Mica Sonic Deluxe?

Loading...

Hey all - I'm new to the vintage drum forum. My true baby is a "66 Slingerland Champagne sparkle...However - recently saw a Mica Sonic Deluxe on craigslist going for $299...Ruby Strata wrap in good to very good condition...I'd like to play around with it, change heads etc and see what kind of sound I could get...Barely anything listed anywhere for mica sonic...trying to get a fix on whether the price is fair....

This one? http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/msg/5961440348.html

If so, looks like a nice little MIJ kit, maybe a little on the steep side, but does come with new AMBs all around. I can always get these kits to sound good & it's always fun!

BTW, Welcome to the forum! There's lots of info here on these MIJ kits, their history & how to maximize their potential.

1964 Ludwig Champagne Super Classic
1970 Ludwig Blue Oyster Super Classic
1977 Rogers Big R Londoner 5 ebony
1972/1978 Rogers Powertone/Big R mix ebony
60's Ludwig Supersensitive
Pearl B4514 COB snare ( the SC snare)
Pearl Firecracker
PJL WMP maple snare
Odds & Sods

Sabians, Paistes, Zildjians, Zyns, UFIPs, MIJs etc
Item may be subject to change!

I think I know you! You're on one of the MIJ groups, on Facebook? I recognized your pics. That's a great looking kit.

Yeah that's the one! I thought it's a bit steep too, but a cool little sort of mod kit!
