Slingerland 1940s Radio King, Black Diamond Pearl 16-Lug, 1-Ply Solid Maple Shell. Up for your consideration & buying pleasure is an awesome 1940s Aluminum ‘War Time’—Cloud Badge, “New Super Krupa” Slingerland “Radio King“ Snare Drum, Sporting a beautiful Black Diamond Pearl. 
No ‘extra holes‘ or modifications.

 A very desirable Slingerland Model, this early RK has the New Super Krupa – “Clam Shell” strainer with Slingerland RK Extended Snare Wires. 


This snare has a Solid Black Diamond Pearl Finish
. There are no issues in the Black Diamond Pearl finish associated with playing and age.
This finish has almost no fade and is in beautiful condition. The seam is held up tightly Just like it left the Chicago factory many years ago.

 As collectors, we refer to this snare as the “Clam Shell”. 

The clam shell handle does have some rust along with the clam shells, However, this is typical plating degrading as the plating on these parts was very thin.

 The 40s Slingerland’s Catalog describes this snare as the New “Super Krupa Model.”
This snare has the 7×14” Solid 1-Ply Maple Shell with the renown Super Krupa – “Clam Shell” strainer design, Original Extended Snare wires.


However, the first “Krupa” model Radio King cataloged, technically had the 3-point strainer,
8-Streamlined lugs and was 
6.5 x14“. The later “Hollywood Ace Model” was 7×14” equipped with 
16-small beaver-tail lugs. 
 Slingerland also added a “Buddy Rich,” Center lug model with 
8-center lugs, simple butt plate. And later a 16-Lug model, simple butt plate to their Catalog.

This RK Snare Drum is Sporting the original Art Deco 40s Aluminum “War Time” Badge. A Nice Tight original factory installed grommet.

In addition, this R.K.snare is in very good condition and mostly original with two “New” Evans plastic drum heads. A very nice thick solid Maple shell & heads go on fine.

The Vintage finish has that Old School BDP Finish vibe that “Slingerland” made popular along with WMP. 

This Black finish has the old geometric pattern in the BDP with a great antique pattern, very vibrant. Also, this finish has stayed very vibrant showing great coloration & condition. There are no imperfections from age & usage.

 Again The Seam is very tight and solid. 




Please read this article in Not So Modern Drummer Magazine, July 31st 2016 edition on line reading for more in depth history on the Super Krupa Model, ‘Clam Shell‘ snare drum!

Overall, the hardware is all original.
These BDP finishes are very hard to find without issues in such decent condition.

If you have been searching for a matching RK snare for your Black Diamond Pearl 30s-40s Slingerland Kit, or just want to add a Classic Vintage Snare, this drum would be a great choice.

The shell construction is the desirable, 
1-Ply, Solid Maple Shell with Solid Maple reinforcing hoops. A very thick Solid Shell, that is beautiful inside.
Many Radio Kings where made with the 3-Ply shell.

This drum is equipped with the full flanged Nickel Over Brass rims.
A very nice “in round” solid Maple shell, as heads go on decently.

The highly desirable Art Deco Engraving
“Slingerland Radio King” is stamped on the top rim. The bottom rim is a full flanged 4 Rivet design with a rectanglesnare gate opening.
All remaining hardware is Nickel Plated as well.

The 16-Small Beaver-tail Lugs are Crafted in Art Deco design and fashion. All lugs are in good working condition. There are very few scratches, but No cracks or major fatigue. 

Again, the throw-off is the Clam Shell Strainer that works and functions beautifully with original throw Handle.

The dual purple factory muffler functions flawlessly.
Original Slingerland 20 strand snare wires are installed.

This Drum has that great Radio King sound, wonderful dynamic response, with great warm sensitivity & tonality, cutting through all band instruments.
