1960/70s Slingerland 20x11.5”, 13x9” and 16x16” in Red Sparkle Pearl
This is a fun set! I’m not quite sure of it’s origins and how it came together but the shallow kick is a lovely rare thing. The shells are all 3-ply Slingerland and are all original to the factory. The toms are more 70s with the silver badge and the kick is earlier, 1965. To a very keen eye, due to leaving the factory at different times, the toms might be a different era of red sparkle.
Chrome work is in great shape.
See photos for condition.
Freshly cleaned in my workshop Spring 2025.
Fitted with brand new Remo Vintage Ambassador and Coated Ambassador on the toms. Kick is fitted with Coated Powerstroke 3 batter and Fiberskyn Ambassador reso with Slingerland and Joe Cox Drums decals.
