Ok, did anyone on here grab the mid Slingy Radio Kings in red sparkle in Cleveland? What a deal for $500!!! Included the matching snare. Seller said they were gone really quick. If someone got them, post some better pics!

Is that a 22 or 24 BD?

That badge is circa 1956......year I was born!

I had a set in WMP with that badge around 1986-87....

Don't see too many in RS.......nice grab!

Yes very nice RK's. Great price too. Red sparkle is a cool finish. I'd love to have one in red or gold sparkle someday! Please post some better pics when you can. Thx.

Thanks guys! The bass drum is a 24". She needs a bath badly but will look great when she is all done! I need to find correct spurs and 10 correct t-rods and claws.

Can anyone recommend the best heads for this kit? I'm thinking the Vintage Ambassadors top and bottom on the toms, Emperor on the batter of the bass, Ambassador on the reso, and the typical Ambassadors on the snare? I'll probably get the "Puresound Clamshell Snares" as well.

She will probably be for sale in the next few weeks if anyone on here is interested. I have to many drum sets as it is but this was just to good of a deal to pass up!

Figured I would post some pictures! These may be the best sounding kit I have ever played! All the chrome hardware cleaned up nice, found the extremely rare spurs for the the bass, and add Aquarian American Vintage heads top and bottom to each shell. Anyone have any idea the value of this kit? Sizes are 24, 16, 13, matching snare.
