Slingerland snare drum help

Posts: 6 Threads: 2

Hey all!

Just acquired this slingerland snare. Curious if you all can help me identify it. Not sure what model it is or much about.

Thanks in advanced. Photos are below.

Looks to be a Student Model from 60's catalogue. ' 59 catalogue called it the Student Radio King Model.. Looks like it has a date stamp inside.. A badge serial number would also help with dating it...

Cheers

Not a thing wrong with that snare drum. True not a solid maple example but will sound better than most at the price point.
