This is a set of vintage Slingerland drum shells from 1965 – a big and boomy 22″ bass drum, a 16″ floor tom and a 13 tom. These shells are wrapped in a rare psychedelic finish called “Pink Oyster Pearl”. The drums are in sound structural condition, the wrap is strong and tight, and I can attest that they sound great, as I gigged with these for a number of years. While these shells sound fantastic and are sure to catch some eyes, it’s important to understand that this well-used 55 year old set isn’t exactly a museum piece, and the drums have some blemishes that I’ve tried to show accurately in the item photos and I’ll describe here. The bass drum has some extra holes in the top where I believe some third party tom mounting hardware was installed. The floor tom has the remnants of some dampening foam (since removed) glued to the inside of the drum – I believe this gunk could be scraped off with some elbow grease. The other tom has an indentation near one of the rims, and also some discoloration on the interior (though otherwise it appears to be in solid shape). No hardware is included. I’d also add that the wrap in general could use a cleaning to really make those colors shine! Those details aside, I really think this is a beautiful and unique set of drums that I’ve been proud to own. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
