Hey Bartsee,<br> <br> check out the catalog page here:<br> <br> <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.cocktailangst.com/drum/catalogs/SL73P42.JPG">www.cocktailangst.com/dru...L73P42.JPG</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br> <br> These are the most common Slingerland models. Yours is ...

Yeah, sorry about the pop up windows folks. It's part of EZ-board and you have to pay to get rid of them and I'm not prepared to do that right now. I am looking into moving the message board to the server but that's a whole other level of complication! Anyway, my apologies and thanks to everyone who...

Hey Randy,<br> <br> The Yamaha Club Jordan is a fine instrument. As a matter of fact, I believe it is largely responsible for the recent popularity of the instrument. As far as I know it was the first production cocktail drum from a major compnany since the early 70's. The design was updated to add ...

Well, I have to admit that I have a chronic problem. I always switch sticks around even when playing full kit. I switch alot in the middle of tunes too! On the cocktail I use brushes, blasticks, hot rods, and the amazing 'diamond tip' plastic tip 8As. I normally don't use plastic tips or such small ...

Hey Keith,<br> <br> I am VERY aware of the varied and sometimes intense reactions to the cocktail drum! When I first got one I brought it to a rehearsal for Cocktail Angst and got a lot of half-hearted "yeah, that's kind of cool" comments. It took a while to get the sound right and work ou...

Hey Keith,<br> <br> I usually use 2 or 3 mics depending on the size of the space and what the sound system has available. Close micing the kick works well with my drum because I have the bottom head tuned low and well muffled. It could be too ringy if you leave the head more open. If I have only 2 m...

Ok, you caught me with THAT comment! I HAVE a set of North Drums! I guess I just love wierd drum kits. Norths ARE a dead spot. Made of thick fiberglass with no resonance at all. But they have that wonderful 'DISCO' sound. Built in dead and crazy projection from the curved shell! I've always wanted t...

Hey Don,<br> <br> If you want, you can send me the pictures in e-mail and I will post them. Just start your thread and I can go in later and insert the pictures.<br> <br> Glad you like the new Lounge. The problem with the FAQ might be your browser. I haven't tested the site with all of the older ver...

So, I finally measured my H & B hard plastic flight case. External dimensions are 33" tall by 20" diameter. The walls are 1/4" hard plastic (Enduro Case) and there are channels molded into the case for recessing the woven strap that is permanetly rivetted to the case. Fits my 24&q...

Hey Everyone,<br> <br> So, I have finally made the effort to give the site a face lift. I hope you all enjoy the new look and organization of the lounge. <br> <br> New stuff includes a scrollable photo gallery and a collection of full page catalog scans from vintage catalogs that contain cocktail dr...

Hey Keith,<br> <br> I just saw your post so I wasn't able to give you advice in advance! Glad to to see you got your drum built. So how did your gigs go? How's your left leg doing? : > )<br> <br> Three gigs in one weekend for your first stretch must have been pretty intense. I definitely start getti...

Here is a basic single headed Slingerland cocktail.



My guess is it's from the 50's.

White paint in fair condition. Would look great with a rewrap.

Snares and muffler there and working!

Hey Everybody,<br>
<br>
It looks as thought the message board reset itself to some previous state. There are definitely some posts that were here and are now GONE! Please repost if possible.<br>

Thanks<br>

Ok, people. Fess Up!<br> <br> I think that a couple of you out there have bought this kit by now. Please, tell us all about it!<br> <br> It is certainly the most affordable NEW full range kit out there. I have several reservations about the quality of the shells AND the hardware from the last time I...
