1940’s Slingerland 5.5x14 Buddy Rich model Radio King Snare Drum

This is a nice example of a Buddy Rich model made during the 1940’s. Like many drummers, Buddy preferred the simpler design of this snare drum, made without the Radio King extended snares and adjustable brackets. The practical unadorned design makes this drum a great choice for everyday use. The dependable Buddy Rich Radio King snare drum will stand up to the hardest playing.

· Original White Marine Pearl

· Three point strainer

· Double flanged hoops (top hoop is not stamped “Slingerland Radio King”)

· Solid maple shell

· Fantastic sound!

· Plastic heads fit rather tight like many Radio King drums but do not affect the great sound or playability.

· Small hairline split in pearl has been permanently repaired and is hard to see.

· Snare wires not included
