Default Slingerland 10 lug 6.5 COB

Also purchased from US Sep 2011.
77-78 vintage, Searched for a long time for this one, it was well worth the wait. Not a scratch on it, It will be used with my 77 Super Rock kit.

I got ahold of an NOS mid-70's raw brass shell for that same drum and made myself a home-made version of the snare. It is one of my very favorite snare drums. Great find, that's a real nice one. They sound awesome don't they?

Thanks.. I am amazed how thick it sounds.. my band players like it too..

Hang in there jomelei 57.. It's 30 years since my original one got lifted from backstage.. either never really had the bucks, or saw the right one come up till now. (Hope you don't have to wait that long)..

Stef.. never got to find out what your fellow Muso's thought of yours??

Purdie.. I'd love to do that too one day..

Cheers
John

Thanks Guys..
Steve.. its too bad Slingerland didn't make cameras.. (you would still have one that worked). hope you are as lucky as I was when the time comes..

Bill & James.. thanks for the positives..

Purdie... That's one "Purdie Look'n Thing".. love the polished brass shell thing..one day I'm gonna try some thing like that too..

Cheers from Downunder..

NB Steve.. you may need a Pearl Tripod though..
