GRETSCH NEW CLASSIC MAPLE Natural Satin Absolute Dead Mint Condition

Description

Absolutely Perfect Gretsch New Classic Drums - proportionate Maple shells, silver sealer, and die cast hoops. The set still has original heads and there is not a mark or blemish anywhere to be found. I have had the set for years and never got around to playing it. I restore and refinish drums and collect as well and many of mine have not been played which is also why I have been gradually liquidating them. Below is a link where the new classic was compared to a USA Custom - Audibly identical!

The set comes with the 4 drums, floor Tom legs, and two Gretsch Tom mount. I have some really nice 9000 series Gibraltar hardware available if interested - ahead and gator cases (complete sets) . I’ve seen a few sets but all have been played, and sustained damage or show wear. I have only seen or other snare a couple years ago - quite rare and the condition of mine is impossible to beat.
Bass - 22”
Floor Tom - 14”
Rack Tom - 12”
Rack Tom - 10”
I will be listing locally as well (Indy craigslist) - if you want to arrange pickup Or have questions you can find info and more photos there as well. Not interested in trading and I will entertain offers for the drums or a combination of drums/snare/stands etc. eBay and PayPal take almost 15%  So yes, it’s priced higher than in other forums. I will be listing 4 or 5 other sets in the coming weeks also.
Where Gretsch shells differ from other shells is in the inner coating of matt silver paint and the 30º bearing edges. Most drums have clear sealed interiors and 45º edges. The 30º edges warm the sound slightly, bringing out a little extra depth. What's more, the thickness of each shell varies according to the shell's size. Therefore all the toms have six plies, but the 10" tom is 4.8mm thick, the 12" tom is 5.7mm and the 14" floor tom is 6.6mm.
The 22" bass drum has eight plies and is 9.1mm thick. The effect this has on the sound is to maximise the performance of each drum. The small toms sing out with a rapid, sensitive response and the unbendable cast rims mean whether you tune high or low the pitch remains true. The thin shells give the drums depth of tone while the cast rims contain the sound more than triple flanged rims.
