I grew up a Slingerland guy, evident by this drawing I found the other day made around 15 years old (Circa 1977), complete with a Model 68 Boom stand and a Syndrum no less!!
Ive shared before what an influence Joe English had me during his tenure with Wings... in 1976, I spent hours studying everything about this painting from the "Wings Across America" album. Another Slingerland man!
