Slingerland 1979 finishes Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Posts: 177 Threads: 45

I recently bought a Slingerland Oakwood laquer 1979 kit.

Why were these wood finishes only available in the 1979 catalog?

Was 1979 somekind of anniversary year, or were business just slow on these finishes?

I think they look awesome :-)

Dude! I just bought one, too. Amazingly clean looking drums. How 'bout some pics of yours. What sizes did you nab?

I´m restoring them as we speak, but I can put out some pictures later.

I also have the Traveler set-up.

Additionally they offered Rosewood, Cherry and Teak ( ! )

I've been hammering a 1979 in Red Gloss pearl for decades

My 1st wife picked them out, ( long story ) Kiss

Last night, with Vintage Ambs they just sang...

IMHO, 1979 was the last gasp...

Great Score!

You are the luckiest Slingy man this week. I can't believe you tapped not one but two rare 79 finishes. That's just too cool for school.

Sometimes you really get lucky, I guess :-)
