'69 or '70 Slingerland Purple Sparkle

[Kiwi]

At my peak I had 13 drum sets and over 50 snares!
I have sold a few of them, including these Slingerlands. But they're with a good friend that uses them a lot, so I feel good about it.
I also got a good bit of money for the three shells.

Impressive sir! Good to know ones pre-loved items go to a caring home.

Oh beautiful Purple, a little partial to that myself!

Took me long enough to find something of yours to look at!

Those slingerlands are just out of this world man.

cohibas are legal in canada....... got a extra slangy snare that would match my kit?

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.

Ahhh Cohiba cigars are the shiz niz! I went to cuba last December. Much better than Monty crosto IMO.

Whenever I can manage to get a day off it's either spent in there or on a lake with my little boat!

Your jam room/ refurb room looks like a world of it's own! I bet the hours fly by in there!

[korch]

I always love seeing pics of your "space". Looks like a fun place to jam.

[SippyCup]

Gaaahhh, I love that kit. Your jam space is awesome too.

[erwinner]

Some new (and BIG) pics.

Got some new gear for the jam room and thought I'd put the pics in this thread, since the Slingerlands are still in their rightful place.



and all the percussion toys. (and the gong!)

and a couple driver's seat shots.


and finally, the pianos.

That's a HOT KIT! I wonder if those jalapenos are that hot too. Some are; most aren't.

We should start a pepper thread in chit chat. I love peppers.

I'd chomp down on one of those jalapenos. I think I come in this thread once every couple of months just to look at the sparkly purpleness.
