When I heard rumors that Jeff was going to build complete Paiste 2002 drum sets I vowed that one day I would own one.

Inside we find a nice selection of early single drums, hardware and a huge plethora of individual sound mimicking instruments. The sound machines were extremely popular on the radio and live theatre stage shows, and if you had a great selection you probably got hired!

Many people have asked me if, or when, Slingerland was going to make a new, more affordable true Radio King snare drum? Well, the answer is now.

Frankly, I didn’t know Sears was selling these complete sets this early on, and with endorsers!

 This is my very rare 1970s 6.5” x 14” Color Code No. 2201-Clear Ludwig No. 415KP Vistalite Super Sensitive Blue & Olive Pointy Badge Snare Drum.

This Zickos Drum Corporation factory authorized portfolio is either a dealer catalog, corporate item, a dealer only item or distributor book. And it is full of separate loose distribution flyers and smaller catalogs.

955 WFL Black & White and Colorized versions of the 1955 catalog with a few big differences.

The color is so vibrant and bright it was shocking once I cleaned all the dirt off.

 It has some beautiful graphics inside, including color pictures of the Black Beauty “Ludwig Deluxe Model” and the “New Ludwigold Irridescent Display Finish”
