Slingleedy...genuine? Last viewed: 49 minutes ago

Posts: 63 Threads: 14

Hi

I think about buying this set: http://fr.audiofanzine.com/kit-batterie/slingerland/leedy-made-by-slingerland/petites-annonces/i.382883.html

Do you think it is a great opportunity? Does it seem all original?

And any idea of the quality of those drums (sound & build)?

Thanks !!!

Totally just as a heads up,...I`m always weary when the weathering on the badge don`t match the weathering on the finnish,...as in this kit !!

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

you mean there has been a re-wrap?

I had the same intuition...

You wouldn't buy it?

Thanks,

thanks.

Bunnyman, I just read your blog. I have had a bad experience with my Lud Millenium Through off too...

One of the little screws went away and made the through -off "go off when on" if you see what I mean.

I just put a 70s P85 to replace it. I am a bit disappointed. I do not know where to find the missing screw.

I suspect it, yes....I don`t know if they mention that in the ad because I can`t translate it !!

Have you taken the remaining screw to a hardware store to find a match in France ? If you want original,... guys with spare drum parts are here all the time !! Ya may get lucky !!

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

Not mentioning re-wrap but surely looks like,...

The ad says:

3 shell drum kit (22 "16" 13 "). 3-ply shells: poplar / mahogany / poplar.

It is in exceptional condition. Early sixties when Ludwig sold Leedy to Slingerland.

I also have a Slingerland snare drum for sale in another ad.

it was always played in the recording studio as it was the studio's drum kit. it has been maintained perfectly.

See the pictures (these are the pictures of the actual kit for sale).

Maybe the wrap was cleaned and the badge left alone?
