Sweet looking kit m8!

Maybe you can post a sound file, when you have them dialed in?

Have you seen the ultrasonic cleaners? The classic bike & car restorers use them a lot, I picked a small one up for $70.00, and it cleaned all the parts of my old Iron Cobras up a treat so I could put them on eBay


It’s an extremely gentle but powerful form of cleaning using bubbles..

It would do you lugs a treat & without any real hard polishing work too 

Cheers

P.S. I also replaced all 8 bearings in the pedals as well, nice easy job, much easier than I expected… (cheep too)

NEWBIES NOTE:

Nick's Posts.  AWESOME.  Pics and sound files.  Pic or it didn't happen.  YO.

YOU ARE AWESOME BRO.

Ok, Felix outted me.   

I flipped the short stack kit, and I'm now the owner of a Gretsch mahogany jazz kit
in natural satin finish.  But, it's very hard taking pictures of the kit where it
is.  I'll try.

NY Frank,

Did you get one of the Catalina Club (Jazz) sets ala 12-14-14-18 inch?

Those look cool and I know they sound nice.

If so, I'm wondering what you laid out for it. I'm considering getting one eventually and I see them on eBay for approx. $600

Man, Felix's Sonors are AWESOME. The bubinga set is just the greatest thing ever. Felix, you don't need cymbals with those, just play roundhouse fills all day.

I don't know how this stuff happens, but I missed all of these recent posts, otherwise I would have commented.

Yes, I am now playing a Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz kit, in the relatively new natural satin finish.  I wish I could post a photo, because I actually customized mine     but I'm still stuck in a very small room, and it's very hard to photograph in it.

I actually converted my 14" floor tom to a suspended tom by having Precision Drum cut it
in half.  Yeah - I imagine that sounds insane to some, but, that's a natural
configuration to me.

IMHO, these kits are a steal for the price.  I really love this kit.

Cavanman - typical price for these kits is close to $600.  I see some dealers selling it With hardware for that price and some Not.  But, if you want a shell kit only, as I did, you can catch these kits as low as 500 - 530, depending on what finish you want.

If you want more info on how to snag a kit without spending $600, PM me.
