I am going to purchase my first classic set of drums, a 1967 Slingerland, 22, 16, 13.
It took years but it finally happened.
The badges look good and hardware is original. (Thanks to this web site) but I was thrown off by the texture of the Green Satin Flame wrap.
It wasn't glossy. It had a strange finely ribbed texture to it.
Can someone let me know if this is original material or an added wrap.
Welcome. It's great your going with the Slingerland kit I've enclosed a link within the 1967 colors that were available look at it and see which color are you referring to or post a pic of the drums in question. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/finishes/slingerland/67_slingerland_back.jpg
Satin flame wraps do have a texture to them. That ribbing is part of what gives them the shimmery pseudo-flame kinda look.
It is (Green Satin Flame Pearl) Thanks vintagemore200.
Pictures are on Craigslist and I am not sure how to get them to here, Sorry, I'll have to share after I set them up at home, it is worth a look.
Great to hear skydog75, I did not want to unwrap something foreign. thanks.
Guitar for the wife, drums for me makes for a fun christmas and winter.
Nice choice of kit, can't wait to see the pics! Great to have you here, stick around, tons of great info around here!
