... "you guys are making an awfully big deal over a drum SHELL"... etc. Actually, no LD... not making a big deal over it, more like fodder for a fine DISCUSSION into the what/where/how. These are the type of things that make one want to dig and research a bit. I don't think anyone here is actually interested in the purchase of this item... more the discussion about how it might have come to be... and is it "possibly" genuine, which again... I don't think it is.Tommyp
Tommyp! Thanks for your previous post to me. Your knowledge and comments are always appreciated.
While LD's opinion is justified, I completely agree with your assessment of this... we're all just interested in obtaining as much information as possible. When I see a drum that doesn't make sense, I just want to find out more about it from others, to see if it is legitimate or not. While this drum certainly appears to be all Slingerland, I also feel that it has been custom built. I have all the parts to complete it, but the lug holes turn me off. I'll go ahead and build my own version... and make it as accurate as possible!
