Experience the legendary tone and craftsmanship of Slingerland with the Radio King Artist Snare Drum in Blue and Silver Duco Lacquer. Measuring 6.5" x 14", this snare revives the iconic Radio King specifications, blending vintage-inspired design with modern playability for studio recordings, live performances, and professional setups.
Constructed with a 3-ply mahogany/poplar/mahogany shell, a maple reinforcement ring, and 30-degree bearing edges, the Radio King Artist delivers smooth, punchy tone with depth, clarity, and lively response. Period-correct hardware, including Stick Saver hoops, Streamline-style lugs, and a built-in tone control muffler, provides both reliability and aesthetic charm. The optimized Zoomatic throw-off system ensures fast, precise snare action, while 20-strand wires deliver controlled, responsive articulation.
Handcrafted in Oxnard, California, this snare combines classic Slingerland style with modern performance, making it ideal for jazz, swing, rock, pop, R&B, or any style requiring a dynamic, vintage-inspired backbeat.
