The Radio King® snares are crafted to capture the essence of the Slingerland sound and legacy. Blending vintage authenticity with modern durability, this Radio King Snare forges a new path ahead with rich, warm tone honed by precision manufacturing.
True to its vintage design, the Radio King Snare features a steam-bent solid shell that's shaped from a hand-selected North American Maple plank. Featuring a 30-degree bearing edge, this shell has a thick and buttery feel with full and punchy projection.
This Radio King Snare is fitted with Nickel-over-Steel 'Stick Chopper' hoops for tight and crisp rim shots with controlled overtones. An important element of the Radio King is the 3-Point Throw-off with Adjustable Snare Gates. This setup gives you control from wide open to responsive and sharp.
This drum is finished with the iconic Slingerland cloud badge, Nickel-plated hardware, and vintage-inspired lacquer and wrap finishes. This is not just a drum, but a statement.
