Two very cool Project Kits

Loading...

Boys

I have two project kits that I have been unable to complete. It would be a crying shame if these drums were not given a second shot at life.

1. Three late 40’s Radio King shells and hardware. 24” bass drum 14” Tom 12” Tom. The drums have a rare lacquer paint job that mimics a yellowed WMP wrap. Slingerland didn’t produce very many of these kits and even fewer exist today. Extremely worthy of restoration. Gorgeous Radio King 3-ply mahogany shells with wide rock maple re-rings. The best drums from the best era of Slingerland. Photos to follow shortly.

$300.00 plus $60.00 shipping in lower 48

2. Clear acrylic Bop kit. I bought this project kit because of the unique sizes of the drums and because it was my intention to save the shells by adding wrap. I was going to wrap them in Champagne sparkle.

Three of the shells have well repaired cracks. One is just fine no cracks or repairs. All repairs have been very well done and the shells are sound, ready to reassemble into a working kit. Because of the cosmetic issues (repaired cracks) they are perfect candidates for a wrap job! Fibes had great success selling wrapped fiberglass drums. Great little project kit in rare sizes for acrylic shell. I’ve never seen a 14” x 14” clear acrylic floor tom much less a 14” x 18” bass drum. Worthy of refurbishment.

12” & 13” rack toms

14”x 18” bass drum

14”x 14” floor Tom

$300.00 plus $75.00 shipping in lower 48

Photos to follow. Again- all cracks have been stabilized and the shells are ready for wrap. Perfect club kit - small drums easy to haul and set up.

PM serious inquiries- these won’t last long. First come first served.

What brand are the clear acrylic drums?

I’ll get some photos posted this weekend.

Dan - the acrylic shells are RCI with vintage Ludwig lugs and hardware. The lugs are from a 70’s Vistalite kit. The bass drum has curved (70s) spurs, and a diamond plate dual Tom holder. It’s a great little kit that deserves saving. Photos to follow shortly.

The acrylic shells might be great unwrapped. I would check with any wrap on those, it might make them too large to fit inside of the hoops with a head on them. I learned that the hard way. Don't be like me.

If you trim the wrap back 1/2” from the bearing edges heads go on with no problems and you won’t see any gaps from any angle.

Photos of both kits.

I have a bunch of hardware for both kits which I will include. These drums are being sold as -project kits- in as-is condition. Sales are final - no returns. Buy with confidence that the kits are as described. Thanks all for checking out my gear.
