?
This looks sped up. Haha.
