In 1939, Henry Heanon Slingerland revolutionized percussion with this snare drum design, capturing the precision engineering that would make his company legendary among drummers. Filed during the swing era's golden age, when big bands ruled America's dance halls and recording studios, this patent represents the technical innovation driving popular music's evolution.
Slingerland's detailed technical drawings reveal the mechanical elegance behind his drum's superior sound projection and snare response. Founded in 1912, the Slingerland Drum Company would go on to supply instruments for jazz legends like Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, making this patent blueprint a piece of American music history.
