Gretsch USA Custom White Nitron kit

Phil Collins has used a Gretsch USA Custom White Nitron 6-ply shell drum kits during the mid-1980s, all with concert tom-toms. The kit comprises the following drums:
 * 20" bass drum
 * 8" tom
 * 10" tom
 * 12" tom
 * 15" tom
 * 16" floor tom
 * 18" floor tom

There were three of this same drum kit: one was supposedly a studio kit (later ended up in Los Angeles and sold via charity auctions), one a North American touring kit (owned by an ex-roadie) and another in England (presumably still in Phil's collection). And these were the first Gretsch kits Phil received in Spring 1983 following his endorsement deal with the company, whose drums he always cherished for their lovely sound since early in his drumming career. Up until them he was using a Pearl DLX kit for live work, and switched to Gretsch for the Robert Plant Principle Of Moments tour in August 1983, and continued to use the Gretsch kits mainly as touring kits until his purchase of the black kit around 1987.

Although he preferred the Premier black kit for recording, he did occasionally use a Gretsch for that purpose as well. Such as when he took one of his Gretsch kits down for a demo session with Sting for his new solo album and also for the session for Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas" single. And also Invisible Touch at least.
