After years of waiting, Slingerland fans can finally rejoice at the resurrection of this iconic brand!

Now being made in Oxnard, CA, the new Radio King series drums feature all the specifications drummers are used to seeing on vintage models – mahogany/poplar shells, nickel plated hardware, Stick Saver hoops – but without all the quirks and wear that makes those old drums, well, a little hard to use.
