It might be said that Gretsch’s 125th Anniversary celebration actually lasted a bit beyond the Big Event. In fact, it lasted until mid-January of 2009. That’s when, at the 2009 NAMM show, the Music & Sound Retailer award for best drum set of 2008 was presented to . . . drum roll, please . . . the Gretsch Limited Edition 125th Anniversary Progressive Jazz set. The kit that helped launch the celebration of Gretsch’s anniversary year was itself celebrated as the best instrument of its kind, underscoring not only the Gretsch family’s appreciation of their past, but also their commitment to the future...
