Gretsch Vintage late 70s/early 80s Drum Kit Description
I am trying to find out the value of this drum set, and need some help. I MIGHT consider selling it, if the price is right. I feel that I got it for a good deal, and that it was sold to me for a small fraction of what it could be worth. It was originally posted late last year for $100, and was delivered to where I lived so that I could see it in person, before buying. I wanted a good set for what little I had available to pay. I was looking every day and night online for one. Upon seeing this one in person, I just had to get it, I felt like it was an amazing deal. Now, I am researching every piece of it to find out its value, and whether or not any of it is rare.
Here is a video of me playing them:
