Hi and congratulations on a great site!
I bought this Slingerland kit recently sizes 20,13,16 in Champagne sparkle unfortunately with no snare. As you can see from the photos the covering is in good condition for its age (serial 165xxx- 1967/69 approx. from Dr.CJW's serial no.graph).
The kick drum has been drilled to fit a tom mount prior to the one that is on there now. I've looked for pictures of kits of similar vintage and they all seem to have the traditional 'rail' style tom mount,which i thought was on mine originally but there is no sign of the holes to fit that style of mount.
So I'm wondering if I actually have the original tom mount on there now, put back on the kick after it was 'butchered' as the attachment on the 13" tom looks like it may be original also.
Also the inner ply in the kick drum seems to have split, not from being misused but I think its from the factory? Any suggestion to stop it from getting worse? Could you tell me what these shells are made from, if its any clue there is a 'p' printed inside all 3 shells.
Just so we're all clear on it.... they sound fantastic despite these faults and I'm so happy these have found a home at my place......
