58' Slingerland w/ RK snare for newer kit...

[Questfordrums]

I'm looking to trade my Slingerlands because my band is getting more gigs/recording sessions and I hate to take it everywhere. The finish is light blue pearl and the sizes are 22/13/16 with a matching 14" Radio King snare. It has new Remo Renaissance heads on tops and bottoms except the bass reso is a Fyberskin and the snare heads are coated Ambassador over Ambassador Hazy. The snare has die cast hoops in the picture but I have the cob sticksavers too plus new puresound snare wires. Also, the floor tom legs mounts are the 70's screw type, but I do have the working push-button mounts+legs (except the buttons) that work perfectly fine. The tom mount bracket is a new Steve Maxwell reproduction and the clamshell strainer arm is a new repro and much better than the original. Bearing edges are in great shape all around, some re-rings are slightly separated in small sections. The 13" tom has a little tom rash, but it does not effect the integrity of the wrap. I have the original bass hoops with great inlay, I have different hoops on it because the originals have flat spots. Colors match very well from drum to drum!!! I have lots of extra parts that go with it as well.....not pictured. Any questions, please ask away!

I am looking for a newer set that I won't be afraid to gig or take out as much, but still sounds great. I like Yamaha, Gretsch, Ludwig...about anything, haha....no snare required. I like the Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz kits, so if you have one of those for trade and maybe some money to make up the difference I could work with that. Let me hear what you've got! Thanks!

I would like to expand my trade options to re-wraped or mismatched drums in a 20/12/14 configuration.

....let's see those kits

Just a thought...

If you like the Catalina Club Jazz sizes, you could potentially pick up a cheap Tama Stagestar kit. It's a five-piece set, but if you leave off the smallest tom, it's a four-piece kit identical in size to the CCJ except its floor tom is 2" shallower. Really great little set for the price -- I see them every once in a while for about $200 used. I picked some up for use as a practice kit to keep at a friend's house and was very pleasantly surprised by their quality.

And with how cheap Stagestars can be found, maybe you could even hang on to those beautiful old Slingies!

I might just do that. Thanks! Playing those Slingy's today was just such a blast:D

[RogerSling]

Whatcha lettin' 'em go for? Have you nailed down a price?

[Questfordrums]

I'm replacing some screws and I think I am just going to hang onto them.....with the wife's approval;) They aren't bringing many offers and just sound so unique.....plus it's my favorite vintage finish....

Tell me what you think cause I would love to trade!! I'll give you the snare and you don't have to give me yours if you want. I love the Gretsch one but have too many snares.

Please tell me what you think!!

[RogerSling]

I'm still waiting for a price ... if You would consider selling it ... as you had mentioned before.
I have also posted in the Wanted section.

Sorry to everyone who has replied and not received a response. I had decided to keep it after having it posted for a while and loving the sound all over again. This is the best sounding Slingerland kit I have owned....especially the snare. I have a recent endorsement deal and am considering money offers only at this time.

Thank you for the interest

Thanks

I was a little confused as well, haha. I posted them for sale in late January, didn't get any takers. I did not want to put them on FeeBay because I want them to go to the right people that would take care of them and not part them out. I decided to do some minor replacements/upgrades and keep them in-house and safe....plus the wife then approved me keeping two kits....that was about 3 months ago (March). I had a few problems with the old screws in the lugs so it took some time to get proper replacements. After the completed re-assembly, I found a drum head combo that I really liked and dampened of all the spring noises within the kit that recording doesn't take kindly to. They sound wonderful and I don't mind hanging on to them. HOWEVER, I was recently offered an endorsement deal by a company that I would like to represent. I wasn't expecting this thread to be resurrected after 3 months, but since it has I will consider selling it.

I hope that this clears things up. I did not mean to confuse or frustrate anyone. I am not eagerly seeking buyers, but will sell it to the right person. I don't want to go through the hassle of pulling up the old "for sale" section post and modifying it as well. I received a couple of PM's and want anyone interested to have an opportunity to buy it.

$1200 shipped....I think that is fair....

Thank you for PMing me. Can't wait to see the pics.
