75 Slingys

OK, my buddy Vintagemore2000 assures me these are now mine, although I haven't paid for them yet........:)

1975 Slingerlands ... 20 / 13 / 16 / with matching Artist snare

He had about a 45 minute "goodbye session" with them after we got them set up at my place........ I had to kick him out before he changed his mind..............

He really got the Artist snare dialed in hard before he left.... it barks and sings !!

The 20 inch bass sounds better than my ' 77or ' 63 22 inch by a long shot.....

You know they are my friend !!

I'm gonna put them in the sunlight tomorrow for a decent pic.... this indoor light I've got going on doesn't do the finish any justice at all.

Damn, Those are some sweet looking drums. You've got some awesome friends. Can't wait to see some more pics.

How do the 70's Slingerlands sound compared to the 60's if any different.

You may have me looking for a sweet set of 70 somethins!!

Thanks Snooter..... these are the 3-ply with maple interiors, so they seem a little more resonant than the 3-ply mahog interiors from pre '63 to my ears.
