They are not doing enough to save this line. I grew up playing Slingerland. They are great drums but Gibson is pricing them through the roof. Even Gretsch figured out you have to have entry level kits to sell a line. They are the same type of drum and customer. Learn from them. You will never compete with DW in the price point you are now. The proof is you have no dealers left. I hope they make an effort to save the line but right now it's being miss-managed.

Maybe the best thing to do is Set Them Free....

Since Gibson corporate can not figure out how to grow the drum business...Then let Slingerland try themselves....it mihgt be the best way to save them.

While they are at it Gibson could let a few others go as well....

I have a set of Slingerlands that I picked up from Musicyo when I also bought a couple of Musicyo Kramers. Anyone who passed up the Musicyo deals, missed the Deals of the Decade!

I agree with most. Slingerlands have been around so long and it would be a crying shame to see it go like Leedy, even though they still exist in a small capacity.
