1940’s Slingerland “Radio King” White Marine Pearl Drum Set

Here is a 1940’s Slingerland Radio King five piece “Swing” outfit finished in original White Marine Pearl. The beautiful Marine Pearl finish has mellowed to a nice creamy white color and all drums are an exact color match . The single tension bass drum is quite unique in that both heads can be tightened from the drummer’s seat. This really works well and tunes both heads perfectly. Radio King bass drums are famous for their big fat sound and this one is no exception. Combined with the three Radio King tom toms and the legendary Gene Krupa snare drum, this drum set will drive even the biggest band!

The condition of the drum set is excellent and there are no extra holes or damage in any of the drum shells.

$2495
