(just looked at the Slinger Catalog link) Oh, that one.....that "New Super Sound King" with the fancy double strainer - where there you have it right there!......why, that thing's only worth $135! and this drum's got 40 years of use! "As soon as you drive it off the lot"....shooooot....
(just kidding!!!)
That's a beauty! I used to have a Tama Imperial Star, die cast hoops, with the dual strainer like that with the internal rod and all......cool drum.....but I must admit I would prefer this Slinger over that all day long! I used to have a drum very similar to this (a 1966) though did not have the original strainer. I used it alot, including recording with it. It had a great loud projecting crack - it was the 90s - it was dramatic 'alternative' rock.
The new owner of this will surely be blessed!
