Anyone who values American drum history and true craftsmanship will find this pack ready for work—whether tracking in the studio or moving between gigs.

Slingerland Maple-Poplar Shells With Punch and Warmth

The first strike lets you know these shells are alive. Five-ply maple-poplar shells form the core of this shell pack, delivering a controlled, medium resonance. The maple adds warmth and clarity, while poplar brings a focused punch that sits well under microphones. Each drum responds quickly to stick attack, making the kit a strong fit for recording and live use. The shell design helps the drums produce a signature sound that stands out in mixes and on stage.

Vintage Slingerland Hardware With Modern Reliability

Good hardware should feel invisible until you need it. Nickel-plated hardware brings a vintage look and long-lasting durability. The stick saver hoops keep rimshots comfortable and consistent, while beavertail lugs maintain tension and tuning. Each detail is modeled after original Slingerland drums, creating a familiar feel for players who know classic American kits. These features give every drum in the set a reliable, tactile response that supports confident playing.

Folding Bass Drum Spurs for Quick Studio King Setup

Setup should be fast enough to keep your creative flow. Folding bass drum spurs streamline the process and add stability, making it easy to position the kit on any stage or studio floor. The 10-lug design across the drums supports even tuning and fast adjustments. Quick changes between takes or sets become simple, helping players focus on performance instead of gear hassle. The overall layout supports seamless transitions and comfortable reach.

Slingerland Construction Built to Last

This is the kind of build you can count on for the long haul. Each drum is crafted with care by trusted manufacturing partners, using a 5-ply formula for lasting strength and durability. Nickel-plated hardware resists wear and corrosion, while the overall assembly upholds the standards Slingerland has been known for over decades. This shell pack is built to handle travel, regular use and studio demands, all while preserving its signature sound and feel through the years.

Carrying the Slingerland Legacy Forward

Slingerland kits have backed dance halls, jazz clubs and recording studios through generations, earning a place in the fabric of American music. The Studio King continues that story with a sound that's articulate, warm and adaptable to today's players. For drummers who care about heritage as much as tone, this kit offers a direct connection to a brand that helped shape modern drumming—built to inspire wherever it's played.
