Slingerland/Ludwig help & information (lots of pictures)

Posts: 16 Threads: 5

Hello everyone,

Although this is one of my first posts, I have been frequenting this forum for a while. I recently purchased some old drums that I have been fixing up, and was looking for some information on them. Any knowledge is appreciated.

This is the snare drum that came with the kit. The badge and (what I'm assuming would be a) damper are missing. It is a 5x14". The reason I think it's a Ludwig is because on the top hoop there is a Ludwig Universal engraving. There are two different kinds of clips or claws for the snare. Not sure which are the original. There are also 6 tube lugs. I am happy with the condition of this drum. Any information on what it is would be great! Here's some pictures:

This is the tom that came with the kit. It's a 14". There is a Radio King engraving on one of the hoops, but no badge on the drum. As far as I can tell, there isn't an air vent, so I don't know if there was a badge originally on it. The lugs are a little rough looking, but I should be able to clean em up pretty good. What kind of finish or wrap would have been on this tom???

This is the 22" bass drum that came with the kit. Not counting some scratches in the finish this kick is in excellent shape. I was wondering what kind of stain or clear coat is on it? I would like to refinish it. The lugs are in very good shape. I don't think there's even any rust or anything on them. The hoops are single ply which is pretty neat.

The kick also came with some more hardware like a matching "Epic" kick pedal and hi-hat stand, and some old 13" Zildjian hi-hat cymbals. The top cymbal is paper thin, I'm excited to play em.
