Good evening gents. I picked up this marching drum today. Looking for any info I can get. Looks to be all original. I believe these are calf skin heads. This drum is in really nice shape. Going to clean it up and probably look to trade it for items I am looking for. If I had my own drum shop I would put it in the window. Cool drum.
WWII Sling (Marching) Bass
What size is it?? Man you scored some nice stuff today!!
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

Thanks it is a 30" diameter. I believe 12" wide.
My marching band currently uses an identical single-tension, cloud-badge 30x12 on the street. The original calfskins have long been replaced by Fibreskyns, and I run a felt strip across both heads. It sounds great. If we had a another drummer to carry a second bass, I'd be asking you for a price. Very nice find!
