1966 Slingerland "Stage Band" Restore

Posts: 1685 Threads: 529

Hello Friends,

Just wanted to share with all of you my Slingerland Stage Band restoration. Here is the original thread to show what they looked like when I got them:

http://www.vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=38858&highlight=slingerland+club+date

I would like to especially thank blairndrums for helping me obtain the period correct parts for this. Thanks man!

I still need to add the badges to the drums (except the snare)-I finally located the right size eyelets so I'll be doing that soon.

I chose Green Sparkle because it just a "Slingerland Color" to me. I used a Ludwig bracket for the L-Rod Cymbal holder instead of a Slingerland...I just don't trust any cymbal holder without a eye-bolt.

These sound great and got compliments on both their looks and sound on their debut gig!

I think we can all agree: There is something sweet about "saving" drums from sheer despair.....no matter their value or collectability.

Enjoy and feedback welcomed!

Nice choice on the green sparkle wrap. I like. I don't see a lot of Stage Band's out there either. Super cool kit. And nice you have a matching snare. What model is the snare?

Glenn.

Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.
