Up for sale is a 1966 Slingerland Niles‑era 4‑piece kit in classic 20/13/16 sizes with a matching 14” snare. This is a player grade vintage set that’s been cared for and tuned up to be a great working drummer’s kit rather than a museum piece.
Shells are in good shape and the kit sounds fantastic. The bearing edges have been professionally refurbished for better tuning and tone. This is not the original factory wrap – it’s now in a White Satin Flame style wrap that really pops under lights and gives it that vintage‑psychedelic look.
Hardware/parts notes:
• 20” bass drum
• 13” rack tom
• 16” floor tom
• 14” snare drum
• Original Slingerland floor tom legs included
• Additional modern floor tom legs included
• Aftermarket bass drum spurs installed for better stability
• Soft cases for each drum included
This is an honest, gig‑ready vintage Slingerland: great tone, cool look, and all the important stuff works as it should. If you’re looking for a classic 60s kit to actually play (not baby), this is it.
