C'est une DuAll SLINGERLAND - 1934
"In 1934, Slingerland was the third largest drum maker and poised for a run to the top..within 4 years, they would be number 1, thanks to the combined efforts of America's Ace Drummer Man, Gene Krupa, and the marketing genius of H.H. Slingerland. H.H. took a solid shell snare drum that he had earlier called the Artist, then the Professional, then the Broadcaster and made it the Radio King, in 1936 and the sales started to skyrocket.The rest is drumming history.
In 1934, two years before the Radio King, H.H. brought out his then most expensive snare drum, a full 40 per cent more than his original Black Beauty.
Slingerland introduced the DuAll, a solid walnut or mahogany shelled 10 tube lug snare drum with an impressively different throw off and buttplate, but it reminded Slingerland's arch rival, Bill Ludwig, too much of his own parallel strainer used on the Ludwig Super and Super Sensitive snare drums. At that point, Ludwig was part of Conn and Conn's lawyers got involved.
Slingerland ended the DuAll's run in the year of introduction, so we know this drum is from 1934.Slingerland promoted the Black Beauty, a black nickeled brass shell snare drum with gold lacquer on polished brass plated parts, called Artgold. A Black Beauty is a rare drum and sells for $10-15,0000. Most of them are pretty used looking.
In my opinion, a DuAll is a much rarer drum, and those that have surfaced have been plastic wrapped and tend to be a pearl and not a sparkle or solid. Since Slingerland sold their Artist series bass drum in black lacquer and Artgold and offered the Black Beauty snare drum with it to make a set. I would be willing to bet that the original owner of this drum had a matching black bass with Artgold trimmings.
Since 1934 is the year it was manufactured, and that was before tunable tom toms, I would venture the original owner played a snare, bass and some traps. He probably kept the snare after he stopped playing. The Artgold is in phenomenal shape and I think black is a rare color for this drum. It would have been most common in white marine pearl. Simply put, it was too expensive for most drummers."

Cette batterie à roulettes fait penser à celle de Chick Webb qui en était également pourvue pour l'aider dans le déplacement de sa batterie à cause de sa nature handicapée... ( Il était nain, bossu avec de grandes jambes, mais un tout petit buste... et de très grandes mains !)

Gretsch Defender -1943
Pour la petite histoire pour participer à l'effort de guerre les batteries fabriquées par Gretsch en 43 n'avaient que 10% de métal.

~DRUMS AND THE WAR EFFORT~
In June 1942, The United States had been at war with Japan (and later, Germany) for over six months. With materials necessary to the war effort becoming scarce, the U.S. Government issued the following order to manufacturers of musical instruments:
General Limitation Order No. L-37
To Restrict the Production of Musical Instruments
"Whereas, the demands of national defense have created a shortage of materials used in the manufacture of musical instruments, action has action has already been taken to conserve the supply and direct the distribution of such materials to insure deliveries for defense and essential civilian requirements; and the present supply of these materials will be insufficient for defense and essential civilian requirements unless the manufacture of musical instruments is curtailed and the use of critical materials for such manufacture thereby reduced."
General Limitation Order L-37, stated that all producers of musical instruments must limit the amount of critical materials (metal) to no more than ten percent of the total weight.
This order prompted drum manufacturers like Slingerland, Gretsch, Ludwig, Leedy, W.F.L. and others to design and build unique instruments comprised of very few metal parts. This resulted in some very unique and beautiful drums….
Slingerland introduced the "Rolling Bomber" drums with rosewood and walnut lugs, strainers, maple hoops, and other parts normally made from metal. Gretsch offered the "Defender" line, with bullet shaped maple lugs and tacked-on heads, while Ludwig & Ludwig produced the beautiful and elegant "Victory" drum sets.
The W.F.L. Drum Company incorporated a unique internal tensioning system (most likely inspired by the Leedy and Strupe "Master Model" drums of the 1930’s) constructed mostly of maple. The drums were tuned by turning a series of tension rods from outside the drum. This caused wooden rings to be pushed against the heads for tensioning. These unusual drums were known as the "Victorious" line.
The Leedy Drum Company did their part for the war effort by manufacturing the "Dreadnought" drums. Similar to Ludwig & Ludwig’s "Victory" drums, the Leedy "Dreadnoughts" utilized hard wood lugs, trap rail holders and even foot pedals and stands!

et là sur cette vieille peau crevée... Peut-être les signatures des meilleurs musiciens, copains du batteur de l'époque.
A man named Warren T.Jacobs used to own the set. His name is stamped on the bottom of the snare. This is only a partial list of some autographs I read on the snare. There are quite a few others and some I couldn't be sure of.

Voici le texte qui était joint à l'annonce !!!
Last quick 3 day auction. I lowered the price on this great set the absolute best I can and hope there's someone to appreciate it.Tons of interest and watchers but nobody pulled the trigger. I hope it finds the right home.And by the way, I have a guy who says he has the little drum for this set but I just can't guarantee it because I haven't seen it.Telephone number available upon request.This is an estate drum set and I am not a drum or musical instrument type person. I will mention what I see and include 12 photos you can enlarge but it's important you ask questions or for additional photos if need be as I probably will either miss or not know something. I beleive it's called the Super-Ludwig De Luxe Drum Set. (see last photo, catologue page found in search) Appears to be missing a small drum attached to bass drum seen in catologue. Other side has a different bracket, don't know what that's for.(maybe that muffler type thing I see in the catologue" Bass drum was painted on both skins. Band covered up on one side and a war time beauty added to the front. She is peeling and bubbling some so if you want to save her she will need restoration and preservation. The only marks found are the WFL (Ludwig) mark on the foot pedal and the Ludwig mark on the snare. The snare looks like nickel plate instead of chrome I think. Tape on top of snare, not sure if torn or for sound. Bottom of snare has tare but is very cool and nostalgic. Lots of autographs or signatures from other musicians. (I'll list some at the end) Small dent edge of one symbol.Tare from the tip of her toe to edge on front of bass.The five wooden percussion things across the top of the bass look and sound very cool. I'm not sure what they are called.A couple sets of sticks found with it and a black bakelite little rectangular percussion block. All metal will need to be cleaned up. Not sure if wood caps over symbols are original, something doesn't look right there but I could be wrong.I found out from the people that a man named Warren T.Jacobs used to own the set. His name is stamped on the bottom of the snare. This is only a partial list of some autographs I read on the snare. There are quite a few others and some I couldn't be sure of. Grant Kruno Banjo, Doris Montville Piano, Nicholas Hameza?Trumpet, F.A.Lott Trumpet, Bill Sellers Banjo, Harold Post Fiddle, Bill Leist Alto, Sam Duva?Accordian, Ben Hyatt Piano, Bud Page "Caller". Many more.The vast majority of the autographs are dated 1946 but I do not know if the set was new then.Probably older because it also says "retucked" near the edge in 1946 and the foot pedal shows some ware in the middle.

As you can see from my pictures, this drum set is a fabulous discovery, and is surprisingly well preserved. The set has been stored by it's original owner for many years where he retired to California, and it has only recently seen the light of day. The bass drum is equipped with an internal two-lightbulb assembly, to help regulate the calf heads, and since they blink, the lights really light up the cool factory painted front head. The bass drum hs two udwig "StipelGold" badges, and it is showing quite a bit of wear. The shell is solid, not cracked, and both calf heads are still useable.
The 5x14" Super-Ludwig snare drum is the older heavy 2-piece brass model, with ten tube lugs, and a fully functional Ludwig parallel snare mechanism. The snare wires are individually adjustable, and are made out of gut. Both heads on the snare drum, had to be replaced. Newer REMO heads were easily fitted to this shell.
Both drums have imitation gold hardware, it is the same type of plating used on the famous Ludwig "Black-Beauty" snare drums.
Some of the hadrware pieces were finished by the Ludwig factory in a gold-leaf color to complement the rest of the outfit. Some of the hardware items are finished in factory original nickel plate. Only the pieces that have been indicated as being gold colored, are that way.
This is such a cool kit, and it is fully functional and is extremely playable!
