Description:

This is a beautiful and great sounding kit. Red sparkle has been a favorite rockin' color since at least Ringo Star. Drums show signs of use, but have been meticulously cleaned up and all the chrome polished. I've also boght new heads for several of the drums. The snare is in particularly nice shape, and sports the extra deep top hoop that Gresch is known for.

Known blemishes include:
There are a few knicks and scratches on the shells indicative of drums that are 30 years old. I've tried to show examples in the picutres, but all-in all, they are in great shape. The back ring of the bass drum shows the most wear. Varying degrees of oxidization on stands and chrome. The 10" rack tom stand and ride cymbol stands have the worst of it, but nothing impairing function. In the pictures, the 10" tom is missing the mounting bracket. I've taken that off because I need to replace an interior screw. Other than that it's in great shape. The 12" tom has a noticeable gouge in the shell from wearing against the lug of the 14" tom's while mounted on the bass drum.
