-Slingerland Drum Company-
Slingerland is a historic drum manufacturing company in the United States.
Founded in 1912, the company initially manufactured banjos, but began producing drums in the 1920s and reigned as one of the leading American drum brands until around 1980. Many world-renowned drummers, such as Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, used their drums, and the company produced several models bearing their names.
Furthermore, the "Radio King," the pinnacle of single-ply snare drums introduced in 1936, continues to be a beloved and iconic Slingerland model worldwide.
Although it changed ownership several times since the 1980s, it was recently revived by DW, and has been reborn and revived for modern drummers while retaining its timeless sound.

-RKD6514 Gibson ERA Radio King Snare Drum-
Introduced in 1936, the "Radio King," the pinnacle of single-ply snare drums, remains a beloved and iconic Slingerland model worldwide.
This model was manufactured after 1994, when it became part of the guitar brand Gibson. The emblem (Nashville badge) is stamped with "Made in Nashville, Tennessee," suggesting it was manufactured between 1994 and 1998.

By applying steam bending, we succeeded in forming the shell from thick, solid maple wood, which is normally difficult to process. The edges are reinforced with rings made of the same maple wood to withstand the pressure from metal parts and the head.
This model comes standard with die-cast hoops, offering an exquisite balance between rich shell resonance and a well-defined attack.
While responsive to intricate stick work, it delivers a unique sound with a rich, warm, and resonant tone, and the snare wires provide excellent response and natural sustain.
It boasts an extremely wide tuning range, providing a pleasant snare sound across all pitches, from low to mid and high.
Please experience the amazing sound that is still loved by many drummers and continues to be used in professional settings.
