Gretsch Sunday Sermon 13:7:7 Levithicus

don't nod out.. chin up
why he doesn't go up the toms from the floor toms I don't understand 4:20 he's stuck in a Gene Krupa
he's stuck in a Buddy Rich.
Now I remember watching this video. It was a dud. Move along Mass over
I don't think he's ever played a Rock beat if his life depended on it. He knows the first 2 minutes of a Buddy Rich Legends Part One VHS from 1989 .. and that's it. Repeats it constantly every video

I remember this kit being put up for sale on another forum and the seller being made aware of what he had. Add was withdrawn and this video popped up like a week later with a vertiginous price hike.

I started with a regular 20", 10", 12" and 14" + 14SN back in 2010 or so (bought new). Then finally found a 24", 13" and 16" in equally mint condition a few years ago. Would love to find an 8" sometime, but this finish is quite rare.

Some Gretsch kits I have owned in the past . The Steve Maxwell Espresso Burst USA Custom kit (in the middle ) is one I really wished I had kept .
The other two are also Gretsch USA Custom kits . Silver sparkle Nitron 18/12/14 and Black metallic lacquer 22/12/16 . Both good sounding kits but victims of my drum purge to get down to having just two kits only .
