SOLD
Price lowered to $1200
I am selling my 1977 or 1978 Slingerland Classic Rock 61N drums.
Sizes are 13, 14, 16, 18, 24, with 6 1/2" by 14 Chrome snare.
They are white pearl with virtually zero yellowing. The bottom rim of the 16" floor tom has some chrome flaking. Otherwise there is minimal (but some) light pitting on some of the rims and a few of the lug casings.
The wrap on all drums is bright, with depth, and is tight to the drums with no issues. There are no additional holes in any of the wood drums. The snare has a hole drilled above the strainer.
Below are the descriptions of the drums:
13" Tom, serial # 355215. This drum is five ply. The rest are all three ply with rerings. I believe the drums were all sold together, as the serial number fits with the others, and this was the age of Slingerland's transition to five ply drums. I can hear no difference in the drum composition. Chrome Set-o-Matic mount.
14" Tom, Serial # 362053. Chrome Set-o-Matic mount.
16" Floor Tom, Serial # 358216. Three original legs. One leg has an area of chrome missing (smaller than a pencil eraser). Original wing bolts on the leg mounts. Flaking and some pitting on bottom rim.
18" Floor Tom, Serial # 362344. Four original legs, original wing bolts on mounts.
24" Bass Drum, Serial # 362084. Four spurs with four mounts. All original. No rubber tips for spurs. Semi-gloss black hoops appear to have original paint, but that's only my best guess. Chrome hoop inlays in very good condition. Chrome Set-o-Matic mount with Super Set-o-Matic tom rack. A few of the T-handles are loose from their shaft, but none have come off.
6 1/2" Chrome snare, Serial # 362109. There is a hole drilled in the shell above the Zoomatic strainer, a small dent below the tone control, and a few minor scratches on the shell, but it looks and plays fantastic.
Overall, these drums have been a joy to own and play. However, I have been downsizing the drums I use and gig, and these drums are just too large.
I have many more photos, and can take more specific photos if requested.
Because of their size, I would prefer not to ship, but if I must, then I must.
Asking $1200.
