hi, i JUST bought myself a slingerland kit in the sizes:

13(ser:212927)-14(ser:212941)-16(ser:212289)-24(ser:212984)

(are the serial numbers always different?)

I don't know the original finish yet, but now it's clear wood with a kind of a darkclear paint on it.(NOT original.)

i bought at a drumhop where it was traded for an electric drumset and the shopowner was going to ask the previous owner of the kit if he knew what original finish was.

I also got a basspedal with it wich has a blue finish and a aluminum footrest wich say's: "Slingerland" Chicago USA.

the frame say's : DP 938

the footrest say's : 803-10 and a logo with CWMP in it.

the badge is a football black & silver Niles 73-86

following the timeline, the production year is about 76-77

i think the shells are a 3ply mayple-poplar-mahony with solid maple reinforcement rings following the guide of this website.

Can you guys tell me somethings about my kit or what type/serie it is?

it's my first one and could be anything.

I also like some tips about what kind of skins to order.

I know i like the sound of coated single ply heads.

i play in a punk/hardrock kindof band and like the drumsound of 70's rock bands like blue cheer and pentagram

i also don't know what to order as a batter head.(coated,not coated- thick,thin)

THANKS a LOT in advance,

i already like the sound of it altough it has pinstripes on it.

HALLEE!band3
