The Gretsch 60s Round Badge drum set is a vintage classic, renowned for its distinctive sound and quality craftsmanship. Manufactured in the 1960s, it features the iconic round badge emblematic of that era. The "round badge" refers to the distinctive circular badge that Gretsch used on its drums in the 1960s. It was placed on the shell of the drum and displayed the Gretsch logo, often in chrome metal, thus contributing to the distinctive aesthetic of Gretsch drums from that period. Regarding the types of wood used, the Gretsch 60s Round Badge drum set was typically made of maple for the shells, providing a warm and rich tone. The shells were often composed of a mixture of maple and poplar, known as "Jasper" wood. This combination offered a perfect balance between resonance and sound projection, making it a favored choice among many professional drummers of the time.
