Color is Sparkling Red Pearl. This is a matched set from 1965. All drums have been stamped “May 1965″ by Slingerland on the inside of the shells. All drums have clear maple interiors. Drum sizes are: Bass drum 14″ x 22″. Floor Tom 16″ x 16″ Rack Tom 8″ x 12″. Original Red Glass glitter wrap is in excellent condition. All tom rims are c. The rack tom originally had a small hoop clamp mount that I removed so now there are 2 small 1/4 holes located near the seam (see photos). All bearing edges are in perfect condition. These maple interior shells feel heavier to me than similar mahogany versions. Both toms have the adjustable mufflers in perfect condition. Wrap is original and in near mint condition. A few slight scuffs here and there but nothing major. An original Slingerland cymbal mount installed on bass drum. Please note, the toms of this era do not have vent holes / badges. I’ve read that Slingerland resumed installing vents / badges in late’66. No tom mounts, no snare drum. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I’ve had several people ask me about the lack of air vents on the 2 toms. Yeah, Slingerland omitted them for a few years. Rest assured these drums don’t sound or play any differently than a similar drum with an air vent. Remember, the actual sound is coming from the heads. If you want proof of this, just take a little piece of gaffers tape (or duct tape) and cover the vents on your drums and play them. You won’t hear or feel any difference.
