Hi
I am asking about slingerland 3-ply shells with the re-rings. Would a 1969-70 shell sound the same as say as 1975? I'm asking because if I buy seperate drums and make a set, I would like them to fit with each other.
Thanks

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I would say yes, they would sound the same.
Slingy switched their inner/outer plys over time between mahogany and maple...but, the general "spec" of the drum, the thickness of teh shell, the bearing edge, etc...remained pretty consistent.
....the older ones, the black/gold badge Chicagos and earlier...their edges were a bit different, not quite the same profiles....but once you get into like '63 up to mid-70's, if it is a re-ring shell, IMHO they match sonically pretty well.....I do it all the time, make a kit up from orphans, and yes, always match the shell spec as close as you can.
I don't much care if one of the badges is a gold/black Niles while the other two are silver/black...and thus far, none of my buyers have cared, either....[/COLOR]
