Slingerland Radio King 4-Piece Drum Shell Pack With 24" Bass Drum and 14" Snare - Black Diamond Pearl

Expanding the Radio King voice into a full-size four-piece configuration, the Slingerland Radio King 4-piece shell pack delivers deep low-end presence and vintage-inspired character for modern playing environments. Built in Oxnard, California, and available in a variety of finishes, this shell pack features three-ply mahogany/poplar/mahogany shells with 100% maple re-rings and 30-degree bearing edges for warm lows, smooth mids and controlled resonance that sits comfortably in a mix. The included 14x6.5" snare, 13x9" rack tom, 16x16" floor tom and 24x14" bass drum create a powerful layout with expanded low-end depth and strong projection. Lastly, nickel-plated hardware, Stick Saver hoops, an isolated tom mount and built-in tone control mufflers further shape the kit’s vintage-inspired response while providing modern reliability for everyday playing.

Three-Ply Shell Construction With Maple Re-Rings

At the core of the Radio King sound is its three-ply mahogany/poplar/mahogany shell construction, designed to produce warm lows, smooth mids and controlled highs. The addition of 100% maple re-rings reinforces each shell for improved structural integrity while enhancing tonal focus and projection. This combination delivers a balanced, resonant voice that remains open yet controlled across a wide tuning range. Whether tuned low for a fuller, vintage-style thump or higher for added articulation and rebound, the shells maintain clarity and depth, allowing the drums to sit naturally in both live and studio environments.

Included Radio King Snare With Zoomatic Throw-Off

The included 14x6.5" Radio King snare shares the same three-ply shell construction, delivering a full, responsive backbeat with warm tone and controlled sustain. A retooled Zoomatic throw-off allows smooth, precise adjustment of snare tension, while 20-strand snare wires provide crisp articulation and dynamic sensitivity. This combination creates a snare that responds evenly across a wide range of playing styles, from subtle ghost notes to more pronounced accents, while maintaining the classic Radio King character.

Full-Size Four-Piece Configuration for Expanded Low-End Presence

In addition to the included snare, the 24x14" bass drum delivers deep, powerful low-end presence with a rounded, punchy response that maintains clarity at higher volumes. The 13x9" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom provide balanced articulation and tonal spread, creating a connected feel across the kit. This full-size configuration offers expanded projection and headroom, making it well suited for players seeking a larger footprint with classic Radio King warmth and control.

Classic Hardware and Built-In Tone Control

Nickel-plated hardware, Stick Saver hoops and an isolated tom mount promote tuning stability while allowing the shells to resonate naturally. Built-in tone control mufflers provide quick, on-the-fly sustain adjustment without additional dampening, making it easy to adapt to different rooms and playing styles. Designed for drummers seeking expanded low-end presence with classic Radio King character, the Slingerland Radio King 4-piece shell pack delivers a balanced, expressive setup suited for both stage and studio use.
