Slingerland parts needed... help?

Studiocat · 5th January 2008

Hey all you drummers!

I just picked up a new drum kit, a '66 slingerland, and in order to get my last tom "off the ground" I need some leg mounts. The holes measure 2 1/4" apart. It's a unique measurement, as I have discovered, and none of the aftermarket or brand parts seem to fit.

I would prefer not to drill any holes in the drum, or spend $50 per mount on ebay...

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
Adam

Spend the money...
Vintage Sling floor tom mounts are the toughest to come by. Not sure why, but there's not a lot of them out there at the various vintage drum dealers or ebay. You might come off better by finding a trashed Sling floor tom in a hideous color and robbing them. I've got a lot of other parts, but none of these.

You absolutely don't want to drill holes or enlarge those to make something fit. Get the correct parts.

later,

Go over to drumforum.org - ask there... there's lots of vintage drum freaks over there that should be able to help.

I've seen folks use a snare-type stand to do this. Can adjust height/position as needed and not put any new holes... ymmv
