Description

Here?s a unique and great-sounding vintage Slingerland 5×14 snare drum, likely from the late 1960s or early 1970s, made in Niles, IL. This model features a spun aluminum shell ? known for its warm, dry tone with a crisp response ? and is a lighter alternative to brass or wood.

This particular drum has been fitted with a vintage Rogers ?Clock Face? throw-off, an early Swiv-O-Matic model known for its smooth action and durability. These throw-offs alone can sell for over $100+ on the vintage market, making this an ideal hybrid snare for gigging or studio use.

Features:

? Size: 5×14?

? Spun aluminum shell (lightweight and dry-toned)

? Original Slingerland lugs and hoops

? Rogers ?Clock Face? Swiv-O-Matic throw-off (non-original)

? Niles, IL black/brass badge ? serial #204465

? Used Remo heads

This drum has some typical cosmetic wear on the hardware, but functions great and sounds excellent. It?s a great piece for players who value tone and feel over cosmetic perfection ? and a solid investment thanks to the rare throw-off.
