This worth $400? Last viewed: 58 minutes ago

I'm trying to decide if I need another project (and where I can hide 'em from my wife). They seem to be in good shape. Comes with two 8X12 toms.

Those are not Slings...they are a Star kit, 9 ply shells from about 71. Not a penny over 200.

If they are Slingerland drums Yes 400.00 is a great price..The tom mount looks S/L to me but the strainer on the snare does not..What is the name on the badges? If set's a M.I.J. set not 200.00 more like 150.00...Mikey

Off set lugs on the floor tom, look like Star to me guys. May well be a set of Majestics. Only a couple of the St Louis Music Supply labeled Star made stencil drums use off-set lugs. I think Majestic and Apollo, maybe some of the Polaris models, but other than that, Pearl, as far as I know, did not do much in the way of off-sets. I fairly think Slingerland did not do them at all. Anyone ever seen a Slingerland with off-set lugs?

After looking closer a the photo i don't see off set lugs on the floor tom.I think it's the photo i don't see off-set lugs on the mounted toms? I know the tom mount is Slingerland i know of none of the M.I.J. set's that used a copy of the S/L mount like that...S/L necer did any off-set lugs on drums in the 60's..But i have seen them on WW2 made S/L drums..Mikey

I agree. The lugs don't look offset to me. The pedal is Slingerland for sure. The tom mount looks like Slingerland also. No way to say definitively with such a small picture since Slingerland was copied so heavily.

The tom mount looks Singerland to me as well as the pedal and straight legs on the floor tom.Those look like stick saver rims also and the lugs don't look off set to me,but as others have said,the photo is just to small to tell for sure.

To me looks like an added tom on right, pattern does not match. Also BD tom mount appears rectangular. Other than that, looks a lot like a Jet kit with wood hoops.

Also.. Front BD hoop could be original Jet chrome hoop, some guys changed batter hoops to fit different

pedals.

The rectangular Slingerland mounting plate holds a mounting device that had the large tilter ratchet borrowed from a snare drum stand. It had two "spades" for hanging the tom toms via the diamond plate with raised flat bar. That receiver is the same diameter as a Set O Matic down tube. I have used both types of holders on my Slingy drums. That drum set could be 100% Slingerland. I would have to see better pictures to be more certain. The pattern of the Satin Flame is random. The small ripples on the tom to the right may be in a small area. The fronts of the toms may be quite similar.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.
