Slingerland vintage drumset recut bearing edges

Slingerland 1960s drumset White Marine Pearl
recorded with zoom Q3 on auto unedited

This set has recut bearing edge on the bassdrum tomtom and floortoms. 2 x 45 degrees rounded over. The snaredrum is all original.

So, first of all, I don't recommend to alter bearing edges on vintage drums, this lowers collectors value. But, the good news is, they sound great. They open up a little more, but are still warm. Judge for yourself.

14 x 20 bassdrum
8 x 12 tomtom
14 x 14 floortom
16 x 16 floortom
5.5 x 14 snaredrum
20 inch Dream Bliss crash/ride cymbal
14 inch Spizzichino hihat cymbal set

Drums are sold.

@WinniesDrumkit  - What does "double 45" mean?

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@mbyeates Someone who was educated and knew that it would superbly improve the tone and attack.
