Robin623 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Hey all, I am a ney guy here. So, I just ordered my new Gretsch Renown Maple Groove 5pc Shell Pack (8",10",12" toms, 14" floor tom, & a 20" kick in Satin Black) PLUS a new Gretsch 5x14" G4160 Chrome Over Brass Snare drum, all for $1525 delivered & can't wait 'til it arrives next week! Did I get a good deal? (My local Guitar Center price-matched, after a week of haggling.) Now I need to decide whether to make this G4160 my main snare drum, or my Pork Pie 5x12" Little Squealer. One will be my secondary. Wee... I'm also selling my six year old, 7-piece Gretsch Catalina Birch kit (8",10",12",14",16",22",& 14"), as it seems too ringy & better suited for loud/metal music. Maybe I'll put an ad up here, too. Am I right here in comparing Reknown Maple to Catalina Birch? I'm more of a Jazz Fusion & Prog. Rock aficionado. I've wondered if pro-caliber DW, Yamaha, Tama, Pearl, & other makers' drums were of better quality, but am now sold on Gretsch Reknown after reading tons on this site! This is only the 3rd acoustic drum set I've ever owned. I'm just a hobbyist & need just one kit @ a time. (I do practice on a cheap VDrum kit @ home, but VDrums can't compare, musically-speaking.) I hope this is gonna' be my #1 drum kit for life. (FYI, I'm 41yo & bought my 1st Pearl Export kit in 1987). Thanks. PS: try to attach pics, but apperantly it's not working Edited September 28, 2012 by Robin623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
