My Younger Years

Scanned with a Negative scanner. The actual picture is more in focus. I guess the scratches threw off the scanner and threw it out of focus. Oh well. It's the memory of it that counts.

Pentax K 1000,Unknown,Fujifilm ISO 200
Scanned with a Nikon COOLSCAN V ED full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Paul, I've been selling it off piece by piece. All I have left are the stands and the drums. All of the cymbals are gone. I made about a grand on the cymbals. I had a couple nibbles on the drums but too many people trying to haggle them down. The shells on the closed toms and the bass drum are the cheaper wood but the open toms are maple so any value would come from it being made from a drum company that is no longer in business. Without the concert toms I'm thinking the kit of just drums would be worth about $1,000 - $1,500. My best offer was $500. People just don't know what they're looking at. I am trying to get a Slingerland bass drum head without the hole cut in it. I think I may have found someone who can make one for me though. I think that may make it more appealing.

If you still have these in the basement they could be worth some serious cash. Seems like Gibson closed the operation and liquidated everything a few years back. Paul

Impressive. The neighbors must’ve loved hearing it.
