'69 or '70 Slingerland Purple Sparkle

Here they are! Though I've hardly been able to touch them since I messed up my wrist.
Set up along side my Sessions, which I still love.
I traded the Mardi Gras Rogers pictured for them, but it needed $700+ in reproduction lugs (that would break just like the originals) and they were too small for my liking. These are 22x14, 16x16 and 13x9.
The last pic is me (ctr) and my two brothers smoking Cubans on a cruise last month!

more!
The last one of the drums is the way they were sent to me. I got a huge blister on my thumb from screwing all the lugs back on!

Those look like they're in great shape. Sweet pickup.

Congrats!

You fixed those babies up well!

Nice to see some of your other stuff and a "politically incorrect" pic as well lol.

I also messed my hand up in a car prang in August 08. We still had gigs booked, so had to battle on, so I hope your wrist is coming good with time...

thanks! Our mom hates the cigar pic, so I make sure to show it to everyone first! We paid more for our Cohibas than I pay on average for an Acrolite.

BTW, the snare is a 5x14 Sound King from about the same era.
Come to think of it, it cost me less than the cigar, too.
