I am not into flames on vans or drums but these vintage Slingerland convertibles are very nice- you're lucky. Congrats

When I first looked at the picture, it confused me. Wondering what it was you had 'concocted'.

Then, getting a GOOD look at the picture of the kit...

Genius, pure and simple.

yes one of those, the first one i think, it has old fashioned clips for the top rim
when i got it ,it had a wierd home made timpany system for lugs that made about 3 extra holes per lug. i removed the broken sparkle wrap filled the holes and put a wood venier of angrie a african maple the north tom was in very bad shape and i did some autobody work to it then had to paint it
the slingerland field snare had total hacked bearing edges they were routered
stripped stained and finished to be as close to the 20 " bass as possible.
saved from landfill as these were picked from the trash at the side of the road
