16x16 Slingerland Radio King Floor Tom

Loading...

Hello all! I have a 16x16 RK shell that I'm looking to trade for a 16x16 RK shell. Let me explain: the one I have has a maple exterior ply for a duco finish and is drilled for mini beavertail lugs, I'm looking for one with an exterior ply of mahogany for a wrap and drilled for large beavertails.

I'll post pictures and explain as I go (I'll have to make a few posts to get all the pics in).

I don't know why the first picture is sideways. Anyway, as you can see, someone painted it white and then blue at some point. There is glue residue on top of the paint, so someone obviously wrapped it. The 2nd and 3rd pics are the top bearing edge, the 4th and 5th are the bottom, showing that the shell is slightly out of round. I am able to put an Aquarian head on both sides, but it's snug. Remo's collars are generally a little larger, I just don't have one available to try on it. Also, the bearing edges are very smooth, but there is some blue overspray on the edges and reinforcement hoops...pics of that coming soon.

I have no idea why some of the pictures are sideways. Oh well! First pic shows some minor mahogany loss behind where the leg bracket washers were/will be. Also, very minor scuffing of the interior ply, really looks like something just rubbed against, not really scuffs or scratches.

The second pic shows a very slight separation at the very end of the seem of the batter side reinforcement ring. It is not coming apart - this is only a very small section - but I want to note every little thing that isn't 100% right. Also, you can see tiny blue paint dots on the ring. I believe a light sanding will remove them...it just may take a little time.

The 3rd and 4th pics show some slight separation of the reinforcement ring from the shell on the resonant side.

These pics show some slight cracks in the exterior ply at the seem, as well as slight cracks at one of the lug points. 11 or 12 of the 16 lug points have these cracks, likely from someone over-tightening the lugs. These cracks do NOT go through the shell, only the exterior ply, and aren't wide. They could be filled easily for a nice finish.

The last pic show the crack a little better, as well as the maple exterior ply, and that the lug holes are 1-1/2" center-to-center.

Please let me know if you're interested, or if you have a 16x16 with a mahogany exterior and drilled for large beavertails.

Many thanks!

I forgot to mention that there are no extra holes in this drum. Also, while I'd love to trade for what I'm looking for, I'd be willing to sell it.
