Up for sale is a vintage Slingerland Super Sound King snare drum in the desirable 14x5 configuration. Made in the USA during the Niles era, this drum features the classic black & brass Niles badge with serial number 42441.
This is the sought-after model with the dual snare adjustment system / parallel style throw-off setup and internal tension rod assembly that sets these apart from standard Slingerland metal snares.
A very cool and increasingly hard-to-find vintage studio and player drum with tons of character.
Features:
* 14x5 size
* Vintage Slingerland Niles badge
* Serial #42441
* Dual throw-off / Super Sound King mechanism
* Internal snare tension adjustment system
* Chrome metal shell
* Original-style lugs and hardware

Condition:
Very good vintage condition with normal cosmetic wear consistent with age. Light scratches, patina, and signs of use as shown in photos. Hardware presents well. Heads and wires installed. Please review all photos carefully for exact condition.
Sound:
Crisp, articulate, sensitive response with that classic vintage metal snare crack. Great for studio work, classic rock, funk, soul, and anything needing character beyond a modern drum.
A killer piece of vintage American drum history.
