I am new memeber of the forum. I have been reading for a couple of weeks. I recently decided to start drumming after a 45+ yr hiatus. I played as a 11-12yr, just for fun. Never very good. At 57 yo, maybe I can get better. I just purchased a Slingerland bd and mounted tom (hoop mounted). I have some questions. First, there is a small attachment next to the bd badge. Appears to be an attachment for cymbal arm, woodblock, etc. I have seen something similar on Radio Kings. Not sure if it is original. Second, the bd badge is a brass/black Chicago. No badge on tom. However, when I examine the inside, the grommet looks as if it may have been removed. So, I am thinking maybe it may have been rewapped, or the badge replaced. Both the bd and tom have date stamps plus P-040 stamped inside. Can't make out the year. The shells look like photos I have seen of 60s Slingerlands. Do they look like late 50s/early 60s? I have included some photos. My camera crapped out before I could get more. I can take more if needed. Thanks in advance. This is a cool site.
