Parts for Silvertone Drum Set

Loading...

My first post!

I am learning a bit about early 60s and 70s drums after starting to restore a Silvertone kit. It's my only retro-kit, and I realize that I could easily spend a bit more more and add some decent hardware but it's nice to keep the entire kit looking authentic. It certainly adds to the vibe!

I am looking for a hi-hat pedal to add to the rinky-dink Silvertone hi-hat hardware. This missing part likely would have been a stamped metal pedal with a rod/bar at the toe end. The bar would hang on the hook that extends out of the hi-hat hardware. My guess is you readers know exactly the kind of pedal I am talking about!

In my youth, I collected parts of drum sets just like this simple pedal, but I have long since gotten rid of parts like that. Do any readers know where I could source a simple pedal like that?

Just thought I would let everyone know I found a local seller who is offering me an older "Pro-pedal" hi-hat stand....appears to be just what I need.

Look forward to learning more on this forum.

Welcome aboard!

"Pro Pedal" was a line of bass drum pedals and hihats of "Star" back in the 60's/ early 70's.

You may have a look at my website (see below).

How have you made out with your search. What year are your silvertones? I also have a 70's set which I love to play and gig with regularily. Here are some pics of the kit as I got it. Got it from a gentlman who's uncle owned it from new. I presume everything with this kit is all origenal. Hope this helps.
