Perhaps the Best Snare Ever Made …
This limited edition Slingerland Radio King 5x14, is #47 of only 50 made. DW bought the Slingerland brand from Gibson in 2019 and introduced a modern version of this classic snare drum at the 2025 NAMM show. It is a faithful recreation of the iconic 1930s and 1940s classic. True to its vintage design, this snare features a steam-bent, solid North American maple shell with an original 30-degree rounded bearing edge for rich and deep warmth. Complete with nickel-plated hardware featuring a 3-Point Strainer for precise snare wire control, Nickel-over-Brass Stick Chopper hoops, and engraved Radio King logos, this snare delivers both vintage aesthetics and powerful performance.
