1971 Modern Solo 2R/New Rock 50N just by switching hardware!

Which raises the question: if one owns a Modern Solo 2R or New Rock 50N, but has no Slingerland hardware, which kit is it?

Since mine is in blue agate, the only color they ever showed the New Rock in the catalogs, I call it a "New Rock."

However, I acquired a pair of no-name flat-based stands to use with them.

At that point, did my kit become a Modern Solo?

Also, earlier this year I bought a '62 Student Model Radio King in red sparkle. The sound of the drum was not doing it for me, so out of curiosity I swapped a set of stick saver hoops on it.

Oddly enough, I like the sound much better with the COS sticksavers rather than the COB double flanges.

What I want to know is, is my drum now a Hollywood Ace? Or is it a SMRK with swapped hoops? If I died tomorrow and nobody knew about the change on the drum, my drum stuff would be sold off including what any expert would call a Hollywood Ace and a stray set of COS double flange hoops with clips.

It is, and that's a 26" BD! Looks right in context as opposed to looking huge.

This kit is a bunch of orphans wrapped with jaminsams WMP, the only kit I ever used actual drum wrap on. I love this kit, thanks again to Glenn for the 18" floor tom shell and hoops!

This is my Slingerland 6 lug snare drum collection. Just missing a few colors (Yellow Tiger, White Tiger, and White Fiesta Pearl). I try to collect just Black and Brass Niles Badge six lug snares, but a few others have come into my collection from earlier and later years as well.

I've never been a big fan of BDP...except when it's Slingerland's large-chip BDP! Beautiful drums!
