Let me use a baseball term on you, It's a Home run!!!!, if another bidder came in on this you would have paid twice what you got it for, feel bad now!!?? this is a black gold duco student model radio king, take a magnet and see if the top stick saver rim is brass or steel, magnet will stick to the steel not to the, brass, WELL DONE!!!

MAN! I'm feeling good for you. That's a very sweet drum for a VERY good price. I love that Duco and it appears to be in good shape.

Seller said '59, but it might be a year or two older than that.

The 3-point strainer is gone in the '59 catalog anyway.

And the 3-point strainer alone, complete as it appears to be, is worth what you paid for the drum.

Awesome score.... !!

thanks guys, once I get the drum, im gonna see what type of rim I need to get it back into shape, I hope it sounds as good as it looks

If the top rim is brass I have a new double flange chrome over brass rim if you want to trade it ?

Got the drum today.. Overnight delivery bc the seller is located a few hundred miles away. Drum is in superb condition.. Original bottom head still mint. The hoop is brass so I need a brass slingy bottom hoop for it.. Really a beautiful drum.. I can't believe it's in this great of shape

The bottom hoop is the original one (just fyi). The top "stick saver" has been added probably as a player didnt like the clips getting in the way of rim shots. Just wanted to make sure you know that to put the drum back to original you need a top hoop and 8 clips....not a stick saver bottom hoop.

Sorry if I miss understood your situation. Sweet score!

Actually, a sticksaver rim was an option for an extra $4.00 .

So, you could go either way.... as long as it is a COB sticksaver.

I would be Interested in the rim clips if you are going to sale them?
