1960 Krupa RK

Posts: 639 Threads: 28

It took me quite a while, but I finally got this RK back together. I purchased the shell and some hardware from a forum member. Thanks Deadhead. I have been searching for parts about a year I think, maybe longer? I had to reglue the Re-rings in some places and some cosmetic repairs inside the shell. I have some non original parts as well. But it looks and sounds pretty good. I bought the hoops, the butt end snare gate, Puersound vintage snare wires, the muffler and the 3 point strainer. I manufactured the bar on the butt side that holds the snare wire in place. Some of the screws I purchased at ACE hardware. Here are some pics

Time for me to jive in.

Dang cool drum and definitely one to hold close. I love these Slingys. So doggone classy. No offense to other collectors, but gimme a sweet wood Slingy over those overpriced metal thangs any day of the week. Lovely. Simply lovely.

The pattern of the Black Diamond Pearl just looks magical. Violin

Thanks for showing,

Thanks for the kind words guys. I really like how this drum sounds. I have an Aquarian vintage head on it now, but I want to put another head on it. I have a clear ambassador on the snare side that I'm happy with. I'm thinking a coated Ambassador for the batter. Any suggestions from other RK players? . . . .James
