Slingerland Universal Resoration - Done - Pics

Posts: 688 Threads: 96

Well I think this one is done. It was a tore up rust bucket when I got it, total body off restoration so to speak. :) I will try and get more pics outside, it was really hard to get a good shot indoors with the onboard flash.

It sounds amazing BTW..

Incredible, great wooshy sound and the rimshots are fantastic. Finding real wires for this drum was a blessing.

I was doing my usual 20 searches a day on ebay and up popped the wires and throw with a BIN for $20..SOLD!!, could have cared less about the throw but I knew I wanted the wires for this drum.
