Slingerland Mid 50's 20 x 20 White Pearl Floor Tom Here is a very clean Radio King floor tom in the massive Gene Krupa 20 x 20 size! First Oval Black and Gold badge. Four "Can't Slip Clutch" leg holders but non original legs. Internal muffler is a lter model not the original 50's style. Original chrome over brass "rim-shot" hoops.  This drum has a nice even yellowed look and looks similar to other aged white marine pearl kits so should match nicely for many looking to add this t their set and create the ultimate Gene Krupa 50's configuration.  20 x 18" toms are rare and I believe the 20 x 20 is rarer! Heads are in excellent shape on this drum.
