I would just like to learn from you guys/gals a little about what you know about Slingerland marching drums.Tubelugs, perhaps you can just share something about a drum you own if you would?Perhaps I should just ask: If you own a Slingerland marching drum, would you post a picture if possible and share what you know about your drum?Maybe that would be easier, and there won't be too many duplicates that way.Sorry if there was any confusion.Thanks
With all due respect, this sounds more like a fishing expedition than an actual attempt to refurb any drums. I don't understand why you won't help people help you by identifying the era of drums you want to refurb, post some pictures, and detail exactly what you want to learn for your restoration.
I have something like a dozen Slingie marching snares, ranging from a 1930s presentation drum with silver commemorative plaque to a NOS late '80s model - in original Slingerland box - using a Stingray strainer Slingerland never catalogued. Also at least two Slingerland marching percussion catalogues. But what's the incentive to pull them out of the attic and photograph them when I don't even know if they're relevant to the drums you say you want to restore?
