Hello learned drum experts,

I am thinking about selling my 1977 Slingerland Classic Rock 61N set in White Pearl. I am wondering what you think would be a fair asking price.

It has a 14x24 bass, 13 and 14” ride toms, and 16 and 18” floor toms. Interestingly, all of the drums are three-ply with re-rings EXCEPT the 13”, which is five ply. I think the drums were sold this way as a set, as the serial number on the 13 actually precedes all of the others. All of the drums have clear interiors and attached badges in the 350xxx - 360xxx range. The pearl wrap is in very good condition with minimal yellowing - almost none at all. All of the seams are flat and tight. Upon close examination, there is a very slight variation in hue between the 13” (five-ply) drum and the rest.

I added a 12” tom (3-ply) which was previously a concert tom. Someone added the lower lugs. Two ways you can tell this is what happened: tack marks on the wrap (under the drum head rim) where the trim had been attached, and; no tone control.

The set includes a 6.5 x 14 chrome snare. The snare has the zoomatic strainer, although there is a hole in the shell above the strainer.

I will also include a matching white pearl, 10-lug 5 x 14 snare with a “slapshot” strainer.

Also, I added two concert toms. I recovered them in white pearl from Precision, but they do not match the rest of the set very well. The toms are 8 and 10” diameters with extended depth.

All of the chrome is in very good to excellent condition. There are a few areas of tarnishing on a few rims and tension bolts.

I would include a double tom stand, Rocket snare stand, Dynamo hi-hat stand, Tempo King pedal, Super Set-O-Matic tom mount, and a one-eared Set-O-Matic tom mount to mount the 12” tom to a stand.

Any input would be appreciated. I really love the sound of these drums, so I may not find anything that competes, but I think a downsize may be in order.

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.

Josh
