I feel bad for Jim Petty. He gets it from all kinds on eBay. If half of them were telling the truth, poor old Jim woulda been locked away by now.

lucky!...That is CORRECT on the snare attachment for the "Artist" series snare drums: Extended butt with metal strap, snare cord to the Zoomatic. I have a near MINT 1968 Slingerland Buddy Rich "Artist" in the BR snare drum collection, and it has it's original wires, still in perfect condition. I'll attach a pic of the snare side detail. ENJOY!!Tommyp

Tommy,

Thanks so much for the pic and answer to a question that has been plaguing me for a while now!! Are they 20 strand wires?

I remember years ago the first thing a lot of Slingy lovers did was remove the extended butt-side "comb-over" wires. They were a pain in the a$$ to deal with if you were a weekend warrior. Personally, I loved them, but they were too much to ask of someone that couldn't even tune a drum. Most guys I knew pulled them & installed standard 14's...of course, I gladly gave them a couple bucks for these "worthless wires"!

As to the worth of the kit, I could build 6, 4-piece kits to the same specs, with better & more reliable hardware. Gladstone is currently building the MPM (Mahogany/Poplar/Mahogany) in the same thicknesses (.0625/.125/.0625) as the 3 ply Slingy shells of old. In the end, an instrument like this is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay...as a good friend of mine, who builds shells for me said, "they're just tubes with metal hanging off of them".
