Well, I wound up keeping my Slingerland red glass glitter kit and I picked up a Radio King snare in silver sparkle. I believe it's from the 60's, I think it looks cool with the kit. Needless to say, it sounds great.

Mark!
That's because it's a 2nd generation/60's era 3 point! Here it is on my 1967 Slingerland Radio King in WMP. No thread hijack intended Johnny... but thought you might like to see it too!

PS: NOT a model that BR ever played, but classy enough where when I found it, I had to buy it.. and .. I have gigged it many times too. GREAT sounding drum as JR would attest!

Yeah... I figured that was a subtle difference between the two.. and .. of interest: It's not that it's adjustable per se, but more of a way one can rotate the handle down and out of the way so the drum will fit in a drum case! My 1955 Slingerland RK had that feature as well, and I did indeed have to reposition the handle for packing/transport! Here's a pic of the 1955!

Yeah Tommy I have two of the very same drum, it was the lever that threw me thanks. This in fact is the newest Radio King snare I've owned all of mine are 30's 40's models. this is a 52 model

Indeed... his handle extension doesn't quite look OEM. In function however, no problem! Your '52 is a BEAUTY Mark!!

Great looking kit and snare JR. I can see why you're keeping them. I've got a love affair with Radio Kings myself. I've got a late '50s Gene Krupa WMP model and a Cloud Badge BDP. Both are 7 x 14. I'm on the lookout for an 8 x 14. I've seen a few, but they were in bad shape.
Congratulations on such a fine kit.
