This is my Slingy kit that I've been working on. I'm missing the 18" crash and I may add an 18" floor tom, but this is the kit.
I think it turned out well.
The bass (20") and mounted tom (13") are from the same set, 1964. The floor tom (16") is probably 1966 or 67 and the snare is 1965 COB. All brass and black badges.
The rack mount is new and the cymbal stands are all new.
Take a look.
Gene krupa 1n kit is what it would be in the catalog.
Looks great... Good job, I know you were gathering lots of parts...
What is the tom mount.. can't quite see in the pic...
Cheers

Wow it's beautiful and love that's it's proudly displayed in the living room in front of the fireplace - I'd leave it there through the holidays.
Thanks John
It's a Gibraltar rail mount that looks a lot like an old rail mount but is much more functional.
Those came out great. Black diamond pearl is such a classy wrap color too. Very nice! BTW hope you can find a 18" sometime that fits your budget.
Thanks Glenn, I'm looking at one on eBay but the guy wants 500 plus shipping. Its too much.
Sweet. So nice to see orphans joined together in a new family.

I'd love to leave it there, but I'm not sure my wife feels the same way.
