Cause I have a 1950's Radio king it's 24"x14" 16"x16" and a 13x9" and I'm having some work done on it and I thought yours sounds great so I would like so idea's! THANK YOU!!!
Now THAT's a BASS drum!!!! That's the most gorgious kick I've heard since I heard Buddy's live, 6 months before he died. ... and tasty playing too mate!!
Hello from Canada. Thanks for posting this. I just bought a late 30's Radio King in the same sizes and love them. Are you using calf skins heads or plastic heads on yours? Just wondering. They sound great by the way - as does your excellent drumming thanks.
I dont understand why vintage drummer like Stanton Moore or Billy Martin use a 20x14 size as main bass drum . I thing bigger sizes like your drum are the best for funky vintage stuff . You have a great kit dude .
@godzuki444 I think they change it up all the time. Stanton used an 18.14 on his older stuff and now plays a 22x14 and 26x14. Billy Martin plays jazzy funk so in order not to wipe out the bass and keys off the stage he uses a smaller kick drum.
WOW thats a beautiful kit man. That bassdrum is huge what size is it? it looks like a 30" or something? Beautiful finish and it looks like its in perfect condition!
one of the greatest sounding drum kits i've heard. the warmth and punch is amazing. the drummer is killing it! i bet that he's a pro. i love your chops. the snare is one of my favorite!! i want that beast snare. c",) regards.
awesome kit. love the finish. I just came across a 3 piece radio king for 400 bucks, i'm gonna cop it asap, it just needs a little work. anyway, your kit sounds killer. That kick is a monster. Did you do any restoring, or did you get that kit in that condition?
saw it on eBay and shipped it to switzerland, quite a risk actually. i wasn't even 100% sure if it's a radio king, so i was very happy when i opened the boxes and saw the logo on the rims;-)
@thewaltztimebastards well props on that find man. I didn't know they had the logo on the actual rim. I'll look for that on the kit i'm lookin at tho.
It's so disconcerting and strange to see and hear those modern beats played on such an old classic kit. I love it. Excellent work. Outstanding tensioning of the bass and toms. You really can't top an old Slingerland kit. IMO, the best.
I love those radiokings. I just got a 40s kit myself.
Great drumming, thanks for posting this clip! 26" Kick drum all the way! Mine is a 24 sadly! Those drums sound effing awesome! Keep up the groove man, you got it.
Hey thanks. Well, I'm not sure about age of the front head. It has a Slingerland logo though. The batter heads are all Remo Fyberskins. I had to remove the original calf skins because i use this set for gigs, so the old heads wouldn't have been too reliable.
I think the tom have 2 hoops inside...but the bassdrum has 3 of 'em. The diameter of the BD is 26". Size does definitely matter;-)
Great job Krupa!! wonderful job!! Is that a 60's factory logo head on the front of your kick drum? also any calf on that kit, is that a 24 or 26 kickdrum. slingerland owned a company called solar that made their heads before remo started doing it.. also do the toms have 3 suport rings in them. I have a 1946 set i recoverd because the pearloid was to far gone. your a great player post more when you can.

What a lovely set! Cymbals are very complementary, and nice work showing the beauty of how to wake up an old set.
