I need a Leedy Broadway Dual Tension Rod
I don't have one...in a pinch you can get a readily 10/24 threaded bolt from a hardware store with a fillister head (for a regular screw driver) or a...
17 years agoWhich Slingerland Snare do I have?
A 1962 wouldn't have a serial #. According to the Dr's chart on this site, 1966 looks right. If your drum has the stick saver hoops, it would be the "...
17 years ago1980's Mystery Supra
In the '80s, I remember Ludwig sending out a bunch of metal drums with the bowties. Don't know what they called them, but I remember they were "budget...
17 years agoHi ! New member, here..
On some of the early '70s single headed bass drums, Slingerland sometimes either painted or put some sort of lining in the bass drum. Sounds like what...
