Thinking of buying a used drum set? Watch this video to make sure you know what to buy and what to walk away from. This drum lesson is about making sure your drums are of good quality before you waste your money. This video is also about setting up and playing my grandpas old Gretsch Round Badge kit. I go all out and cover Take Five on multiple instruments, it was a fun. Some info on the drums:
Gretsch round badge: 6 ply mahogany and gumwood
22x16 bass (January 4th, 1962)
16x16 Floor Tom (January 5th, 1955)
13x9 Rack Tom (February 1st, 1954)
13x4.5 Snare (1954)
The snare was bought first in the 50s, then the rest of the set was bought separately in 1962.
