“With their maple/poplar and mahogany/poplar shells enforced by steam bent solid maple reinforcing rings, as well as vintage styled lugs and classic stick saver type hoops, these drums pay homage to the great American drum making traditions of Slingerland. But, in my opinion, Chicago Drum Co.’s ‘small batch’ superior craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the drum making process goes way beyond the original classics, and they have created a truly wonderful modern drum with vintage sensitivities.”
