A highly desirable and rare 14x4 Progressive Jazz model from one of the most iconic drum manufacturers. This exceptional, all-original example comes from a dedicated collector and easily earns a solid 10/10 for condition, originality, and performance.

Built with the classic 3-ply shell construction of the era, it delivers that warm, punchy tone with outstanding sensitivity and projection. It retains all of its vintage character—from the brass badge to the Micro Sensitive throw-off—showcasing the craftsmanship Gretsch became famous for.

The 14x4 configuration, long associated with the Progressive Jazz era and players like Max Roach, offers a crisp, articulate response with a tight, controlled feel—perfect for bebop and beyond.

A true piece of 1960s drum history that plays every bit as beautifully as it looks—an outstanding collector’s piece and a top-tier player’s drum.
