The 1960s Gretsch Round Badge Kit was used by Dave Grohl during his performance in MTV Unplugged in New York
Brendan used a Gretsch round badge on the earlier Fugazi stuff and on waiting room.
Per this vintage ad, and many more ads like it, Elvin played and endorsed Gretsch kits from the start of his professional career in the very late 40s up until the 1970s. This ad is unique in that it list the exact specs of Elvin's kit from this late 60s/early 70s timeframe.
A color photo of one of Elvin's "round badge" Gretsch kits can be seen here.
