1953-56 Slingerland 'Student Model Radio King' 14x5.5" in original White Marine Pearl.
3-ply maple shell with reinforcing hoops
Stamped brass Chicago badge, dating the drum to 1953-56.
Original chrome hardware including ‘rim-shot’ brass hoops, complete 'rapid' snare strainer, tension rods, internal dampener lugs and butt end.
The drum is finished in original white marine pearl which has mellowed beautifully over time.
The mounting screws for the butt end guard are not original.
The drum came to me in a bit of a state (see last photo), but has cleaned up delightfully !
See photos for condition.
Freshly cleaned in my workshop in October 2024.
Fitted with brand new Remo heads and Puresound steel wires.
