Hi All, No shots of the bearing edges but maybe someone can share their expertise on this drum. I have tried to find out by going to the Slingy articles on this site as well as checking out the Rob Cook book but I have come up with nothing definitive regarding if this is 1 ply or not. I assumed all RK from this era were 1 ply. I do know that Slingerland produced 3 ply RK's later on . I don't know what year ..... Here is a shot of the strainer and badge. Unfortunately that is all I have to go on..... Thanks

In the course of this convoluted thread, I don't think anyone's addressed the easiest answer to your question... remove a head and it will be obvious.

Well thanks. I don't have the drum in my possession which is part of the reason why I have the questions.

Can you have someone trustworthy do it for you?

Even without any other visual reference, a single ply is easily differentiated from a striated 3 ply. It should also be the same color as the re-rings on the interior, as opposed to a darker inner mahogany ply.

Well she has arrived! 1 ply beauty. The top rim looks like COB and the bottom looks like NOB but I could be wrong. The snare wires are original too! It's a great drum.

Thanks for all your replies.

yeah these guys can confuse you!!! I'm still trying to figure what year my slingerland RK is. one says it's a fifty's I say it's a forty's but it has thirty lugs on it. So guess we can say it is a Slingerland lol If any body would like to take a guess at what year mine is go for itflowers2

thanks

no that is'nt the badge. real close but not it. mine is a stamped badge has slingerland across the top. quauitly drums in middle on both sides of vent, on the bottom Chicago Ill. USA. it is an oval shape like the one you showed me. \Mine may be the next badge change from the badge you showed me.I've included a picture of the badge it's not real clear, but it's the best i can do for now.

OK forget the badge your photos I can't tell, look at the the 3 point strainer it is from 1950-1958, look at this link. your drum is a 50's model! http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/drcjw/article_5_strainers_3point-8.html
