This is a Slingerland Deluxe Student model snare drum in beautiful white marine pearl. This is a 6 lug, 5 1/2" x 14" snare drum with all oringal hardware including COB rims, internal muffler, and original snares. The interior of the ply shell is natural mahogany with a lacquer finish and maple reinforcement rings. The white marine pearl is in very good condition with no cracks or scratches and little to no yellowing. There are some scratches in the wrap but it is impossible to see them. The top head is a older Ludwig head but the bottom appears to be original with a clear Slingerland logo. This is a near perfect example of a classic vintage snare drum from Slingerland that will make the perfect addition to a vintage early-60's Slingerland outfit.
