This Slingerland Vintage 1959 Gene Krupa Deluxe Radio King Ensemble is in very good condition. Purchased at an estate sale this kit comes with its black hardware case, Original Zildjian hi-hat cymbals and 18” ride. Came with hardware stands too. It had its original heads (except snare), Interiors look amazing. Stamped 1959. Mufflers look new. Original finish. Wrap and drum hardware almost look new. All original chrome over brass drum hardware. Some fading on on small section of the bass drum. Original calf-skin heads on the bass drum, and floor tom. We misplaced rack heads when cleaning the kit. Complete with the famous original matching Super Krupa SnareDrum.
This drum set is the result of a beautiful marriage between one of the most innovative drummers of all time and a well-established drum manufacturer. Gene Krupa is said to be one of the most prominent figures in modern drumming – he was the first to record with a bass drum, and among one of the first groups to play jazz in Carnegie Hall. In 1936 he singlehandedly convinced Slingerland to implement fully tunable tom-toms which are now universal. This set is the result of years of successful collaboration between Krupa and Slingerland. This kit comes with it’s matching snare drum – often times sold separately due to high demand;
This kit is so sturdy and perfect to play out or in the studio. One of the best drum sets ever made. Perfect for today’s pro drummer.
1950s stamped “Genuine Turkish, Made in USA” Zildjian cymbals; all of it’s original hardware; and the original Slingerland-stamped calf-skin heads on the bass drum and floor tom which contribute heavily to the Radio King signature sound.

The Coolest Timex Watch In Years
Color: Brown/Green/Tan
This is the nicest looking watch Timex has done in a long time. I have worn their Expedition watches before, usually my watch of choice for deployments, because they are basically indestructible. And if they do get scuffed or beat up, they do not cost a fortune to replace.
I like the features of this particular watch. The rotating bezel is a major plus. The crystal is slightly recessed behind the bezel to protect it from scratches. And the watch is waterproof. The visibility of the dial and hands is excellent both in daylight and using the awesome Indeglow feature.
The nylon fabric watchband is double layer of contrasting color and looks good. The band is stiff for a fabric band, but is surprisingly comfortable and smooth feeling on the arm. I found myself forgetting to take it off at night.
I like the analog/digital combo. The digital area defaults to time. It is small and does not light up with the Indeglow. A single button press brings up the date, which is a plus. There are too many features to the tiny digital area: timers, lap, time zones, alarm, etc. With only 3 buttons to seek and set everything, it can be fiddly.
Overall, this is one tough watch that is more than it has a right to be. Great value for the money at this low price point.

A classic, but you need your eyes checked.
Color: Brown/Green/Tan
Looks good for those looking for classic function over flashy. I wanted this watch for the simple analogue time but also for digital features like alarm / date / chrono. I just can't see as well as I used to. If this watch was available in the 42mm range, I'd upgrade in a second. Indiglo and water resistance is awesome as always.

Timex - NEVER stop making this watch
Color: Brown/Green/Tan
This is my 5th or 6th Expedition watch in this model. This is the best watch in the world! Why? I travel a lot and do pro bono work in various foreign countries. This watch is not fancy and you won't have anyone chopping your arm off to get a it vs what will happen to you if you have a Rolex or some fancy-smancy Swiss snob watch. You can have three time zones on this watch because there is the analog and two digital. When i travel I always keep my home time zone in T2, which is set via the international time clock to the second (easy to do). So, if I go to Joberg or Shanghai I can easily switch the analog to the local time and put T1 as the date and digital time.
I hope they never stop making this watch. I went to two stores in my town and could not come close to finding it. Timex has gone to these ginchy watches that are useless and cheap. My plan is to buy two more and store them.
This watch can take a real beating. I put mine on and almost never take it off. One I had lasted 10 years with two battery changes. My latest one had the dial pin pop out in my hand when I pulled on it..gently. In other cases the menu pins stopped working. In most cases under constant wear they are good for 4 years.
I have looked at G-Shocks.... that watch line defines silliness to me. They are too bulky at the wrist. This Timex is simple and awesome.

Would it kill them to put in a manual? Huh?
Color: Brown/Green/Tan
This review is tentative.
Good:
Attractive, and less cheap looking than expected
Indiglo. Enough said.
Analog is legible.
Decent water resistance.
Nostalgic for '80s ana-digi display?? This is no Chronosport, but the layout is nice.
Seems accurate so far, but quartz watches mostly are.
Bad:
Non intuitive setting with no manual. It's frustrating so far.
Not entirely sure what the features are at this point. Can I get 24H same time zone digital sync'd w/ analog?
FWIW:
I replaced the strap immediately with a Maratac. Brown nylon, PVD buckle. Look perfect together, I'm chuffed.
I want to like the watch, but it's making it hard.

Guess what? The watch works GREAT!
Color: Brown/Green/Tan
My previous problems with Timex were due to the thousand year battery, combined with a one or two year watchband. So, I buy a watch and wear it for a year or so till the band breaks, then throw it into a drawer and get another. At one time I had four good running watches with junk bands, in my catch all box, in the basement. One was over ten years old and still ticking merrily along!
I don't get it! Is Planned Obsolescence becoming the rule of law in worldwide manufacturing organizations? Can't Timex come up with a better class of watchbands, that could match the longevity of their excellent little timekeepers?
Maybe!
Yes, maybe they have finally done it.
My new watch has a band that is made of some kind of nylon, reinforced with, what looks like rutabaga skins, that pretty much insures that the band will last as long as the little ticking machine!
Out of the box, the band was remarkably stiff. I had to bend and twist it a lot to make it pliable enough to wear. Then I had a heck of a time trying to get it safely into the band keeper! So I got a scissor and cut a little fabric off the corners on the end of the band. I figured...if the cut off parts start to fray, I can just melt them with some fire and I will be ready for another adventurous expedition to the wilds of adolph's pub!
I also noticed that the watch was guaranteed waterproof down to 330 feet. I'll just take their word for that cuz there's no way in hades, I'll let anyone talk me into a trip that far south in a bunch of water! And even if the occasion did present itself, the LAST I would be worrying about, is what time it is! You know?
Anyways, now that I have the watch customized to me, I am truly happy! It works well, looks Great and smells like a watch. Yup! I can recommend this gadget to anyone. Stay out of the water though! You never know what may be lurking over there behind that tree! :)
