So in the lot of MIJ shells was this guy. Now I refinished this with scraps of Fantasia Pearl wrap from the Kent shell. I cut it down to even strips and did it right, also added the Pearl lugs. I think it looks classy. Now my question. The interior looks to have the " zola " coating typically known with Tama Imperialstars & Swingstars. I know they did make some wooden snares. Could this have been one of those shells?

What shell is this?

Hmmm... so it could either be a Tama ( which I'm not sold on ) or likely a Ludwig. Reason I'm hesitant to think it's Tama is due to the lack of re-rings. I didn't think they made the wood Imperialstars for many years, and the early versions all had the re-rings. Either way it's a good shell. Can't wait to get it all together and hear it.

Is it possible Star was doing this before they switched to Tama? Early version of the Zola perhaps.

STAR as far as i know(pretty sure) had only a Grey paint inside their Shells! Hoshino did a coating like this;-)

The pinkish Zolacote is specific to one brand. I'll look in the attic to see if one of my shells has it. I just remembered where I saw that color Zolocote. I owned a mid-seventies MIT unbadged Pearl stencil with that color interior. Wrapped with white leatherette (factory).
