This is a nice Gibson era Slingerland kit in champagne sparkle, made in Conway, AR. Sizes are 8×12, 16×16 and 18×22. The toms are 6-ply Keller, and the bass drum is 8-ply Keller. All of the drums tune up easily and have a great tone. It is in overall good condition, but it is a player’s kit – not a collector’s kit. There are some replacement parts, but NO EXTRA HOLES. Most of the chrome is very good and only needs a bit of a polish. There is some very minor pitting on a few pieces. The wrap is mostly clean, with any stains noted in the descriptions below. You can access them here. Here are the details.. The original hoops have been replaced with new stick saver hoops. They are identical to the original hoops, except they don’t have “Slingerland” stamped on them. Bearing edges are good. There is one ding inside the shell, shown in the photos. 16″x16″ Floor Tom. Like the 12 tom, the original hoops have been replaced with new stick saver hoops. Bearing edges are good, with one ding on the batter-side edge. The inside of the shell has quite of bit of dings and scratches (like another drum had been stored inside it). There is one major ding on the inside by one floor tom brackets, like the drum had been dropped (see photos). From what I can tell, the drum is structurally sound. The thumb screws on the brackets have been replaced with Gibraltar thumb screws. The legs are original, and one is slightly bent. There are a few stains on the wrap, but nothing major (see photos). 18″x22″ Bass Drum. The bass drum is really nice, with only a couple of small dings inside the shell. The hoops have some scratches and paint chips, but are structurally good. There is a dark stain on the bottom of the drum (not visible when the drum is set up). The original spurs have been replaced with Gibraltar spurs, but no extra holes were drilled (they have the exact same hole pattern). The claws on one side have been replaced with new Slingerland claws. The original claws have some scratches. The drum is not drilled for any sort of mount. The original Slingerland reso head is there, but has been cut for a mic port. If you have ANY questions, please ask. I did my best to find all the issues with the drums, but I may have missed something.
