Hey folks, I picked up a couple of kits at an estate auction last week and one of them looks like a late 70's early 80's Slingerland in Yellow Gloss wrap (wrap cataloged 79-86) The bass drum has matching yellow hoops. Searching old posts on this forum I read that some of the kits with solid wraps came through this way. I see one gloss yellow kit with yellow hoops in the 1979 catalog. I'm curious, are these scarce? Ive never seen one before... but I'm a Ludwig guy and don't know all the is and outs of Slingy drums.

Another interesting note... All the drums are 3 ply with re-rings except the 12" tom which is 5 ply. The Slingerland book says both shells were offered in 1979.

I'll have a better idea of condition etc after I get them apart and cleaned up... the wrap looks bright even under the layers of dirt.

Any comments/info from you Slingy experts welcomed!
