Hello all, I just wanted to share a couple pics of my 60's Slingerland red glass glitter kit at a local benefit for Eva's Heroes. This is an organization started by Eva Longoria who has a sister that is mentally challanged, every year she puts on a dance for all the mentally challanged at a venue called Sunset Station in San Antonio, Texas.

Beautiful kit man....doesn't have to be mint. It's a player's kit and you're a player.

That's a sweet looking set, are they mahogany? Also, what's the skinny on the snare? Is that a hole bored in the shell?

Believe it or else!

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
