1963-1970 Slingerland 'Gene Krupa Sound King' Snare Drum
Sized 14x5.5"
Chrome over Brass shell
8 lug design
Niles, IL badge with serial number: 202269.
All original hardware including chrome over brass "rim-shot hoops", Zoomatic snare strainer, internal tone control, tension rods and butt end.
This is a really lovely example of a highly underrated drum with only very minor aging, scuffs and scratches.
The bar from the butt end is missing but when using modern wires, I bypass this part anyway to allow wires to sit flush.
Every one of these drums I’ve sold have gone on to be prized possessions by all their owners. They really are wonderful drums that would be 2 or 3 times the price if it was a Ludwig.
Please see all photos for condition.
Stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop.
Fitted with brand new Remo Coated Ambassador, Ambassador snare side heads, with brand new Puresound Custom Pro Steel 20 strand wires.
