Lil Slingy Bop Kit In Green Sparkle! Last viewed: 5 hours ago

Loading...

So I have had these Slingy 12 and 14 inch P-Stamped toms laying around for a while. They were basically free with a lot of badly re-wrapped Slingerland drums I bought about a year or so ago. They had extra pearl mounts added and boring beat up black re-wraps but they were 3 ply and had decent edges. More recently I picked up an 18 inch 3 ply Slingy Floor Tom wrapped in beat up C.O.W. that came with a Slingy 24 inch kick that I sold to cover the cost of the of the entire purchase. So my goal was to now complete a bop kit to take to an open mic I host weekly and only come out of pocket for the new rims and wrap. And my mission has finally been accomplished!

So that is the story and here are the before pics:

My donor shells! Man getting that glue off the 18 that was wrapped in C.O.W. took forever!!!!

Yep some of the wood went with the wrap removal unfortunately

TOTALLY worth resurecting the old tubs and giving em a second chance,and green sparkle to boot! BTW,I slapped on calf skins on a slingy 22 and love what they do. My 2 year old grandsun has the bug-beats on pots and pans just his dad did, which I must have passed down the gene pool. I want to recover some small shells and give him his first kit someday too!
