Possible Record

Posts: 683 Threads: 96

OK gang, I think I may have found a new record for extra holes in a drum...

32 extra holes in 9x13...yes 32...30's Slingerland tom..poor thing. Other than the swiss cheese it's in pretty good shape.

I had this thing sitting for a couple of months and knew is had extra holes but hadn't taken the time to count. I have decided to go ahead and try to salvage it. Wish me luck. No hoops and most of the lugs were gatored so this one will take some time.

49 - WFL Ray McKinley - 26, 13, 16
58 - Slingerland Duco
58 - Slingerland Krupa Deluxe
70 - Ludwig Champagne Sparkle - 20, 12, 14
70 - Ludwig Champagne Sparkle - 22 (need), 13, 16
And some others..

Any idea as to why the holes? Was someone using it as a grater or something?

Best of luck, however!

Jaye has a good idea...

Is this a religious drum? Because, it seems really "holy".

You guys are too funny... I have looked and looked at this thing and can't figure out what was going on with it. It looks like it may have been a calf skin bottom drum but there are no tack holes..4 different muffler locations..it's really strange.

I've got 36 extra, but they don't count as much 'cause they're on a 14x22 bass drum. 32 extra on a 9x13 seems like there are more holes than shell! No rhyme or reason to the ones on my bass....Aside from the obvious (different leg mounts, different tom mounts), there's a good 20 something pointless drillings.

In my defense, a guy was throwing it in with some other shells I bought and I couldn't resist.

Maybe these drums came from someone who didn't like playing with a click and preferred the groove to "breathe" a bit. This one may have actually had a sinus condition.
