I'm looking for any and all former Slingerland employees from the Niles era that might be attending the Chicago Drum Show. Bernie Stone of Stone custom drums is having a presentation on Saturday at 2:00 at the drummers cafe,(that's where we'll meet) about how he came about and purchased the machines that made the drum shells from the Niles plant. I'm trying to locate more employees, right now I've contacted four others besides myself that worked there. Thought it would be cool to get a gathering there. There's got to be more people in the Chicago area! P.M. me here or email me at [email]customerservice@chicagodrumandrestoration.com[/email]
