Here you go. Maybe not as nice as I originally thought. I'm new to this, and I'm no photographer.

Maple/poplar/mahogany 12,13,16,20

Cool kit... But you have them set up backwards.

Hey welcome, congrats and all. Nice Slingerlands! Looks like a 1st generation Set-O-Matic tom holder on those too. Very cool. If you need more angle just turn the set o matic mount 180* but it will put the toms a bit further from you. Enjoy~!

Post a pic of the blue stave in the pics. what kind of wood is it made of? love that stain.

Thanks for the tip. The snare is curly maple. Its an aniline dye. First coat black, sanded back, then blue, sanded back, then electric blue, with a shellac top coat

Everybody knows drum kits go left to right in the southern hemisphere, and right to left in the northern hemisphere. Opposite of water going down the drain.

Welcome to the forum, fellow Canuck......to answer your question, in my opinion....not really, but........a cracked Vistalite drum, especially the bass drum does really devalue the kit and make it less desirable. I have a 1978 Vistalite "Smoke" kit in great shape, with NO cracks....the sizes are special 26, 20, 18, 15, 14.....I paid this kit $2100......does that put it into perspective? Hope that helps. All the best, enjoy the forum.

Thanks freedom, that does help. I also wasn't sure about the pattern and color, and if that made them more valuable, or less valuable. That was my first older kit, and those bearing edges were keeping me up at night. These slingerlands are in much better shape, now I need a nice old snare.

Here's the pics for those who asked. I'll stop polluting the vintage forum with these staves. Thanks for all the help.

That is one beautiful set of Slingerlands! Excellent trade and welcome to the Forum!

The Slingys are nice and those "swirl" pattern vistas are more rare.......enjoy friend
