Shawn Freeman's 1974 Slingerland Neil Peart "Chromey" replica kit circa

Here are some pics of the 1974 Slingerland kit. I purchased this kit from the original owner back in 2007 off of eBay. The concert toms, Zildjian cymbals, Pearl Stands, cowbells and bass drum mounted cymbal holders were all found off of eBay in the last 4 years.

 I started playing the drums in 1969 by listening to Ron Bushy of Iron Butterfly and Dino Danelli of The Rascals.  In 1975, I discovered RUSH and Neil Peart. His drumming style instantly blew me away. I vowed if I ever had the opportunity, I was going to have a Slingerland kit just like on the cover of "All The World's A Stage."  It has taken me awhile, but I think the results speak for themselves.
