Slingerland Studio King 4-Piece Shell Pack with 22" Bass Drum Del Norte Black Lacquer

What if the kit in your room carried the spirit of the ones that shaped history? The Slingerland Studio King 4-piece shell pack with 22" bass drum brings that feeling forward—mixing studio-era tone, classic design and player-focused engineering into a single, clean build. Inspired by the precision that powered Krupa's swing and Slingerland's Radio King era, this setup features 5-ply maple-poplar shells, nickel-plated hardware and stick saver hoops for tone that's clear under mics and resilient under pressure. The tom sizes—10" x 7", 12" x 8" and 16" x 16"—offer balance and punch, while the 22" x 14" kick gives you that trusted low-end response. This is a setup built for working drummers, revived with care and backed by the same vision that brought Slingerland roaring back into the scene.

Studio King Shells for Crisp, Balanced Tone

The foundation of this kit is its 5-ply maple-poplar shell construction, chosen for its clarity, warmth and quick response. Maple adds presence and definition, while poplar smooths the edges for a rounder sustain. Together they create a voice that sits cleanly in a mix without disappearing, whether you're tracking in a studio or driving dynamics live on stage. This shell design carries forward the tonal fingerprint that made Slingerland famous, refined for the demands of modern playing.

Slingerland Hardware and Hoops Built for the Long Haul

Every piece of hardware is designed for reliability, feel and appearance. Nickel-plated components resist wear and maintain their shine under stage lights, while stick saver hoops protect your rims and keep tuning steady through long sessions. Beavertail lugs apply even tension and add the unmistakable Slingerland silhouette. It's a hardware package that blends function with tradition, so you get a kit that looks and performs like the real thing—because it is.

Vintage Sizes That Deliver Modern Versatility

This configuration bridges classic feel and current needs. The 10" x 7", 12" x 8" and 16" x 16" toms offer a balanced, melodic range with quick, controlled response. The 22" x 14" bass drum anchors the kit with deep, reliable low end that's easy to tune and mic for any style. Compact enough for smaller stages but commanding in bigger rooms, this setup adapts to whatever the gig or session demands.

Reliable Slingerland Build With Classic Character

Built with Slingerland's trusted partners, these shells are precision-cut to hold shape and tone year after year. The hoops, spurs and nickel-plated hardware are road-tested for strength and stability, ensuring the kit can handle transport and regular use without compromise. The badge design and small build details nod to the iconic Radio King era, while the Studio King maintains its own identity as a modern working drummer's kit.
