SLINGERLAND RADIO KING 14X7 SOLID MAPLE SNARE DRUM GOLD GLASS

Slingerland Radio King 14x7 Solid Maple Snare Drum – Gold Glass

SKU: SLFP0714SMK088

The Slingerland Radio King 14x7 Solid Maple Snare Drum in Maroon Glass is a bold return of one of the most legendary snare drums in history. Designed to capture the unmistakable essence of the classic Slingerland sound, the modern Radio King blends vintage authenticity with modern durability and precision manufacturing. The result is a snare drum with rich warmth, powerful projection, and iconic style that stands apart on any stage or in any studio.

True to its roots, this Radio King features a steam-bent solid North American Maple shell, crafted from a single hand-selected maple plank. The 30-degree bearing edge gives the 7 x 14" shell a thick, buttery feel with full-bodied tone and punchy projection, making it equally responsive at low, medium, or high tunings.

Nickel-over-steel Stick Chopper hoops deliver tight, crisp rimshots with controlled overtones, while the signature 3-Point Throw-Off with Adjustable Snare Gates allows precise control of snare response—from wide open and resonant to sharp and articulate. Finished with nickel-plated hardware, a vintage-inspired Maroon Glass lacquer, and the iconic Slingerland cloud badge, this drum is more than an instrument—it’s a statement.
