The drums clearly appear to have seen very little use
The set consists of 100% original Slingerland issue parts
including basically unplayed calfskin heads, the only exception
is the
wing screw on the Cymbal L arm clamp
All hoops are in great shape
The Floor tom and rack tom being engraved Sling RK hoops on top
and bottom
Both toms feature the Dodd mufflers
Edges are in untouched factory condition!
The pearl finish and nickel plating are in Great shape
These are classic 3 ply shells with a beautiful Mahogany ply build
Sizes are 9 x 13 16 x 16 and 14 x 26
High quality collectors grade sets such as this sell well in excess
of $3000 in the collectors
market but thereare a few tiny flaws that help bring this set to
market for far less
than one would expect to pay for a super clean, rare finish, Radio
King set
The only flaws with this set are as follows.
A light fixture was attached to the interior of the bass drum via
the inner ring,
there are no holes in the shell as it was mounted to the interior
maple ring.
In doing so there was a split caused in the ring The
3 1/8 inch holes
have been plugged and the split associated with the holes has been
glued
The only other issue is a small split in the finish on the FT near
a leg mount which caused
a little stress on the shell interior. It did not penetrate the
shell and causes
no ill effect but should ne noted in the respect of full disclosure
The set sounds fabulous, very warm and power full with
a sound only these RK sets can generate
Also included is the fully operational Bass spurs, floor tom legs
with mounts
Tom mounting arm as well as a bass drum cymbal L mount with arm
are also here
