Yeah! He's on fire :D

Hell fucking yeah! I definitely heard some Bonham in there, and he kinda has to with that big ol' 24 in Bass!!

Good luck with that DW/Slingerland thing. I'm still scratching my head as to how they're going to fit "Slingerland" into their line-up. I don't see them having it as a more expensive line than the Collector series. Will they re-brand the "Classic" or "Jazz" series? 'Course the "Jazz" series seems more in replicating the Gretsch "Round Badge" than anything else. Will they do away with the Performer series in order to have a "Slingerland" brand that's competitively priced with say.... the Classic Maple Ludwigs? Will they rebrand one of their import PDPs? Where will DW place the "new" Slingerland line as far as their recently acquired Gretsch product line? Will I still be waiting on a reply for a simple replacement part for a pedal three years after the inquiry? Is it really in the interest of American drummers to have the USA-manufactured market domination that DW seems to be bent on?

Paweł Morrison What sustain?

Better on a snare stand that on the later Set-O-Matic mount!

It's not a "standard" or catalogued Slingerland size and neither is the 16x13...especially in 1963. Most Slingerland kits presented in their catalogues also had 20x14 bass drums. And NO Slingerland rack tom eve sounded that good with the abomination Set-o-Matic tom mount. My first drum kit was 1968 Slinger/Leedys with the 1st gen Set-o-Matic. A resonance-killer if there ever was one! www.vintagedrumguide.com/slingerland_drumsets_1963.html

I was wondering the same thing. If these were actually made in 1963 they must have been custom sizes for the floor toms.

Stamp Jockey the 15x12 is modified rack tom.

I was thinking this was a country road setup )13,14,15,16 toms 18 floortom and 24 kick.) Reconfigured into a big band setup.

The company management were brain dead. Too slow to introduce "magnum" hardware, and the hardware was overkill. The company was floundering so badly that Neil Peart had to bail to Tama. He called the company (early 80's) "headless"

Scott Lowell 😫

Now its owned by dw, many many original slingerland artists now play dw, so fingers crossed that a brand revival is on the horizon.

Slingerland was never owned or run by "drummers" as the Slingerlands were business folks, not musicians. So the story goes, Buddy Rich wound up with Slingerlands initially as his Dad was looking for an new kit for "Traps the Wonder Boy" and he first went to Ludwig & Ludwig, but there was no one onsite that could make an endorsement decision. So he and the young Buddy went over to Slingerland and there was no such hesitancy...they signed him up! 'Course Buddy wound up endorsing Ludwig, Slingerland, Rogers Fibes and even Trixon at various points in his career. I had Slinger/Leedys back in 1968-72 (initially 20/12/14 and then 20/12/13/14) and really wasn't all that impressed except with the "Shelly Manne" COB snare (same shell as Slingerland sound King). The "Set-o-Matic rack tom holder was crap. You should read the Slingerland book by Rob Cook.

Agreed, Bill played Slingerland drums for many years with Sabbath.

In our videos we use two overhead microphones - Sennheiser e914 and two room microphones AKG C214. We use this combination for each video you can see on our KZfaq channel.

probably Ludwig Maple

Dan Webd Their old rival , for several decades...

so you are saying if he would tune otherwise it'd be a fake tone?

It also could be a converted marching drum

Those are non-standard floor tom sizes for 1963 too.

14” and 18” sizes are better I guess.

Just what I was thinking. In fact they sound muffled? The Slingerland sets Rich used to solo on were much more wide open.

Yes, both the hoops and BD T-rods are not stock issue Slingerland.

BD legs are not original either.

Xcorgi Neil Peart did it in the 70's and he sounded amazing doing it.

Austin Grasty So did Bill ward of Black Sabbath.

John Bonham recorded Led Zeppelin 1 on Slingerlands with a Supra 400.

Xcorgi I play rock on my 60s slingerlands. There is no other way in fact

Slingerlands were and still are great drums. I love playing my late 60s model and I also have a vintage 60s Ludwig and 70s Premier. The main problem with Slingerland, were their tom fittings . Nowhere as solid as today's hardware, but sound great.

This set cost 2.590,-Eur, but unfortunately is already sold.....

I had Slinger/Leedys and don't miss them a bit, but I did love the COB Shelly Manne snare's sound. I currently have a "Frankenstein" Slingerland COB Sound King (with a COB batter rim) that sounds very similar and is one of my "go-to" snares.

Pablo González Gallardo I’ve never heard those cymbals in real life,but I agree. They’ve never sounded good to me on video.
