I am the second owner of this mid-'70's Slingerland bop kit. The sizes for this rare kit are 14 x 18, 8 x 12 and 14 x 14 with legs.I purchased it in the early '90s. I have changed the spurs and put Gibraltar ones on to replace the limited-scope original ones. I have replaced the hoops with blond versions. I am including the one original, cracked hoop that I have. One of the leg mount brackets functions, but should re replaced or re-tapped to match the other two legs. The original bass drum mounting bracket and tom arm are still on it.

Overall, the claws, and lug mounts are a mixture of brands, but everything functions well. The finish (not sure if it's Mahogany or Teak wood is original and has an appropriate amount of nicks and scratches, considering the set is 50 years old. It is a great sounding kit that can be used in various formats, either acoustically or mic'd. It takes up a small footprint, but resonates well. If you want a kit that combines a vintage legacy along with a contemporary musical use, this may be the kit for you. Local pickup in the San Francisco Bay Area only.
