What snare do i have

[Bloody Rich]

hi there,

since a couple of years i play a slingerland black diamond pearl snare drum.
on the inside is a stamp which reads "May 1963"
The serial Number is:62810 and ist has a Niles, Illinois Badge.

can someone tell me more?

thanks

Nope.....

We need the number of lugs, shell type, strainer type. A
Jumping2 photo or two would answer most of that

it looks a lot like the "artist model"
in fact i am pretty sure that this is mine.

two more questions:
how does the "radio king" differ
and what is it worth approx. ( its in near mint condition only some pittings/pimples on the chrome parts)

cheers!

These are in the $200 +/- range for your finish and more for a rare finish.


The Radio King name usually was a single ply drum and used during different years
of Slingerland History.



Your snare is probably a 3-ply drum.
