12X15 GRETSCH TOM USA JASPER TOM. LATE 70'S EARLY 80'S. RARE TRANSITION DROP G BADGE. SHELL IS PERFECTLY ROUND AND 30 DEGREE BEARING EDGES ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE. THIS DRUMS SINGS!!! CHROME IS EXCELLENT AND SHINY WITH JUST A FEW BLEMISHES HERE AND THERE. THE PICS SAY EVERYTHING. TRANSITION DROP G BADGE IS LOOSE AND SPINS AROUND- NEEDS TO BE GLUED IN PLACE. THIS DRUM HAD A PEARL MOUNT AT ONE POINT AND HAS 3 EXTRA HOLES (2 SHOWING) BUT WAS MERCIFULLY SPARED THE DREADED GRETSCH OMNI-MOUNT SO THE HOLES ARE SMALL AND MOSTLY HIDDEN BY THE EXISTING GRETSCH TECHWARE MOUNT. THE PEARL MOUNT AND THE TECHWARE MOUNT ARE THE ONLY 2 MOUNTS THIS DRUM HAS EVER HAD. I DON'T KNOW WHICH CAME FIRST. PROBABLY THE GRETSCH. THERE IS ONE MUFFLER MISSING ON THE RESONANT SIDE AND ONE WORKING PERFECTLY ON THE BATTER SIDE. SILVER SEALER AND BADGE ARE IN TACT AND EXCELLENT. FINISH IS GORGEOUS RED ROSEWOOD WITH GREAT 70'S MAPLE GRAIN SHOWING UNDERNEATH. SOME RASH ON ONE SIDE. THIS DRUM IS A PLAYERS DREAM. IT TUNES UP PERFECTLY AND SOUNDS AMAZING WITH THAT DEEP VINTAGE JASPER SOUND. WOULD MAKE A KILLER FLOOR TOM WITH 2 MORE TECHWARE MOUNTS AND SOME LEGS. NO RESERVE AUCTION.
