Late 30s/early 40s Slingerland Radio King kit. 9×13 tom, virgin 16×16 tom with cradle (cradle is unpolished and as found), 14×20 kick, and 5.5×14 snare with 3 point throw-off. Snare stand, clamp-on spurs, and cradle are included. I failed to photograph them, but each drum has a Radio King engraved hoop. Original calf skin on the bass drum batter and floor tom batter. 1 of the T-rods on the floor tom have the handles broken off. The resonant side kick hoop is a 60s Rogers with the original inlay glued in. The original hoop had been cracked and repaired so many times there was no way to repair it. A few of the bass drum t-rods are slightly bent. Edges are in solid shape around the drums. 1 replacement screw on 1 of the floor tom lugs. This kit is what Id call a survivor. I acquired it from the original owners daughter. These drums were extensively gigged around the tri-state area. Based on some pictures she shared with me, Id say the snare and toms were originally paired with a larger kick. At some point, the snare was professionally cut down from what looked like a 7×14 to a 5.5×14. Im guessing the cloud badge on the 20 was transferred from the larger kick, as the grommet, while of the period, does not look original. The drum is definitely a 40s or early 50s Radio King based on the size of the re-rings. As you can see from the pictures, the wrap has faded somewhat unevenly around the drums, but they still play well together. The top of the kick drum has a few dead spots. But overall, these beauties are shining. The item “1 owner 1940s Slingerland Radio King drum set in gold sparkle 13-16-20-5.5×14″ is in sale since Tuesday, October 29, 2019.
