The Slingerland 14" x 6.5" Radio King Artist Snare Drum represents the return of a true American classic. Known for its warmth, sensitivity, and unmistakable tone, the Radio King is built around a single-ply solid maple shell with maple reinforcement rings—delivering the rich, resonant sound that made it a studio and stage favorite for generations.
