1950s Slingerland "combo kit" or "bebop kit&

[Jim Loffredo]

This is a WMP 1950s 20 inch head x 18 inch shell drum. It may have been called a "combo kit" or a "bebop kit". It has a cymbal arm, 4 legs and a beatiful peddle with a leaf design cast in it.The peddle has a brace that clamps to the legs. The bottom head has T rods and base drum claws. The wrap is yellowed. The drum was and is a players drum, but it was also well cared for and is very beautiful. There are no snares and I dont know if there ever were. I use this drum as a giant floor tom in my band The Scared Stiffs. I am selling it because I found a regular 20inch floor tom that matches my 70s gloss white slingerland set and I can't afford to buy it and keep the other. I hate to see it go though...
