11 years agoCutting a Vintage Superstar 24" X 16" to a 14"
My set is also 1983 Cherrywine. Let me know if you need a 15" tom shell w/hoop. Originally the set was 13,14,15,18,24 but I parted out the 15 to build...
11 years agoCutting a Vintage Superstar 24" X 16" to a 14"

Blue diamond pearl is usually MIJ, but I have never seen that particular shade. Big rerings and a modern tom mount (relatively,anyway). Those look coo...
11 years agoHELP! What model/brand is this drum set and is it vintage?
Those must be generic Taiwanese 80's drums.
