Some of you may remember my post about the Star kit in pieces purchased for $30 and in a bit of a state. Well here she is now.
I have rewrapped in gold sparkle vinyl that cost $37 (probably enough left to do another kit too) and everything else cleaned and polished. The only parts needed were the tom mount arm off the rail, spurs and some heads. The chrome is very poor in places but it's good from a few feet. The snare came seperately. I think it's probably an old 70s Pearl that someone had spraypainted black. The premier hihat stand and cymbal stand came with the kit and are actually really good. I've been using the cymbal stand in my live set up.
Because the vinyl is a bit thicker than normal drum wrap the heads are a tight fit but they go on ok with a bit of coaxing and the kit sounds pretty decent. I only need an appropriate grommit to fit the FT badge and i may do some BD hoop inlays. I have the 13" tom that I have also finished but I only have the 1 mounting arm. Besides, I only use one mounted tom.
