USED SLINGERLAND / 60s Artist Model 3-ply 14x5.5 Blue Agate Pearl s/n149569 [08]

This snare drum is called "ARTIST MODEL" and was made in the mid to late 1960s.
This "Artist Model" has a "Zumatic" type switch and a simple structure around the switch (easy to use in a sense).

This one has a 3ply wood shell (solid was also available in the early days, but this one is 3ply).
It has a maple/poplar/mahogany shell with thick maple reinforcement, which is typical of the 60's. The hoop is also made of the original brass stickseed.

The hoop is also an original brass stick saver hoop, and together with this snare, you can enjoy the rich overtones and thick core sound typical of Slingerlands.

The serial number is 149569, and it is believed to have been produced in the late 60s.
The main parts are almost original, but the snappy has been replaced with a Canopus snappy.
It has been cleaned, but the old remo head was in good condition, so we have left it as is.

The sound is really good, and it is still in good enough condition to use without any problems.
