The Slingerland early 60's Sound King snare drum features a 14x5 welded steel shell with a chrome-over-steel finish, offering a classic and powerful sound. This particular model is a rarer cataloged variant, distinguished by its 10 lugs, which contribute to a more focused tone and enhanced tuning stability. Additionally, it comes equipped with an internal tone control and Stick Saver hoops, designed to reduce stick wear while maintaining a sharp, clear rimshot.
