The Slingerland Studio King 5-piece shell pack brings one of the most respected names in drum history back into the spotlight with a kit that sounds as good as it looks. Designed around the warm, musical voice that made Slingerland famous, this modern Studio King delivers classic tone, refined response, and the durability today’s working drummers expect.
Built with 5-ply maple-poplar shells, the Studio King produces a balanced blend of clarity, warmth, and smooth sustain. Maple gives the drums definition and attack, while poplar fills out the midrange for a full, rich tone that records beautifully and projects effortlessly on stage. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or playing live, these shells deliver a controlled, musical response that sits perfectly in any mix.
This kit is outfitted with nickel-plated hardware, stick-saver hoops, and beavertail lugs—signature Slingerland elements that combine vintage style with modern reliability. The hoops help maintain tuning and protect your rims, while the beavertail lugs ensure even tension across the heads for consistent tone and feel. Everything is designed to hold up to frequent gigging, setup, and teardown without losing its classic look.
The Studio King’s shell sizes give you a wide tuning range and a familiar, easy-to-work-with layout:
10” x 7” rack tom
12” x 8” rack tom
16” x 16” floor tom
22” x 14” bass drum
14” x 6.5” snare drum
The toms offer smooth tonal steps from high to low, while the 22” bass drum delivers a deep, punchy low end that anchors the kit. The included snare adds articulation and projection, making it ideal for backbeats, ghost notes, and dynamic playing in any style.
From the folding bass drum spurs to the precision-built shells, this kit is designed for drummers who actually use their gear. The hardware stays stable, the shells stay in tune, and the tone remains consistent whether you’re in the studio, at rehearsal, or on stage. It’s a modern drum set with old-school soul—and the durability to match.
The Slingerland Studio King isn’t just a tribute to the past—it’s a serious, professional drum kit built to carry that legacy forward. With classic looks, rich musical tone, and dependable construction, it’s a perfect fit for players who want vintage character with modern performance.
