[COLOR="DarkRed"]Didj'a get the groupies, too ?yeah, that's what I mean. Doing a fill across the toms in that configuration....ick...I dunno, it wouldn't flow for me, ergonomically (but again, I suppose w/ practice anyone can adjust)[/COLOR]
I had my fair share of the groupies back then. I also had a few trips to the clinic too :-( At least back then the whole AIDS think was not around yet.
Hi everyone. first time forum visitor, recreational drummer for 40 odd years. I have some vintage stuff and a lot of questions that I'm sure some of you guys can help me with. So, here goes...... I've acquired what I believe to be 70's era set of maple Slingerlands and they came with 3 side toms and a very unusual arrangement of two tom holders on the bass drum, one in front of the other. When the toms are mounted in place they are in a 'triangular' position, which I find quite odd. I'm now thinking that perhaps someone along the way have added the second tom holder? Anyone out there seen one of these?
Its the Avante...Not a popular seller,,,,I put 2 of these sets together for Nigel Olsson in 1970 and he made some money....
any pics? I recently took a look at the same set up, couldn't get together on price. i'm still scratching my head about them.
