SlingerlandRadio King Solid Maple Snare Drum - 14 x 5.5 in. Blue & Silver Lacquer
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Blue & Silver Lacquer distinguishes this 14 x 5.5 in. Radio King, while its playing controls stay focused on practical adjustment. The steam-bent, single-plank North American maple shell and 30-degree bearing edge are voiced for warmth, articulation, and full projection. Nickel-over-steel Stick Chopper hoops bring crisp rimshots with controlled overtones. At the strainer, adjustable snare gates allow a wider-open or more pointed response, and the internal tone-control muffler adds damping control directly at the drum. Nickel-plated hardware rounds out the build.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio or stage work where snare sensitivity and damping need quick onboard adjustment.
- Drummers choosing a 14 x 5.5 in. Radio King with Blue & Silver Lacquer styling.
