Anyone know what year Slingerland Chrome-O-Wood was introduced? Looking at a drum with no badge, lacquer maple interior. I had a set I parted out that the serial #'s said approx 73, and the earliest catalog entry on this site is 79.

Slingy Chrome-O-Wood intro year?

I don't know for certain but......Nigel Olson used a COW Slingerland kit on the "Goodbye yellow brick road" album released in 73. Nigels set is pictured inside the album cover. Me thinks early 70's 71 or 72?

Second to that...
First appears in the '71 catalogs. I don't know if there was a '70 catalog ever printed though.. I think Buddy Rich's '71 catalog snare brought about the concept.

X3. The '69 catalog doesn't list a COW; and Buddy's snare was a solid shell BR Artist Model. By '76 the COW snare was out of the catalog completely (although it may still have been around if there was NOS available; just not listed in the catalog - and that usually means no production).
