Slingerland Price Check

Loading...

I'm looking for any opinions on the value of this 5ply Slingerland kit. There are minor scratches, but no extra holes, thanks.

Their value, of course, is what someone will pay. If they were mine, and I actually wanted them to sell, I would be asking $750. If I were looking to purchase, I would find a three ply kit. But that's just me.

I'm also going to go with $750. Maybe just a tad more, depending on how the stars are aligning on any specific day! My very first pro Slingerland kit was an 80N with 5-ply shells. I really had tuning issues due to the sharp 45-degree edges and that Slingerland just couldn't get a good level to the edges. Having such a sharp bearing edge demands level edges! A good tech can level those edges. Still, I've always like the 3-ply shells better.

I also noticed that the bass drum mount is positioned very close to the front, suggesting that the original tom holder was the Super Setomatic.
