Correct MufflerType in Sound King? Last viewed: 1 day ago

Posts: 282 Threads: 69

If I am correct, Slingerland used two sifferent types of mufflers in the Sound King. Earlier used a bent rod with a rubber tip on the end that went through the spring metal to adjust. The newer style wss attached to the spring metal witha clip thst would slide to adjust.

As I am beginning to take mine apart, want to validate thatthe hardware is at least correct for the period. I have, what I described, as the earler style. My serial number is 147xcc.

Do zi have the right one? Idate this snare at late 1973-somewhere early to mid 1974when they alrrady switched to COS hoops.

Thanks for any help.

Did you ever find your Cook Book on Slingerland Drums ??

He gives the switch over as 1975, on the bottom of page 168.

Hey Kev...what's up?

Yes, I actually did find the book, but I forgot to check the book...sorry.

I've tried dating the SK, but not sure I am right. Was hoping it was 1973 vs. 1974 but whatever
