The vintage satin flame wrap shows some occasional scratching but is tight and looks very good. The internal mufflers are still attached and functioning.

The die-cast rims, t-rods & claws and lug casings are bright and look amazing. The snares are new and the strainer has been replaced by a new version of the Gretsch Micro-Sensitive strainer. The bass drum heads are original to the kit. The heads on the snare drum and toms have been replaced by Remo Ambassador heads. This amazing mid-'60s drum set, in rare Aqua Satin Flame, has just recently been restored after being in storage for decades.

Many musicians still consider the "Progressive Jazz" kit to be the "Holy Grail" of vintage drums. The Gretsch "Progressive Jazz" drum kit was the instrument of choice for many of the legendary jazz drummers of the '50s, '60s and '70s including Art Blakey, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Mel Lewis and many others.
