Mike you hit another nail in the head, that kit came out just plain beautiful!!! Thanks again for taking the time to share a good story.
Kudos✌🏼
Hey Adrian, thanks for being such a great supporter of my content, glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, was really surprised you made such an awesome choice of finish color!
She's a beaut...
Killer kit. That finish looks amazing Mike.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!
Great, now I need a green kit...the wife's gonna kill me! LOL
Everyone needs a green kit!
quedo hermosa!!!
Gracias!
Those drums came out awesome Mike, and they sound great too !!!
Thanks!
that's so beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
What an exquisite project my man!
Agreed, very happy with how this turned out.
The economy version of the much desired HARLEQUIN model. Nice restoration work there. Thanks.
Thanks for checking it out. Love the harlequin sets as a part of history, even though personally not my style.
great job play them drums and the drums sound great very nice video ,thank you Mike let me know, if i can ever help you out again ,loved the video
I still want to have a ducco finish on something at some point.
I just found this and I am very impressed. I have a 50's round badge kit in red sparkle. I thought about removing the wrap but I felt it was not a good idea. Maybe it is a good idea! I appreciate your documentation and comments. Excellent information. Be well!
Glad it was helpful, I make new content like this all the time, so subscribe if you want to stay up to date.
WOW what a beautiful job ! Enjoy !
Thanks for checking it out, I agree!
So amazing! My favorite Gretsch color!
Thank you! Cheers!
Turned out superb! Just gotta get you a wild colored snare next then I’ll have to get a red sparkle one lol. Great video as always, Mike.
Thanks bud. I do that Gretsch COB snare that’ll probably be a nice fit. Haven’t even started that project yet.
My first kit was a Gretsch I put together from several parts I bought from different places. I play Tama drums now but have Gretsch hardware.
Nice!
Our sound guy from church gave me a full Gretsch Catalina Maple kit with an extra Catalina Round Badge 14in floor tom
Very nice!
My favorite Gretsch color combo.
Agreed, a classic finish
Super job as usual Mike.
Thanks Mark!
❤ ❤❤

Well Done Mike!
Thanks Andrew!
Great choice! Looks good man. What video editing software do you use? I want to make a video of my latest project too
I use Final Cut Pro X. It’s really great if you 1) are willing to invest in software and 2) are willing to invest your time to learn it. It was tough for me at first to get comfortable, but now I operate on it faster than I would with iMovie.
@@malonedrum thank you sir. Great advice and quality!
GRB ..awesome job on the color .. I have 59' RB in Starlite ..
How did they work around the badge?
Impeccable work in all levels..was is precision?
I'm contemplating making a,cannister throne in a matching starlite .if I can find one or perhaps another color scheme to play off the starlite .
I've owned many a kit ..incl 3 collectibles from the other big guns ..but Gretsch is my go to set
..
It was precision work done by a true professional painter/furniture restorer. Taped off edges and inside of shells to avoid overspray on bearing edges. You can easily just remove the badges from the tacks to paint on the original round badges, very simple.
Isn't the mysterious silver sealant just metal fence paint?
That's the rumor, but I don't think Gretsch is coming to come out any admit that anytime soon.
Just starting to get into vintage kits and Gretsch has been an earlier favorite of mine. What era of vintage Gretsch drums are your favorite? Love the videos!
My personal favorite are the 60s era round badge drums, but if you're intimidated by the price (which I still very much am) the stop sign badge era Gretsch drums (70s) are typically a much better bang for your buck as collectors don't seem to be as high on those price wise.
Sick vid mike!
Thanks Noah!
@@malonedrum I had a question actually! I’m restoring my 60s gretsch kit right now. And I just ordered some badges for it. Is there any knowledge or maybe a video you could share that would help break down the process and procedure of how to tac your older gretsch badges?
@@noahreasoner The process is pretty simple, if the hole is already there, it's as simple as pushing the tack through the exsising hole and bending it over once inside the shell with some pliers, and maybe some light hammering to get it done in place and have it hold firm. At least that's my experience with it. I wasn't able to find any videos about it either, but I figured it out pretty quickly with this project.
@@malonedrum yeah there used to be one- but not only did I re-wrap it but the previous owner patched a lot of little holes so i have to create all new ones. Might even drill a tiny pilot hole
@@noahreasoner I would def do a pilot hole. Maybe a 1/16ths bit. Test it in some scrap wood
Mike - Have you sold this kit?
No, but I might be soon: e-mail me at malonedrum@gmail.com
What kind of cymbal is that it sounds nice and how much was the job to paint the three drums.
I believe it's a 21" Bosphorus 20th Anniversary ride. I won't disclose the exact price, but I'd encourage you to reach out to Bruce (link in description) if you want to get a quote for your drums. It was extremely resonable for me, and a third of the price from what I was quoted by a drum shop.
Why not inlay the tom hoops to match?
That's a great question, and for many kits I think a matching inlay looks sharp, but I always enjoy the pairing of a complimentary, but different accent in the hoops. Traditionally the Cadillac Green finish had gold hardware on the drums, and lots also had the gold sparkle hoop inlay. I wasn't going to buy all gold hardware, so this is the next closest thing for me!
Hey I do same , I paint my drum with a car paint , its same quality , so try next time with a local car painter and yo will see its same at low cost.. its same process.... Greetings from Mexico...
Yes, I’m sure there are some local people who offer the same high quality finishing, but I can’t recommend working with this company enough. It’s nice to have someone with drum specific experience for these timeless pieces like vintage drums. I think if it were a more replaceable drum, I’d be happy to work with a car paint shop.
The rack tom sounds pretty dead to me (low and high tuning)...! Maybe because it's sit on a snare stand, killing sustain... Beautiful kit anyway.
Yeah, that one was taken a lot of finagling to get the right tone out of, I wonder if maybe the no vent hole thing builds up too much air passing with nowhere to escape.
Argh ! Love the natural maple wood colour ! This green is awful !
I think this might be the first response I’ve gotten hating on the Cadillac green.
@@malonedrum I"m sorry, don't like rhodoid or painting on old Gretsch, because old maple Jasper in natural was fantastic. So, it is to my eyes it is a little sad to see grain woodd disapperaed....
