1950-53 Slingerland 7x14 Radio King Solid Shell Swing Time Hollywood Ace Snare Drum Silver Sparkle

For your viewing pleasure is this outstanding 7x14 Slingerland Radio King solid maple shell "Swing Time Hollywood Ace" snare drum in Sparkling Silver Pearl (silver glass glitter) built in 1950-53.  With exception of the heads, it is 100% original including the wires and tension rods. The three point strainer works perfectly, as does the muffler.  The wrap is in good condition with some small freckles commonly seen on older sparkling pearl wraps of this age.  The seam is flat and tight.  The bearing edges are original and true. The brass hoops are in overall great shape with a couple slight cosmetic bends that do not affect the fit or tuning in any way.  There are no extra holes or modifications of any kind.  This drum tunes up fantastically, and with the greatest of ease.  Tuned low for a tremendous fat back beat, or tune high for a gorgeous woody ringing crack, and anywhere in between.  It's tough to beat the classic magnificence that these old growth single ply Slingerland masterpieces embody. This drum would be a perfect addition to any collection or working professional's / recording studio's snare drum arsenal.  Enjoy!
