Haha.. Sounds like fun! I had a set of vintage Slingerland (6 piece) my dad gave me. Then a bigger set of Pearls. Slowly but surely, the pawn shops ended up with both.
Very very nice Mick!
Pearl made some REALLY nice kits. Nice quality. I used to use both their hardware, and Tama hardware!
I’m sure you know that Pearts all time favorite snare, was his 14” Slingerland.
He used it all the way through his Rush career, until he switched to all DW drums!
Its the snare he used on 2112, Xanadu, Spirit of radio, Freewill, Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, etc. he finally switched off to DW, I think around the Test for Echo album!
Although I also have DW drums, I prefer the sound of his famous Tama kits, with the Slingerland snare, and of course ALL Avedis Zildjian cymbals!
Damn, now I’m all revved up to go practice!🥁🎵
