Slingy Parade Drum

Posts: 476 Threads: 89

I posted this snare a while back. Finally got to repairing and fixing up.

I was going to use it as a floor tom with a WFL 26" bass drum I have and a Leedy 10x14 marching drum from the same era and create a kit.But I left it as is. It is a 12x16. 40s,50s. Repaired all the loose veneer,plys and rerings.

Stained it Early American. 8 coats spray laquer. I do need one claw though.
