1965 Slingerlane Snare doubt...

Posts: 27 Threads: 4

Hello.

I recently purchased this snare:

The following link has 39 more detailed pictures:

At first I could not believe how good is the drum hardware and overall appearance of it. I thought it may had been restored but, taking apart some lugs revealed "first time marks" on the wood that I could not believe. The hoops are surely COB and also have a great shine. A minor wear is noticed only on some lugs.

Can you guys pinpoint the exact model that is? I read about it and thought it could be a student model, but the 1965 Slingerland catalog does not show any student models sporting "stick saver" hoops.

I really would like to dig into further info about this snare. Since I play in a 50/60's style band and am trying to add a more vintage sound, more info on this snare would really spicy things up, with the help from you.

I am also interested in opinions about if was it restored or not. Everything on it looks very new, even better than my Pearl's snare which I restored a year ago! This snare must have had some time on a desert to be so rust-free...LOL...

Oh, one more important thing: the serial number. #83590...mmmm...it surely is from the era stamped inside ('65)...the weird thing is that googling it, I could find ANOTHER model sporting the same serial number (the snare was totally lousy if compared, and was sold on the same WEEK I bought mine, in a different state)...is that common??? I mean, two snares with the same serial number?

Thanks a lot.

Jeffo.

your snare is The deluxe student model, it looks all original, slingerland used double dipped chrome so it holds up much better than Ludwig's did!! so this drum will more than feel the needs your looking for!! I've never seen the same serial # Duplicated before!

Slingerland reset their serial numbers at some point so dupes have to exist. Now sold in the same week that's pretty cool

My gosh...forty five years and almost no scratches, I'm just impressed! Thanks for the info.

Still puzzled by the serial thing...

Here's your Deluxe Student Model as VTM2000 stated with Sticksaver, or Rim Shot hoops.

From our '65 catalog in the Drum Guide.

I just downloaded that page from the VDF vault, thanks!

Having a hard time trying to get the cover for that catalog...know of it?

Uploading a 1965 pearl finishes catalog, not sure if the forum has it already.

Hummm...the typo on the title I fixed on my first post editing didn't go through the forum...

You aren't allowed to change the titles. I have tried it many times because my new keyboard is too big and my fingers mess up all the time and I misspell a lot of words.

mmm...was in progress of getting a new job last year...cool that everything worked out smoothly...some months later I joined a rockabilly band that is going good around here and it's been fun (maybe Viva Las Vegas someday???)...but then time went scarce so I disappeared a bit...oh, there it goes:

Annie & The Malagueta Boys

And my restoration job was basically to get my pearl in decent concert condition...and since I have many hobbies....sometimes I have problems trying to keep up with everything :D

Otherwise, I'm around... : )

Warm regards and thanks for the friendly atmosphere here...rare in forums nowadays!

Jeffo.
