The Gretsch drums are bought at Musik Bixen iin Kolding, Denmark which probably is one of the best drum shops north of the equator (!!). Check it out, they've got tons of vintage drums lying around in the shop. I bought the Yamaha drums at Tre '45 Musikk A/S in Trondheim, Norway, which is also a really great store -definately the best one there is to find in Norway..
