Posts: 520 Threads: 167

I wish I was a little better versed in Slingerland to just look at this photo and know. BUT... can you all tell me if this snare is a Radio King?

Many thanks,

Kevin

Thanks for the help!

I'm wondering how many casings are cracked, and I see it is preeeetty rusty.

What should I offer on this thing...anyone know?

"By this thing" .. do you mean all the drums in the photo ? or just the snare ?

That will depend on how rusty the original parts are and if they can be cleaned up to shine again, and how many broken or missing parts there are. I'd say $200-300 from what I can see. It's quite possibly worth much more if there are no more broken lugs or any other broken or missing parts.

And tdennis beat me to the question: Do you have a shot at all the drums, or just the snare?

The snare is probably 'where it's at' with the drums. The other drums are missing a lot of casings, the bass is missing a rim, and they are pretty rough.

So I guess, I am asking both, haha

Yes, I have a shot at all the drums.

Apologies, I guess I should have listed what I know about them all.

28x14 bass, 13x9 bass, 14x? other mounted tom. I see drums only, no mounting hardware, stands, cymbal arms, etc.

Get them all if you can get a good price! Parts are available, but not plentiful. That would be an AWESOME kit to have. If you can, DO IT!!!

this is a Hollywood ace model .7x14" it looks like!, there is one broken lug that is visible also there is some ply separation on the left snare bed. an easy fix. offer him $250.00 and see what that gets you.

Your drummers not much good is he!? What you need is someone that's as good as me. ! John Henry Bonham !!
