All drums are in round, tune well, hold tune, and are thin shelled and very resonant. All drum shells are in tact. My intent originally was to fully sand down the lacquer off all the drums, and apply a gloss clear finish to the beautiful maple exteriors. I began that process years ago, but never finished it, instead opting to play the set . Depending on the genre of music I was playing, to record, gig, or otherwise, these toms are in your face bold. They are easily tuned, and you can tune them to a broad sonic range. The Gretsch concert toms have very thin three ply shells, that are incredibly resonant. There is no to little wear on the bottom edges of these drums. The Gretsch drums appear to have a bearing edge on their bottom edge. There is no chipping or damage. Bearing edges top or bottom are in fine shape.
This is a vintage stop sign, elongated T badge 1972 three ply Gretsch classic 14" x 10" deep relic that sounds and looks terrific.
