Always a treat for me when my friend and drum teacher, John Hoffman (check him out on Insta and YouTube!) comes over and plays my Gretsch drums!!!!
Gretsch USA Custom in Black Nitron. 12, 13, 14, 18. The snare is a essentially a modern day Gretsch Max Roach model in Satin Rosewood (one of only two made). The cymbals are all Zildjian: The hi hats are 1960s pre-New Beat 14”, the ride is a 22” Constantinople Light, the sizzle crash is a 1960s 19” Medium Ride.
