'77 Slingerland 51N Super Rock
Spent the past few months on sourcing & replacing some pitted chrome..
Eg; BD lugs & all Set-O-Matic fittings.. the other chrome is still looking fine. Hit the "old girl" with some Novus last week & brought back some sparkle. I posted this kit a couple of years ago but it now has the correct 6.5 cob, & the added Concert toms are a recent purchase from Kev. Cheers

Re: 77' Slingerland 51N,Super Rock 24,18,14,13
Nice!!!! I love the Sliver/blue. The big sizes are a bonus, too. I'd love to try the COB 6.5 10 lugger too. Great stuff!!!

Re: '77 Slingerland 51N Super Rock
Nice LJ. Great sizes and that's such a cool wrap. The 6.5 snare is REAL nice~! Concert toms look great too and they all must sound wonderful too. Nice job and please post a few more pics of them~!~! Driver seat view would be cool too.
 I like seeing how everyone sets them up. Get some good ideas and tips. Thanks.

Re: '77 Slingerland 51N Super Rock
longjohn - Love the kit! And you don't have to describe how great that snare drum sounds... I bought an NOS 3-line Slingerland bronze shell a few years ago on fleabay and I assembled the drum in the photo. It has a mighty crack and tone for days out on the rims. On the dry/woody side tone-wise. I love mine.
 Enjoy your kit, mate! John

Re: '77 Slingerland 51N Super Rock
Thanks Guys,
Appreciate your comments.. Mark.. the only others that I have seen in this colour blend have all been marchers, but I recall seeing another kit with same colours reversed. When I take the hacksaw to my HH post I'll give the toms a try on the left, meantime they are part of my LP ensemble. John.. I reckon that would sound like a bomb going off, Loving Spoonful it Aint. FFR.. I'm not much with the camera but heres a couple.. it's a bit squeezy back there.. Stevo.. the "real" from behind the kit shot is for you.. 4 to the bar.. Cheers John

Re: '77 Slingerland 51N Super Rock
Good stuff thanks. I likey. Yes try the concert toms on the left, you might like them there. I used to have 3 roto toms to my left and over the hi hat sort of. I forget the exact placement but worked pretty well there. Thanks for the pics! BTW nice bar too!!
