1962 Slingerland Student Model Radio King

Loading...

Here's the Student Model Radio King snare I posted in the "student model Radio Kings" thread, but now since polished up.

There's an engraving in the reso rim, "EUSD OK 185." I bought it in San Diego, and Oak Knoll Elementary School is part of Encinitas Unified School District, which seems to explain part of its history.

I don't remember any drum sets in elementary school, though, just cowbells, sandblocks, bells, and in the later grades, autoharps.

It's in great shape for a drum of its age, much less one that spent time being played by elementary schoolers.

Very nice drum, if funds allow I will one day get one of these, I think I'm in for a long wait though! I wouldn't mind trying the 3 ply shell.

I love the jazz era
