Slingerland Radio King Outfit

The swing-era Slingerland kit

Radio King outfits paired the solid-shell snare with maple toms and bass drums, and Gene Krupa's endorsement made them the most visible drums in America through the late 1930s and 1940s.

  • 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.
