“Very solid Players Vintage Slingerland Snare Drum stamped 1958!”Jared, in the listing
Very solid Players Vintage Slingerland Snare Drum stamped 1958! This is a Radio King Student Model that's been re-wrapped at some point in Champagne Sparkle. Everything else appears to be original and the Snare is fully set up ready to play.
Not only do I love the colour of this snare but the Single Flange Hoops are a very classic Vintage touch.
This shell is Mahogany/Poplar/Mahogany with solid Maple Re-Rings. A total classic shell construction and vintage sound.
