Slingerland Studio King 3-Piece Shell Pack with 20" Bass Drum Lunar Blue Lacquer

Hit that first note and you're in the zone—reviving the legendary sound of American drum history in a modern, gig-ready Slingerland Studio King 3-piece shell pack with 20" bass drum. Crafted under the Slingerland name trusted by generations of drummers, its 5-ply maple-poplar shells deliver focused warmth and balanced resonance that shine in both the studio and on stage. Nickel-plated hardware, Stick Saver Hoops and classic beavertail lugs give this kit a timeless character drummers love. The bass drum's folding spurs and the compact 3-piece design make it a breeze to transport and set up. And when it's time to play, the Studio King delivers a punchy, articulate tone that shines in the studio and on stage—crafted with a build and finish that put it in a league all its own.

Slingerland Maple-Poplar Shells With Classic Tone

Hit the head and the note snaps into focus. Maple and poplar combine in a five-layer shell design that delivers fast response and full-bodied sound. The maple adds brightness and projection while poplar softens the edges for a more rounded note. This mix works well under studio mics, capturing every detail of your playing without unwanted overtones. The shells deliver a focused attack that stands out in dense mixes, making complex patterns and ghost notes clear and defined.

Slingerland Nickel-Plated Hardware With Vintage Style

Good hardware disappears under your hands. Nickel-plated hardware resists corrosion and keeps the kit looking sharp over time. Stick saver hoops protect sticks from splitting and help maintain rimshot consistency. Classic beavertail lugs add grip for tuning adjustments and contribute to the vintage style. Every detail supports reliable performance so you spend less time on maintenance and more time playing.

Folding Spurs for Easy Studio King Setup

Setup should be quick, stable and built to last—just like every Slingerland design. The Studio King's folding bass drum spurs lock firmly into place and hold steady on a variety of surfaces, giving drummers confidence whether they're in the studio or on stage. The compact shell pack slips easily into tight recording rooms or smaller venues, making transport simpler for players with a busy gig schedule. With its streamlined three-piece format, the Studio King keeps setup and teardown efficient without sacrificing performance, staying true to the brand's legacy of practical, road-ready craftsmanship.

Slingerland Construction Built to Endure

Gear should work as hard as you do. Each drum uses carefully selected woods and precision assembly for lasting performance. Nickel plating resists wear and the shell construction maintains tone through years of use. The kit's build stands up to regular travel and heavy playing so it continues to sound consistent after repeated setups and breakdowns. Slingerland's attention to durability means you invest in a kit that holds its value and character over time.

Slingerland Legacy That Drives Creativity

Slingerland's studio heritage goes back to Gene Krupa, and you hear that lineage in how this kit speaks. Drummers seeking a kit with rich history and reliable tone will appreciate the Studio King. The focused attack, articulate sound and classic design give players confidence in the studio and on stage. Each feature supports a direct, responsive feel that helps you play your best in demanding sessions or live gigs. This kit offers a clear, practical benefit: it delivers authentic sound and lasting reliability so you can focus on your music.
