A little Luddy, A Little Slingy and a Little MIJ all in one kit. I picked up this kit on Craigslist today listed as a vintage Slingerland.
It did have a 20 inch Slingy Kick and 16 inch Slingy Floor Tom in Black Diamond Pearl or maybe Blue not quite sure. My guess is according to the drum guide is that these are late 60's. They have serials of 219324 (floor tom) and 230851 (kick). The interiors are the light beige covering and have P stamps. Somehow the kick ended up with a Ludwig Tom Mount and no extra holes ? Musta started life as a virgin.The kick is missing it's front hoop and t-rods and the floor tom is missing the bottom hoop.
The rack toms are White Hall and are wrapped in a blue pearl. One 13 x9 and one 14 x 10. The interiors of these drums are different also. The 13 has a grey interior with black felt muffler and the 14 has a light blue interior with white felt muffler. Both have extra holes for the 60's Ludwig Tom Holders that the previous owner installed.
Finally this kit came with a cool 1965 Ludwig Supra. Serial 140266. It has very little pitting on the shell and original wires ! ...but it also has a strange rusted area around the badge grommit.....oh and it came on a cool old vintage Slingy Snare stand..
Anyway here are some pics to check out and any info the forum can offer up is always appreciated. I am gonna flip some of this and keep some of it. Haven't decided whether I want to build out the Slingy Kit or just add a snare to my collection.
