Description Brand: Slingerland Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Exact Year: 1940s
This is a beautiful 1940s-vintage 24x14 inch Slingerland Radio King bass drum. The luscious white marine pearl finish is intact and shows only slight fading. I bought this gem 30 years ago with a set that included another, identical bass drum. I literally never played this one and, in fact, seldom took it out of the case, which is included in this sale. This is an exquisite musical instrument, and, considering its age, is in excellent condition, with only a few minor blemishes (see photos). The seams are tight, the bearing edges are smooth and clean, and the lugs and cymbal holders have no pitting, cracks, or rust. Serious musicians who appreciate the look, feel, and warmth of vintage equipment know that the names Slingerland and Radio King mean exceptional craftsmanship and a quality of tone unmatched by any other drums. The drum has been professionally packed and double-boxed for shipping and is ready to go. Consequently, the box is very large (30x30x41 inches). Please email with questions. Thanks for bidding!
