50's Slingerland Parts Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 22 Threads: 4

I am currently restoring my dad's 1955 Slingerland Radio King Windsor Ensemble and need parts. In '55 on for his 16th birthday he had the choice between a used car or a drumset. He picked the drumset and it is still "running" today. I want to restore it and get all the original parts that would have come with the set. Below is what I need. I appreciate any help you all can lend to me.

Slingerland 1955 Radio King Widsor Ensemble 6-N (Red Sparkle)

2-16" Radio King Calf Heads (with the "Radio King" symbol and lightning bolts)

2-13" Radio King Calf Heads (with the "Radio King" symbol and lightning bolts)

2- Original L-Arms for cymbals (WITHOUT knurling)

1- Krupa Hi Hat Stand

1- Multiclamp for cowbell and woodblock

1-Cowbell

1-Woodblock

*Basically all the hardware (chrome) and even a snare if anyone has one.....

(pics to come soon of my progress once the weather warms up here in Wisconsin der hey)

If you have a 22/13/16 you have a Krupa Deluxe......

Even Mo bedda !

I'm just saying this since you are looking for two 13 and two 16 inch RK heads?

Here's my 56 Windsor.......... 22/13 with Super Krupa snare

KEVIN!!! DUDE! That's so sweet! It said that you could add the floor tom later in the ad. My Dad says that he did not get the floor with it. I found it at a later date and added it. The other funny story is that he ordered BDP and Slingerland sent the red sparkle to the store. In the ad it shows a red sparkle set. Anyway, Kevin thanks for sharing that it's inspiring.

That's nuts, man.... I just bought a perfectly matching '56 floor to add to mine as well....

I've been just too busy to get the Windsor out and put the floor next to her.
