Greetings,

I am fairly new to the vintage gear scene. Bought this Slingerland about a year ago. Was originally identified as 6.5" by the current owner, but it is 7". The bearing edges appear to be in pretty decent shape. Has a few extra holes drilled in the shell for a modern strainer that the current owner put on it. The owner did have the three-point strainer with the drum though! It does appear to be quite bent. Muffler is in great shape.

From the little research I have done, the badge is black and brass that dates from 56-59. Sparkling gold finish is a definite orange-gold. Read that sparkling gold became a confetti pearl in '57, still known as sparkling-gold. Definitely appears to match this description. Unsure what is original to this drum. The drum looks like some of the Concert King's I have seen and that is why I bought it. Got the drum for 100.00

Any help would be appreciated!
