Pink Slingerlands On The Gig Tonight

[BobC]

Tonight was the debut performance for my Pink Glass Glitter circa '59 Slingerlands, purchased recently from Steve Maxwell. I got a great deal, because the floor tom was damaged in shipment. I had the guys at Precision Drum handle the repairs. The drums sounded great and looked even better. I have always liked this wrap, which is extremely rare. And yes, that's a calf reso head on the bass drum. The original one that came with the set.

Beautiful kit Bob! Glad to hear the repairs went well and it all worked out for you. Also really love that you’re taking them out and putting them to work!

They look great. Looks like 24 BD?.......I also have a pink kit....with little stripes.

it's 22" the calf and small Slingerland makes it look bigger
glad another no port set is out there

No, it's a 22." I love the calf reso head.

My first good set of drums were Slingerlands. May they give you years of musical joy. Peace and goodwill.
