I got this set back in 1977. They are in very good/excellent condition with original lugs, tension rods, hoops and bottom heads-everything is original except the heads. The bottom heads even have the Slingerland stamp on them. The cymbals are not the original ones in the picture, however, I still have the 14 inch hi-hats, 15 inch crash and 18 inch ride that I got when I was 5 yrs old back in 1965. The bass pedal is a Yellow Jacket since the original pretty much bit the dust. I had to always keep extra leather straps with the original pedal. They have the black and silver badge on all drums. The 8 and 10 inch toms I got several years later in 1979.
The drums are: 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 inch floor tom and a 20 inch bass drum. The snare is 14x5. I'll have to get better close up pictures as these were just taken at the last minute after I put new heads on them. The 14 and 15 inch toms are not shown-I just didn't have them up at the time. I still use these today-nothing like the sound of Slingerland drums to me. They have always sounded great in the studio and out live. Love the deep rich tone these drums have. Wouldn't trade them for anything. I know others would disagree-but that's cool. Thought I'd share them with everyone. Please post comments on them. I'd like to hear from you.
