1960's Gretsch Round Badge Drums Studio Recording Samples

Our friend Grady Saxman stopped Warner Robins Studio here in Nashville, TN after he picked up this kit so we could geek out on it. We threw some mics up and were blown away by how great they recorded without any TLC.

Hi bombcollective, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. We actually set this up in 10 minutes and hit "record" and were very impressed with how they sounded. I haven't found any KZbin videos like this so please post a link to one if you do know of one or even have an audio sample. We'd love to hear it. Cheers!

Did you eventually play? I couldn't wait for it

[@Kjodienda]

Your set sounded great, your playing is nice and loose - very impressive. Not surprised to see how well the Ludwig FT fits in to the mix. If it's the three ply MPM, then the sound is very similar to the Gretsch formula.

thanks for the comment Jose!

Hi, what sizes are all the drums? Is the kick tuned quite high? Cheers.

[@eimidioskouroi]

Hi James. The sizes are 13x9 and 16x16. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@vintagedrummer]

22" bass drum?

[@eimidioskouroi]

I don't remember. He sold it pretty quickly. It was a great sounding kit.

[@eimidioskouroi]

Ha, we thought so too!

[@bombcollective]

Considering these kits are probably the best ever made, this video makes them sound...shit!
