drum tone that every player has tried to get.
Your drum receives the highest praise from all
who hear it.

drummers to get a Slingerland—the only 'Re-

"I have, during the past twenty years, taught
many successful drummers, and have been con-
tinuously engaged at the prominent theatres.

land's biggest theatre, the Uptown, under the
leadership of Jose Acosta."
