I'm interested in sending my beloved Vintage Slingerland Drums to a good home. They are Chicago Black & Gold Badge date stamp inside small Tom says Jan 15 1959. I don't know if these are actually "Radio Kings" or not, there is nothing to identify them as such.
9x13 Tom, 16x16 Floor Tom, 5 1/2x14 Snare w/clam shell strainer. 14x22 Bass. Woodblock/Cowbell Assembly, All hardware, sticks, brushes, & CYMBALS!
The set was purchased "used" for me by my dad in 1964. The only "after market" work that has been done is someone drilled 3 small holes in the Bass Drum to mount an extra tom. I have removed the hardware, but the holes are there. They can be plugged, or you can leave the screws in the holes. I know it damages the value of the drum, but it is very minor. The Hi-Hat is a Ludwig Spur-Lok. There isn't much I can tell you that isn't in the picture. (I have others, and can provide extreme close-ups, by e-mail, it is too complicated to upload pictures on this site...everything is always TOO BIG!!!) The cymbals are Avedis Zildjian 20" Rock Ride, 14" Avedis Zildjian Hi- Hats, additional 14" Paiste (probably a Hi-Hat) & 16" Sizzle Zilco by Azco Canada. Everything included, I'm looking for serious offers, but there is lots of room for negotiation...don't be afraid to ask or make offers. I'm in the Tampa, FL area.
These drums have been well used, probably slightly abused (ask about their "story") and were set up in one place for over 25 years before returning to my possession. I look forward to answering any questions or inquiries.
