Slingerland Studio King 5 Piece Shell Pack, Ventura Sand Lacquer

Slingerland Studio King 5 Piece Shell Pack, Ventura Sand Lacquer

Heritage Meets Innovation in the Studio King Series

The announcement of Slingerland's return created shockwaves throughout the music industry, and these Studio King shell packs mark one of the venerable drum company's most anticipated offerings. After all, it's not every day that you get to own a phenomenal instrument and a piece of music history simultaneously! Built with 5-ply maple/poplar shells, these drums blend classic craftsmanship with modern refinements. Timeless touches such as Stick Saver hoops, “beavertail” lugs, and nickel-plated hardware honor Slingerland’s storied past, while a fresh badge design, a re-engineered Zoomatic snare strainer, and 45-degree bearing edges on the matching snare propel the Studio Kings into the 21st century. The verdict? The refreshed Studio King series upholds the Slingerland legacy — now it’s your turn to take the throne.

Form, function, and sophistication
Outfitting your studio with a Slingerland Studio King kit sends a clear signal of prestige to both bandmates and clients. Nowhere is this more evident than in the hardware. Classic Slingerland elements, such as the iconic “beavertail” lugs and aptly named Stick Saver hoops, meet modern updates, including an all-new Slingerland badge design. The isolation tom mount ensures each mounted tom resonates with pure, unhindered musicality, while telescoping bass drum spurs provide both stability and portability. Nickel-plated hardware not only keeps everything secure, but it also looks stunning, offering a timeless aesthetic.

A massive backbeat to match
No shell pack is complete without its matching backbeat, and the Slingerland Studio King snare drum is the pièce de résistance of these reimagined kits. Built with the same 5-ply maple/poplar construction as the shell packs, the Studio King snare features 45-degree bearing edges — compared to the 30-degree edges on the shells — providing a sharper, more focused attack that helps these kits shine in modern music settings. Stick Saver hoops make the snares a pleasure to play, protecting both sticks and hands rimshot after rimshot. A revved-up, modernized version of the Slingerland Zoomatic snare strainer completes the package, delivering striking style and exceptional functionality.
