Man, those are beautiful.

What year are they?

Which badge is that ?

Truly striking !!

I think it`s 60s here is the badge

I got them as a package deal like this:

I always intended them just to be a nice players kit with mutant hardware- I have other stuff if I need to look real pretty. I am really happy you guys like them too- I am having alot of fun playing them these days.

Yep, about '68 or so, those are sweet.

Any more where those came from???

I`ll post some more pics later- the 15x12 has turned into a nice bop micro bass drum- very portable with a decently dark sound. It partners with that badge-less mutant you see on the right- which is a REMO Acousticon 14x8. It was orignally a snare but is now a versatile tom (hyper drive sized) - 14x8 can get tuned high or low with a nice sound. It works out to a 3 piece kit- snare, 15x12 bass and 14x8 tom- very portable for rehearsals and some street shows. Pics laterSumo Dude

I don`t want to hijack this thread- those Craigslist Slingys are great- who`s gonna do it?

Wow, those shells are killer! They are original Slingerland??

hey there, yes -the four in the photo- 2 bird`s eye maple from around 68 and then two standard maple from early 70s. The only non-Slingerland drum there is the bottom right which is a REMO Acousticon. As I said it was a package- you had to take them all.
