I have been thinking about Slingerland DuAll snare drums and was wondering how many survivors are out there. Because the drums were only produced for about a year (1933-34), they are quite rare. I have one DuAll and I know a few other collectors who own several. The Duall snare mechanism was one of the most complicated strainers at that time.
So, who owns a Slingerland DuAll?

Here are some photos of a 1933-34 Slingerland DuAll in Sparkling Gold Pearl....

I own a few: 5x14 Rose Pearl, Green Sparkle, Gold Sparkle, BDP (Artgold hardware), Mahogany, Black Lacquer (Artgold hardware), Maple (6.5x14) and WMP (6.5x14)...there may be 1-2 more but I'd have to go look in my cabinets...

Check under the couch, Mike. There may be one or two under there, as well.
Mark, thanks, man they are so good looking.
Awaiting some photos from Mike Curotto....

Hi, Dave! So you were lurking in the background! Thanks for posting those photos. That Full Dress set looks superb. Interesting how some Full Dress Slingerland snare drums did not put a badge on them- just the bass drum. Yours has both. Great looking drums!!!!!
