Slingerland Buddy Rich Outfit
The endorsement kit of the big band era's loudest drummer

Slingerland
Slingerland began in Chicago selling ukuleles and banjos and moved into drums in the 1920s. The solid-shell Radio King snare and Gene Krupa's endorsement made it the American rival to Ludwig through the swing era. The brand has changed hands repeatedly since the 1980s.
