Hello fellow drummers!
I recently acquired a red gloss (wrapped) 5 piece Slingerland kit. Kit was owned by a gentlemen who collected musical instruments and passed away. His family said he bought this kit used late 70s, maybe early 80s, they could not remember. He did not play them, just looked at them, but he did bought these used they said. I gave them $500 for the kit (what you see on the pic). I have always wanted a Slingerland and patiently waited for something on this range to come up. My plan is to keep these and play them :-)
I am attaching a pic of the set and a pic of one of the badges, but will post more as I clean these up, which are honestly in excellent shape, but just polishing the shells and cleaning the hardware. All hardware appears to be original.
I need help figuring out exact year/model, if possible, just for my own records. From reading/searching this site, I believe these are from 1973-1986. I think these might be the Modern Solo Outfit No.2R, but snare is not chrome, it has the same finish as rest of the kit.
Again, I'll post more pics this weekend.
Thanks again!
