    Description

    Needs clean up - will be pretty easy job if you know what you're doing. I had this professionally restored years ago then put into storage. Could use a really good clean up some resto for the rusting.
    This Slingerland 4x14" Piccolo Snare drum has an amazing natural brass color, and is from an interesting period of Slingerland's history.  4x14" was actually a popular snare depth in jazz, from the downbeat snare to Buddy Rich's WFL 4x14", and Max Roach's Gretsch 4x14", this actually reminds me of a monster-truck version of those drums, as ridiculous as that sounds.  I felt I could cover some traditional jazz, brushes, and small group playing, but I also can crack and slam this thing in more contemporary styles.  Here are some details:
    Brass shell shows some tarnish spots, including on the edges.  These do not affect the sound or the smoothness of shell or edges.  Itls common for this to happen to clear coated brass shells. (see photos)
    Throw off works and original pieces but doesn't feel solid.
    Muffler is present and but needs adjustment screw
    All parts appear to be original, or Slingerland brand
    There are two badges & vent holes.  One has the serial number, the other does not.
