So never had a 10 lug. Fun to expand the Slingerland snare collection so bought this. I can always use the case :-)

Thanks!

They shine up real well too..even if they weren't shiny new

Also, this is the second time in under 2 minutes I've seen a photo of the "Breeze-Easy" book

Wierd!

Nice job!

It has arrived, "roar" it does. Keeper for sure.

I'd love to find out how these compare sonically to an Acrolite or Supraphonic.

Great clip, Thanks!

Played the 140 next to the now nephews Ludwig LM-404 (Black Galaxy). Snares engaged 140 a bit more volume and crack. Snares off 140 has huge depth and tone. LM-404 just kinda thuds. SS would be a better test but don't have one.

So first bath and quick polish done. Complete tear down needed to get all the crap out of the ribs. Rims are COS which bit of a let down but drum is in great shape. Serial #374715 which best I can tell is 1978'ish. Heads appear original. True Tone stamps are lined up just to the left of the badge center hole. Funny how they used shell scrap for the seam bracing.

Pics.

cool snare. I have a comparable alu Beverley 10 lugger. Amazing combination of dryness and openness in the sound. Really love it.
