Description: ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER features rare instruments from the earliest years of popular music. The first kit dates back to the early 1950s – a Gretsch Cadillac Green Nitron drum kit with a 20″ bass drum, 12″ alto tom and 14″ floor tom. The toms in the kit are tuned low, giving a smooth, open sound, allowing for excellent placement of the kit in mix among electrified instruments. The second kit dates back to the late 1950s – the WFL kit. It includes a 20″ bass drum, 12″ and 13″ alto toms and a 16″ baritone floor tom. In the WFL, the toms are tuned high, giving a lighter tone, which complements the Gretsch kit well. Each kit contains three different snare drums from the same period, providing sonic variety and additional customization options. The kits include a set of period cymbals – Zildjian A and K for creating an authentic vintage sound.
