70s Slingerland 18" Fl. Tom Legs? Last viewed: 17 hours ago

Loading...

Are the legs for a 1970s 18" floor tom the same size as the ones used on 1970s 16" floor toms for Slingerland drums? I need a set of legs for a 70s Slingerland 18" floor tom and don't want to source the wrong ones. Thanks!

Don't forget though, you need 4 legs for an 18"..

Oh, right! Eh... might be a bit of a challenge and expense for something so simple. Will check eBay and Reverb I suppose. Cheers!

Derick,

Is the shell already drilled for 4 mounts?

I have a Blaemire 18 FT that came with 3 Pearl mounts and legs.

It stands up just fine.

But I know.....factory accuracy is important.

Besides 4 looks cool and monstrous.

Hi Green Glass Drum... I haven't taken possession of it yet but it is a 70s black/silver Niles badged Slingerland maple finish tom so it already has the mounts and wing nut screws. Just no legs. It's a classic set I have so I will go with original. Thanks for the Pearl option though!

Blaemires are put together with all kinds of mis-matching parts.

My 18 had Sling lugs and Pearl leg mounts.

IMHO: For a Sling Shell......should be all sling parts.

Cool Man
