10"x8"
12"x9"
13"x10" (haven't used this one in a while so it's not pictured)
14"x11"
16"x16"
Snare:
14"x5.5"
Bass:

14" Mastersound hats
14" and 15" crashes

I love this set to death, it's been my favorite out of the eight or so sets I've had in the 15 years I've been drumming.

Welcome to Drum Chat Biff Manning!
Good looking kit. Is that in a studio, or do you do home recording?

Here's an up-date on my 1961 (mostly 1958) Gretsch restore project.
Just a few photos of where I'm at after five weeks.
The first three photos are the day I brought them home - the next two were taken tonight in our living room - that's me holding the K Zildjian ride and AZildjian hats that came with the drums. The heads are temporary - I just could not wait to play them - first time tonight! I have a little work to do yet....waiting for parts and heads.
Cheers,
Gary

I bought another on eBay, but - I cleaned and separated the three plys on that rotten one and it will be a future - maybe very future - project to bring it back to life and put it back where it belongs........on these drums!
Here's what it looks like now.......
Notice the very delicate surgery in photo three - I did take it easy it just looks gross here - haha. Some planning and skilled woodwork and these hoops may have a chance........Ray Ayotte told me he's repaired worse.....wow!
This is the one I bought on eBay after I finished painting it yesterday and added one thin coat of Tung Oil to the inlay groove.
