Those are likely the original mounts. Slingerland was offering those in the '80s.Every drum altered for those Pearl mounts is worth at most half of it what it normally would be. Too bad.
Interesting, I didn't know that. Would certainly be more desirable with Slingerland mounts though. I had those same mounts on my late 1960's Slingerlands when a previous owner went to double rack tom in the very early 80's. I seem to run into as many 60's to 70's Slingerland's with Pearl kick mounts than Slingerland ones.Those are likely the original mounts. Slingerland was offering those in the '80s.
I really wanted to drill my red tiger '70s Slingerland for Pearl mounts. Glad I never put in the effort to do so.Interesting, I didn't know that.

I’m guilty. Swapped the Slingy original mounts on my copper over wood 5piece kit (circa 75-ish?) for a Pearl mount. Way better mount. Good for the Slingerland originality? No. Good for actually playing? Yes. Would I do it again? Not as an adult. But as a clueless high schooler I probably would....Every drum altered for those Pearl mounts is worth at most half of it what it normally would be. Too bad.
