1952 Slingerland RK 7X14 - Page 1

I just picked this up from the original owner along with a matching Radio King 14x22 and set of bongos he had purchased at the same time. I can't wait to pull it apart and clean it up! I'm hoping to locate a 9x13 and a 16x16 to complete the kit...

Love that Radio King! How does it sound?

Thanks for the kind comments! The drum already sounds great and I haven't done a thing to it! I just finished restoring a mid-70's Slingerland kit, (14x24, 9x13, 10x14, (probably won't use the 10x14 but I figured I'd fix it up just in case) 16x16, 16x18 and a Krupa Sound King 5.5x14) so this 1952 Radio King snare (as well as the matching 14x22 bass drum and matching bongos) will be my next 'restoration' project...If anyone sees a matching Radio King 9x13 and/or matching 16x16 please let me know!

Thanks!
