The Slingerland Drum Company has launched the Radio King outfit, Studio King line and a selection of spare parts and accessories. The new Radio King drums, built in the U.S. with three-ply mahogany-poplar-mahogany shells, blend modern precision craftsmanship with the tonal legacy of its predecessors, featuring nickel-plated hardware, “Stick Saver” hoops, and classic Radio King cloud badges. Inspired by the 1970s studio era, the Studio King Outfit offers five-ply maple-poplar shells for warm, versatile tones and medium resonance, with road-ready hardware and a newly designed oval badge. Both lines provide multiple shell pack configurations and finishes, providing drummers a range of options from classic wraps to high-gloss lacquers.
