Just saying "Hello" as I am new to the forum.

I've been playing for 27 years and I started on the beautiful Slingerland kit pictured. I started with just the bass drum and ride tom, (don't have my original snare.) The floor tom is a later Slingerland model that I rewrapped to somewhat match the color of the more vintage pieces. If it's cool, I'd like to post more detailed pictures to try and ascertain a more specific year of production. I've read through the articles concerning badges, wraps, shells etc, and I think I have a good idea of the year in which each drum was produced, but I'm hoping for more expert advice and analysis. The kit pictured is complimented with a newer model Slingerland copper snare drum; I believe it is an imported model. Pictured also is some of my Mapex hardware and some of my favorite Zildjian cymbals, and a Sabian ride. The kit only came with one complete tom mount so I modified the other one and I’m utilizing it as a LP jam block mount.

Glad to be a part of this community,

Peace,
