Slingerland Sound King lug differences Last viewed: 4 hours ago

Posts: 244 Threads: 60

I am currently restoring my newely acquired 58' Slingerland kit and have to replace some lugs on the toms and bass drum. I know that the mounting screws changed from the late 50's into the 70's, but I was wondering if the castings changed in design or composition throughout this time period.

Thanks!

As far as I know, the lugs stayed the same. I can't visually tell them apart on my Slingerland drums, whose dates range from 1955 to roughly 1980. I can't say if their metal composition changed at some point, though.

Thanks SkyDog! Wasn't 100% and I wanted to make sure to keep them as original as possible.
