Hey all,
Just recently picked up a mid 60's slingerland solo in absolutely mint conditiion..the set was packed away in a gentlemens closet (in the house not the basement or attic) and looks like it just came out of a show room
I prematurely went out and bought some replacement heads (similar to what I have on a much new pearl set) installed and sounds ok..the heads I put on were evans ec2's with g1 reso..
I think with these heads I am not getting the full sound of these masterpieces..they work good on the newer drums with the razor edge seating surfaces to control overtones and such but I don't think I made the right decision for the slingerlands..I just bought a single remo ambassador and reused the original reso on one of the toms and the sound is amazing..
any body have any suggestions for good combination for this vintage..I have 2-12, 16 and bass..also bought and restored a beautiful radioking..
