Info on Black Confetti finish Slingerland Snare

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

Hi! I would love whatever info you can give me on this snare. I'm new to vintage drums, but found this little gem and would like to know a little more about it. The badge seems to date it from the mid 60's to early 70's, but that's all I know for now. Thanks!!

The finish on your drum is Slingerland's Capri Pearl, which was offered by the company from 1958 through 1963.

The Slingerland Black & Brass Niles badge with serial number as on your drum was manufactured between the years of 1962 and 1970.

Based on the above, I'd say your drum was manufactured sometime around 1962 or 1963.

Thanks for the quick reply! That narrows it's birthday down more specifically than I thought!
