@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.

amazing kit !! And quite amazing playing man, great stuff, keep it up!

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 .
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!

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?

I recieved the kit in perfect 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;-)
