Gretsch G5495S Die Cast Hoop Snare Side 14" 10-Hole Hoop

Interesting disappointment,

Although the hoops were nicely sealed in bags within the heavily stapled boxes, they came in. the hoops themselves were heavily pitted and oxidized. to the point that they were literally crumbling in some places. like they had been left outside for an extended time? they were completely unusable. had to throw them out. - so much for Gretsch quality.
