hey everybody, i went and took a look at a slingerland kit recently. there's some scratches, mostly on top of the bass drum, but other then that the kit is in pretty good condition. and it sounds killer.
8x12 (serial #520547)
9x13 (serial #518036)
16x16 floor tom(serial #522000)
14x22 bass drum(serial #515181) (maple hoops)
serial numbers and the badge look puts it at late 70s/early 80s. it has natural stain finish. toms were 3 ply, forgot to check the bass. the inside of the toms had a blackish speckle paint(i think this was normal?). price is $265, i think i could pick it up for $250. i'm mostly wondering if this is a good deal and how durable these drums are. i play in a pretty active hardcore/metal band so as much as i'd love a vintage set i need one that can take some abuse too.
