Ludwig & Gretsch Hybrid 3pc Shell Pack in White Gloss
This item has sold and is no longer available.
This is an interesting hybrid kit we put together about 15 years ago. It's a mix of Gretsch New Classic toms with a Ludwig Classic Maple bass drum, both from the early 2000s. They were leftover pieces from kits that were damaged so we re-wrapped them and swapped the lugs for tube lugs. This was sold to one of our teachers and was gigged well for many years. Now it's looking for a new home. We put on new batter heads on the toms and new hoops on the bass drum. These drums really do sound great - the perfect gig-worthy kit with a classic Gretsch and Ludwig sound!
Kit includes:
- 9" x 12" Tom
- 16" x 16" Floor Tom
- 16" x 22" Bass Drum
- Single tom holder
The white wrap has a mild yellowing to it due to its age. The bass drum shell is the original 9ply Classic Maple formula (slightly thicker than the current models) and the toms are the original 6ply Maple/Gum/Maple New Classic shells. The toms have Gretsch brackets and die-cast hoops. The wrap shows some stains and wear-and-tear from years of gigging, but it's minimal really and a good cleaning would bring everything back to life. The hardware also shows signs of use, especially the bass drum claws. There is one visible crack on the interior of the bass drum near one spur - there was a mild crack in the shell 15 years ago; we glued it up then and it has not budged since, so it should not give you any issues.
