Hi Folks,
Just sharing here my latest addition to the collection.
I picked this one up from the Bay a couple of weeks ago.
The description said:
Awesome Sounding Vintage Slingerland Snare w/original Sound King Heads!! This was my Grandfathers Drum which was seldom played!!
Serial # 227364
Niles, Illinois USA
The pictures were not that good but I could see that the original heads were still on and that overall, the drum looked OK. The seller, a real stand up guy, wasn't willing to ship overseas but fortunately my good buddy Aaron (elmoonlightdrummer), collected the drum and forwarded it to me,… big thanks.
2 hours of cleaning and the result is a 100% original and clean late 1960's silver sparkle Hollywood Ace. The wrap has aged slightly towards a beautiful gold/lime/silvery color.
Oh yes,… it sounds amazing!
