Great looking! The only thing better than a picture of a sweet Radio King snare is a picture of TWO sweet Radio King snares :). Great job with the restoration!

Hey Mak:

BEAUTIFUL job!! You are a wonderful craftsman.

Wanna make me a collet for my Gretch bass drum where someone drilled the big hole for a ludwig T Mount?

Dadgummit Dolfan54, I'm such a knucklehead! DOH I just realized I miss read your post asking about the drum key holder. So today I asked my dad about it. He said he ordered it out of a catolog at the music store where he bought the snare, but, he cannot remember the brand name. Here is a picture of the back side if that will help on the identity of the key holder. I'd like to know, too. It's hard to tell in the picture, the hole for the drum key is off-center.

I also found out during todays conversation that he also ordered a Slingerland WMP rack tom, floor tom & a couple of Zildjian cymbals (I forgot to ask what sizes) with this snare. His bass drum is a used 22" WFL in WMP with a rail tom holder. These are the drums he uses to this day. It's actually been quit a few years, like 25+ since I've ever taken a good look at his outfit, or even cared till now! LoLoLoLo
