ummmm, no. It's more like a blue diamond pearl but in strands (?) It got lightly scraped in a few spots, I saw the blue and decided to take paint remover (the water based, eco-friendly I used on my Vistas) to an area under the kick and investigate it. For some reason I seem to get a hold of cool looking drums that people felt the need to paint black. I'm going to spend my time playing the drums for now before I restore 'em. They sound really good!! Got coated Emeperors on the toms, clear Ambassadors on the bottoms and a Powerstroke 3 on the kick.
Man, that finish should be awsome when you get it cleaned up, although the kit looks pretty cool with the black finish:). Love those offset lugs too. Wish my Silvertones had offset lugs:(
