Up for sale is this 3 piece Slingerland Radio King kit circa 1952-53. The kit has mahogany shells that have been refinished and there have been some slight modifications to the kit that are minor and can easily be "fixed" if needed. The kit includes a 13"x9" rack tom that mounts to a rail consolette, 16"x16" floor tom and a 22"x14" bass drum.
The rail consolette has been replaced with a Ludwig consolette but there have been no extra holes drilled to make it fit. There is an extra set of holes on the bass drum on the opposite side of the drum that look like they were factory drilled but have no hardware mounted to them. You can also see that the original claws and t-rods were replaced because they had rusted past a point of salvage. These can be replaced by the buyer but do not have any effect on the sound. The last modification is that the hoops of this bass drum have been inlaid with leather that has been tooled with the previous owners name.
The kit sounds amazing, the toms have been outfitted with power stroke heads and an Evans bass drum head. The snare drum shown in the picture is a 6 lug Ludwig that is being sold separately. I am including a Slingerland bass drum pedal with the kit. The front bass drum head pictured will not be included but there will be a front bass drum head. I am asking $1200 for the kit plus shipping. I will include the snare for $1350
