Early 1950s Slingerland 'Student Model Radio King' 14x5.5" in original White Marine Pearl

Brass and Tan Chicago badge dating it to 1950-53.

3-ply mahogany shell with re-rings.

Nickel over brass hardware including original Rapid strainer with full extender piece, single flange hoops, tension rods and claws. Two hoop claws aren’t original.

The drum is in great condition for its age with no major aging, just minor to be expected aging. Please see photos for condition.

Butt end is missing the back plate, so wires are tied in rather than strapped in.

Stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop in May 2025.

Fitted with brand new Remo Vintage Ambassador and Ambassador Snare Side heads with brand new Puresound Custom Pro snare wires.
