For sale Slingerland 9pc double bass drum kit!! Rare setup!
Ive owned this kit for over 20 years. I was told this was a kit from the namm show back in the day due to its many pieces but I cannot confirm that. I havent seen any of these sets for sale in double bass setups. It sounds really good. Its either a late 80’s or early 1990’s slingerland kit. Shell pack only.
Condition wise its in players condition. Well used overall but needs some TLC. There is some scratches / normal wear . Rust on chrome from being stored but could be cleaned up.. Top heads are currently mixed and matched so those could be replaced but the bottoms are mosty g1’s. Need a good cleaning. Bass drum batter heads are good..I would recommend new heads on all the toms . No tom arms also included just the 9 drums but they use pearl style tom arms and legs are included for the 16” .No extra holes.
I played this in my old band around san diego. Big kick drums. Looks cool. Wood shells and sounds decent . See pictures for condition.

They would be good for electronic conversion or some project for tom drums. The shells are super thin

See pictures. I have to ship in a big box or multiple boxes
