Slingerland Snare Drum Question

Loading...

I just got this Slingy snare. Can anyone give me any info on what model this one is? I just noticed that hole by the throw :confused: Thanks guys:wave:

It looks like a late 70's Krupa Sound King, 6.5 x 14, with a replacement no brand throw off. Probably sounds great, with the deep COB shell, but definitely a player since it has the extra hole in the shell. Play it and enjoy it!

So the extra hole was for the original throw arm? Is that a part that I could find pretty easy?

Those are unoriginal hoops as well. Probably wouldn't be worth finding the original strainer...since the drum already has an extra hole or two, there isn't a lot of vintage collectible-ness (!?!). I'd clean it up and enjoy it as is. That's probably a brass shell. (It would look cooler with the correct rims and tension rods, but it would be probably just as cheap to get a whole new drum as it would be to replace the parts.

If it's a good sounding drum, then you're a winner!

Clean it, put a smiley face sticker (have a nice day) over the hole, and play it. It's a very nice snare. That throwoff is a pretty good one. Those hoops will hold that head down just fine. So long as you didn't pay an arm and a leg for it, you will enjoy the heck out of it. Seriously cool snare. COB snares are really neato. Put some R&B on the iPod and groove deep.

The throw off is actually giving me a little trouble. When its engaged the chains are tight but it has this hollow sounds like they're not tight. But if i have the throw a little disengaged then it sounds like a snare??? I just need to take it to get it fixed.
