Slingerland Radio King late
1940s
White Lacquer finish
2pc Set: 9x13" Tom, 14x20"
Bass Drum.
"Streamline" lugs,
"Stick Chopper" rims, rim clips. ALL parts are nickel
plated except for the bass hoop mount tom holder which is chrome
plated.
NOTE: bass hoop mount tom holder
is incomplete.
Three ply shell w/massive Maple
reinforcing rings.
14x20" Bass Drum (rare
size), ALL "Streamline" lugs, T-rods & claws (nickel
plated). Cymbal mount appears to be unoriginal.
Original Slingerland badge was
replaced with a metal washer. Original calf skin heads on both
sides, 'soft' case.
Three ply shell w/mahogany interior
veneer. The cymbal mount is affixed exactly opposite of the vent
hole. The large 'M' on the interior to the right of the cymbal
mount signified the exterior veneer as Maple. This was necessary
for a lacquer finish.
Both of these fine drums came
at different time, from different sources. But, both have the
same white (faded) lacquer finish.
This 2pc set sounds fabulous!
