Gretsch "Name Band" white kit

The Gretsch "Name Band" white kit was Phil Collins' first Gretsch drum kit, before becoming an endorsee of the company in the mid-1980s. As attributed, the drum kit is of the Gretsch "Name Band" drum kit outfit (sans snare), later customised with an added Premier tom and Gretsch floor tom.

This was used by Phil mainly for studio and recording work during the first half of the 1970s. This included all the Genesis albums from Nursery Cryme (1971) to A Trick Of The Tail (1976), Brand X's Unorthodox Behaviour, Brian Eno amongst others.

Concerts-wise: with Genesis, he played the Gretsch (with an added Premier tom) on the Selling England By The Pound tour between 1973 and 1974, before switching to Premier drums for Genesis gigs. Even after that, he stayed with the Gretsch for mid-1970s Brand X performances as it was a more personal kit to him, thus it was more comfortable to play experimental jazz music with.
