[COLOR="DarkRed"]Looks like it's in good shape. The 'ol 4-legged bass drum...luv it. The Chromes can oftentimes not age very well...most that I see are pretty beaten up.

Cool find. I agree, work 'em back to the original tom mount systems....eventually....[/COLOR]

Nice!, makes me think of this:

close?

Definitely a sweet kit. I hope you plan to play some serious Rock 'n' Roll with them!D' Drummer

I think those are actually chrome and not black chrome......but close....gotta love the toms and bass drum moving everywhere.....Laughing H

Dave Robinson of the Cars played a set of chrome Slingys in the early days of the band before switching to Tama later on....

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I dunno, those could be the black chrome. Hard to tell with all the groooooovy colors goin' on.

The CARS with Slingys...really ? I would have liked to have seen that, actually....[/COLOR]

Check out 2:15 for a nice angle on the big tom. Always loved his deep tom sounds. He had a HUGE tom up front and a smaller one to the right.

Here's one from even earlier......1979 in Germany!

Awesome vids! Just awesome, especially the James Gang and the second Cars one. I love those 70s/80s vids where you actually get some good footage of the musicians actually making their music. Then they went to the over produced crap where you got the cameras flipping all the time and the "artistic" viewpoints and other stuff thrown in and then eventually you hardly saw the musicians at all, especially the drummer.

Sorry to get off topic on the Slingy's but I really loved those vids! Thanks for posting.

I have the DVD of that second Cars vid......great vid, a lot of close ups of what Robinson is doing there....
