Slingerland Modern Combo White Tiger Pearl

[ryanjames]

This kit was for sale a few months ago through Nelson Drum Co. in Nashville. I am trying to track down the person who bought it to make an offer! It’s the most beautiful kit I’ve ever seen and sounds absolutely perfect for the music I’m making these days.

I also love the curved tom arm. Anyone know what that is called?

If anyone knows where I can find this kit, please please please let me know. Kind of obsessed about it haha.

Did you ask that Nelson forward you contact information to the seller?

I don't know if Slingerland offered a curled double set-o-matic mount. My guess is that someone altered the shaft to get the toms closer to the drummer. Never seen one like that before.

I did ask on Instagram but they said they didn’t remember who bought it. I am going to call tomorrow to see if I can get more info.
Re: the tom arm, that would make sense. I saw multiple kits at Nelson with this tom arm so I didn’t know if it was offered as a separate accessory from Slingerland.

I love the faded look!
Yeah it’s weird how they put the toms on like that.

It has got to be the tiger! Dont get me wrong. This kit is so cool. I may end up buying it if I for sure cannot find the white tiger pearl finish. I am a little concerned that the toms will sit too far and that's also why I want the curved tom arm as well. The tiger is the perfect kit! Hoping for a miracle!

I had a set like this in Yellow Tiger. The drums were 9x10, 9x13, 14x16, and 14x20. The toms could fit inside each other, to eliminate extra cases. I liked the white tiger finish, back then. It had a crystal look about it. Not into the faded look. If I had ordered my set in red tiger, I'd still have it today.

Wow. Sounds awesome. Yeah I love the nesting ability. The white tiger is the one I am hoping to find. Let me know if you see any! Cheers.

Interesting I play a 14X18 G bass and you can't miss the toms (+/-) but Yes the Slingerland mount is..

I'm sure it would work out fine. I am just holding onto hope before considering that other kit.

Was that Weather & Wood (...) in the Tiger pearl set. Seller..

It is Nelson Drum Shop in Nashville. I am planning on calling today to speak to someone about any information about who purchased it so I can somehow convince them to sell to me? Haha. It's a long shot, but when you love a kit you go to great lengths.

o come on it's not that bad; may open an option for tom post (which he doesn't show..
Slingerland really locks you in with their tom mount don't they (didn't they) not much adjustment and everyone's experience a "tom fall off" at a gig (even me when I used a friends kit once for a gig) Couldn't get one of the toms to tighten to "the nub"...

I just love the concert tom thing. It’s more unique and wacky.

Could have a set custom built if you had hardware
