Here’s a vintage Slingerland drum set in the beautiful Red Tiger Pearl wrap. Sizes are: two 9×13 rack toms, 16×16 floor tom, and 14×22 bass drum. Niles, IL badges in the 66xxx to 71xxx range date this kit to between 1970 and 1972. Three-ply shells with maple interiors. Bass drum spurs and floor tom legs included. There are minor scuffs and scratches consistent with 50 years of normal use. All original except for heads, some tension rods, and one replacement hoop inlay from Jammin’ Sam’s. The replacement inlay is Red Onyx, which is the closest match to the original that I could find. In the final photo, the replacement inlay is on the hoop to the left. It’s a tighter pattern than Red Tiger Pearl, but the colors are an exact match. Hoops have been freshly painted. Heads are a mish-mash of new and used. On the toms, all batter heads are new or NOS (unplayed). The Bass drum batter head and one of the 13 tom reso heads are worn and should be replaced. All in all, a striking beautiful kit that will turn some heads! The item “Vintage Slingerland Red Tiger Pearl Drum Set 13/13/16/22 1970-72 Niles, IL” is in sale since Sunday, April 18, 2021.
