Slingerland Radio King 5.5 X 14 Orange Glitter Finish Snare Drum. Mint. Model No. RKO5514. Serial No. 51774 The Slingerland Radio King® snare is, without doubt the most famous and most recorded drum in the history of modern music. In 1995, Slingerland started production of these snares exclusively in the Nashville plant; in 2003, this production moved to the Conway, Arkansas facility. Slingerland has gone to great lengths to ensure that the sound quality of today's Radio King® matches that of the classic original. Shell Like the original, the shell used to construct this snare is a single piece of steam-bent maple with reinforcement hoops on both top and bottom. This combination gives a deep, rich tone frequently called the "fat sound." Other features include a heavy throw-off, 13" 16-strand snares, coated white batter heads, and clear snare heads and the legendary brass cloud badge. Hoops The Radio King® Original model uses an 8-lug, chrome-plated brass stick chopper hoop engraved with the original Slingerland Radio King® logo. Finish This Radio King® snare comes in Orange Glitter finish.
