Vintage drum kit – Gretsch “Round Badge”

Big hair and tight jeans are all well and good, but for this ADpak we wanted to lean into the warmer, folkier, dare-we-say mellower side of the Sound City live room. To deliver this we found a 1960’s three-ply Gretsch “Round Badge” kit in near mint condition. The combination of maple and gum wood in the shells gives the kit a warm and punchy sound with plenty of rich dark character. Matched with two great vintage Ludwig snares you end up with a very versatile kit that just pops out of your production.
