Nope, not a Radio King (as if you needed us to confirm that). ;)

I think I might've seen this drum on another eBay auction recently, although the seller's ID doesn't ring a bell. It stands out because the seller mentioned in that previous auction that they couldn't figure out how the drum got a dent from the inside.

The seller may also be wrong about there being a problem with the stand. I've seen plenty of Slingy stands from that era where the base of the stand slid down into place and didn't have a wing screw to tighten. Just slide it down to open the legs and that's it.

I saw this myself when it was listed,I don't know why Tina posted it this way here boyfriend knows better, he is the actual seller of all the drums and such, it's a festival model not an RK!

Your drummers not much good is he!? What you need is someone that's as good as me. ! John Henry Bonham !!

Thanks once again vintagemore2000. I figured since it came with the stand, case and even a practice pad it was worth at least $120 even if is it steel.

I have a very similar drum, eight lug, no lines in the shell with large round knob muffler, but it is actually a left over brass shell. Make sure to do the magnet test when you acquire it!

I think you did better than that with the drum alone.

WOW, didn't expect my snare to show up here on the forum! Sorry about the mistake in my listing.

No sweat - I knew it wasn't a RK all along and really liked the condition and all the original stuff that came with it - and especially the price. Can't wait to get it, thanks.
