Picked this one up a few days ago.
She's an eight-lugger, looks correct aside from a washer I added on the mounting screw for the muffler.
The Zoomatic was working just fine, but I put a spring in her for a little more snap when engaging and disengaging.
Cool kevins!!
Love the wrap man!
Wow, Kev, what a sweet drum! Damn thing looks new, like right out of the box. I bet if you pull the heads off, it even has, 'new drum smell' inside!
A beauty. Don't know where you find them all. Well 'some' anyway! lol

Wowzers. That's a sweet looking drum. Curious about the spring comment. Can you point me to the elaborative link?

Thanks guys, for the good words! Cool Dude
I've actually layed eye's on this Red Sparkle beauty, shes a real looker!!!Cool Dude
I love the Artist snare drums! I've had quite a few over the years, in both 3-ply and solid maple versions. My first one was a Champagne Sparkle version, which I purchased from Vintage Drum Center many years ago, back when his prices where reasonable! To my surprise, and Ned's, I was sent a solid-maple Artist. What a great drum that was! I currently have a Slingerland 1967 4pc, with a matching Silver Sparkle Artist. I had a Vaughncraft solid maple shell, 5.5x14 just sitting around, so I had it set up as an Artist drum. Moved over all the hardware from the original 3-ply drum. What a fantastic drum it is! Don't worry, I'm hanging onto the original 3-ply shell!
