    Gretsch was never really my style of sound, but they sound great. The snare doesn't sound bad either. I always thought Gretsch snares had kind of a dead "boxy" sound. This is a beautiful and beautiful sounding kit.

    My favorite brand, era and color! This is the same set that my jazz instructor had in 1967, right down to the 14"x4" "piccolo" snare drum with 42 snare wires. His kit was green sparkle - which I would call emerald. He removed his mufflers, saying that a good drummer did not need them. His kit sounded amazing wth sticks or brushes.

    NICE! I gotta work on HH control - working towards higher clutch holding shut. People have wondered why I'm not a rocker drummer... THIS IS WHY. WHELL DONE. TY.

      My favorite color for drums. There were other brands with a similar color, also called "champagne sparkle". My current Gretsch "New Round Badge" Catalina Club Jazz is "copper sparkle" but looks like the champagne with copper in it, like he describes in this video. I love Gretsch!

      @@boomerguy9935 That sounds beautiful. I had a Catalina in walnut lacquer. I think yours is even better. None the less, the Catalina's are awesome drums. Have a great day.
