This Gene Krupa Super Radio King 7x14" snare drum is a piece of history. This drum features a solid shell with a reinforcement ring, the aluminum cloud badge that was only used during WWII, beavertail lugs, single flanged drum hoops and an original Slingerland calfskin head on the batter side. The snare strainer is a 3-point throw off which appears to have been replaced in the 1950's. Looks like holes were drilled & filled. Other than that, the drum is original. This drum has a great vintage deep & fat tone, a nice addition to any collection.
