Am on a mission to possibly save these drums, shown in an ad in a place I will visit in a month. So cannot see them 1st hand right now. Guy asking $100 for all - a 24" bass drum, 14" and 13" toms. They look 'chrome' wrapped (actual pitted chrome??) which in Slingy catalogs don't show until 1979, yet as far as I can see have re-rings, maple interior, which means pre-1976. I recall Neil Peart had chrome wrap on his mid-70's Slingerlands. Other clue is there is a Slingy 'Yellow Jacket" pedal. Looks 80-ish.
Any ideas from the experts....the year/model?
For sure a 70's badge on bass drum. They are clearly abused but I hope to rescue if the bearing edges are fine. I especially want to add the bass drum to my Slingy 'jellybean' kit .
Any advice on shipping drums either?
