Slingerland Studio King 4 Piece Shell Pack, Lunar Blue 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 propels 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. The revived Studio King series revolves around its 5-ply maple/poplar shell formula with 30-degree bearing edges.

For drummers, maple needs no introduction. Its warmth, tonal balance, projection, and sustain have made it a prized tonewood for both studio and stage. The addition of poplar makes the new Studio Kings sound even smoother, with a rounded, mellow quality that vintage drum enthusiasts will fall in love with immediately. 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.
