Would anyone know who is now distributing the "Imported" Slingerland Drums.
"Music Yo" says they are no longer doing it and didn't know who was.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can't find any "imported" Slingerland drums becuase there aren't any... not anymore anyway. Slingerland, as a company, was bought and is now owned by: Gibson/Tobias. All the building, assembly, pearl, etc. is now out of Conway, Arkansas, and has been since 2001 I believe. I could be wrong on that date, but that is where you will find Slingerland today. MusicYo is out of the picture... or any other company for that matter. Left over MusicYo Slingerland drums ARE still out there though, and do show up from time to time on eBay. Here's the link to Slingerland today: http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Divisions/Slingerland/ Also of interest:
Gibson OWNS MusicYo and still uses them for overseas made import gear... but not drums. Slingerland is now EXCLUSIVE to Conway, Arkansas, although their dealer network appears to be almost non-existent.
