Description
For sale is one vintage Slingerland Nickel Over Brass Snare Drum. I believe the drum is from the 1930's based on other examples of these drums from the same era. This drum was designated for the U.S. Military (see the U.S. stamp in the pictures). The drum is in very good playable condition and sounds absolutely amazing!! There are some spots where the nickel plating has come off revealing the brass underneath but overall the drum is in clean condition. The top hoop is a vintage chrome over brass die cast hoop and is not original to the drum. The snare strainer is Slingerland but appears to be from a later era as it is chrome not nickel. Some of the tube lugs are missing their plating and I'm not sure if they are original to the drum or not. The drum also has a keyholder on it. This may or may not have been original to the drum but it is nickel so it very well could be. The drum currently has a Remo Legacy LA head on the batter side and an Evans snare side on the resonant side. The drum also has a brand new set of 20 strand Puresound wires on it. This drum absolutely crushes!! Please check out my auctions for more vintage drums and other musical instruments! Continental U.S. only. Payment is due within 2 days of purchase. Item will be packed with care and insured for its full value.
