Mike,,Wow, beautiful just beautiful, Sizes?? 20"- 13"-16- 5 1/2x14"??? am i right. and 1960 kit to boot, the push button tom mounts have a tendency to slip while you are playing, they will drive you bonkers, swap em for a newer t bolt model, thanks for sharing them with us,Cool1Cool1

thanks! 20-13-16- snare is 5x14 i believe. I haven't measured it yet.

thanks for the advice on the ft mounts but they are working great so far! i put a TON of weight on them to see if they held and they held amazingly well!

It will only happen while you are playing them, yeah some of them still work, as long as they do leave them alone,, your snare is 5 1/2 great kit!!!

I have decided to offer a cure for the 'vintage drum bug'. Send that kit to me and you'll feel so much better in the long run...

haha i know about that bug. thanks for the info vintagemore!

funny fish! hahaaaa

lots of work, took everything apart the past few weeks steel wooled the hardware. it paid off though, they look great and sound killer. the sustain is nothing like ive heard before.

i was thinking of touching up the black on the bd hoops but i sort of dig the wear on that.

I wouldn't touch a thing on that kit. Man oh man. That is a work of art. Absolutely stunning.

Grab yourself some Slingy flat base stands. Beauty.

Mike!...

Very nice set of Slingerland's indeed!... but that said, I think you have the rack tom upside down as the seam shouldn't be in front. Certainly not a criticism, just an observation. Enjoy!!
