For sale or trade: 14x14 Black Diamond Pearl Slingerland. No badge, it's not missing, there was never a badge on this drum. The experts can tell us what era it's from. 3 ply mahogany with maple re-rings. Missing both hoops. Has push button lugs for the straight legs that need new "buttons". People here say I shouldn't re-wrap so I'm offering it for sale or would trade for less collectible drums. Make me an offer. Pictures by Monday (June 21)
Slingerland 14x14 BDP Last viewed: 3 hours ago
Finely, here are some pictures of the drum. I have no idea what a fair price would be. Can somebody help me price this drum so I will know if I want to sell, trade or restore. Thanks guys!
Sorry, I had to compress this photo. It shows a small black circle just left of center on the shell and some stains that are hard to see.. I wanted everybody to see it. Drum has a missing mount screw on one of the leg mounts as well as the missing muffler. I need a complete 60's Slingerland 3 ply 9x13 tom to recover (shell with bad wrap). Three straight floor tom legs as well as the chrome BD slide mount (W&A?) for a Slingerland project. Thanks again!

Do you mean marine pearl ??, unless I'm color blind?? this pic is black diamond pearl on mine!
There is a marine pearl 20" kick and 12" rack on ebay right now, would go perfect with this floor tom. http://cgi.ebay.com/Slingerland-1964-Green-Marine-Pearl-/320550543283?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa24d1fb3 Also comes with a later import snare. Good price, but the s&h is quite a bit.
So this is Marine Pearl not faded BDP? My bad,
I had emailed the ebay gent. I'm still awaiting a reply with more pics. If those look good, I would be interested in purchasing this floor tom. But, I will stay out of the way until I hear back from the other gent. Thanks. This is a sweet floor.
I looked at the BD, tom, and import snare on E-Bay. Doesn't $150 for shipping seem a little high? If you add the shipping and his Buy It Now it comes to $500. The snare is a $50 drum (maybe) then that's $450 for the bass and tom, is that the going price now for 60's Slingerland? At this point I'm really confused about pricing in this slow economy. I would really like to have those drums to go with my 14x14 but the price seems way high. Is it or is it me? :confused:
Hence, my email. I'm not stupid enough (well, maybe just a bit) to pay that much for those drums. I need to know the condition of the drums prior to "making an offer". I would never pay that buyitnow price, nor would I pay that shipping. It's over the top. But, if the drums are in good condition (which you can't tell by the pics or description posted), I would consider making a fair offer with fair shipping costs. That's what I'm awaiting.
150 shipping..... what a joke that place is. I am telling you, that ebay is about 90% bottom feeders and 10% legit. He should freakin' drive the damned thing to your house for 150 IMO!!
have a wonderful evening
