I have a 5 piece Slingerland Stage Band kit from the 70's in white marine pearl. Drum sizes are 5 1/2 x 14 snare, 14 x 20 kick, 8 x 12 and 9 x 13 mounted toms and a 14 x 14 floor tom. I'd really like to add a smaller 7 x 10 tom and Singerland didn't make them in that size for the Stage Band models. So, I'm thinking of making one myself. I'd buy a Keller shell, some vintage white marine pearl wrap, a vintage Slingerland Niles badge, some vintage Slingerland snare lugs similar to those used on the Stage Band toms and some stick saver 10" rims. And I'd install a Set-O-Matic mount on it. I'd do all the work myself. And if this project goes well, I'd consider doing the same thing with a 16 x 16 floor tom. I realize that the project drums aren't "authentic" but I'd have the 7 piece kit that I'm shooting for and all the drums would match.
Just looking to get some people's thoughts as whether I'm wasting my time or if this is worth while. Thanks to anyone who chooses to chime in.
