Soooooooo.............You're considering selling this Slingerland Radio King kit. If you decide to do so, would you sell it with the matching 8 x 14 snare or without it?

To me, I find it annoying when someone tries selling or auctioning a useless set of drums without the matching snare drum. Then sell (or auction) the snare drum separately to someone else and/or you don't win the snare drum auction and now you're stuck with a few orphans, in hopes of finding another matching snare drum. It could be worse. You completely disassemble the drums to the bare shells and sell everything in pieces. It shows no respect for the instruments or the musicians. Just my opinion, not a comment about you personally.

Gary I would sale the Rk snare with the kit, the tacked bottom heads are already a determent to the sale anyway. I love em but the general public does not. The snare would make the dif between a sale and not.

A very good point! I feel the same way about the tacked-head drums. It looks great all together.

I think the value is in the complete matching set. By itself, the Super Radio King is not extremely valuable or rare. However, a complete matching RK set is pretty hard to find. It appears that the drums were made very late in the war or immediately after the war, judging from the badge. The floor tom is a beauty!
I vote for keeping them together.

I would try to keep the kit together if possible. If for some reason the buyer is not interested in it you can always sell or keep it. Beautiful kit BTW I'd have a hard time selling if those were mine. :)
