Vintage Slingerland Radio King Drum Kit 1955-1959 Knotty Pine Bass Drum + Snare

Description

Here we have a very cool vintage Slingerland Radio King Drum Kit.  Based on what we have researched, it is a 1955-1959. Knotty Pine Lacquer finish. Made in the USA.  It is all original as far as we can tell. It is a 2- piece kit with a 22x12" bass drum and a 14x5 1/2" snare drum.  It comes in a carry box that fits everything except the bass drum and hi-hat stand.  It is a complete vintage drum kit.  Included in this sale is the bass drum, snare drum, snare stand, kick pedal, bass drum mounted cymbal stand, cowbell, hi-hat stand, music stand, hi-hats, crash cymbal, 2-sets of sticks, brushes,
maracas, and a drum key.  Everything you see if what you get.  The drums are in good condition and do not appear to have any cracks or issues. All skins are original and are in good shape.  The cymbals are Zildjian and are original. The throne is complete but the padding is dried out and will collapse if it was used, so we would suggest having it restored or re-padded. The carry case has wear and tear on it. Not suitable for travel at the moment as the handle is worn and there is an open seam on the side.  It could be repaired. Who cares about the case anyway... the drum kit is what we care about.  We would assume that is a bit of a rare find to come across a kit like this in all original condition with everything you see.  Everything is working.  All thumb screws turn, all stands slide, and everything tightens and loosens as it should.  The hardware has tarnish and general patina from its age. It can all be lubricated and probably brought back to luster if you choose.  All in all, a super cool and vibey drum kit for the drum enthusiast or maybe even for a studio.  Feel free to ask any questions you might have and we will try our best to answer them.
