From alot2008

My stagelite resto, matched original wrap on 14'' floor tom, pearl donor for 16'' floor tom for playing preference, the rest all Star shells and fittings.

This pic is destined for Ralf's Star website - if it is not there already. Quite a beauty there! Seems that of all the Vintage MIJs that have recently (last decade) enjoyed a resurging cult following - it is STAR (badged, not just Star made).

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

Thanks Jay

Every so often, one might find a nice American made partial kit

with one MIJ drum standing in for the missing American drum

not often to find things the other way around

same deal with this bdp Stewart project

the bass drum is a Slingerland shell

rebuilt with the Star made, Sonor clone, hardware to match the Stewart toms

The Slingerland bass drum shell was a 5.00 Al Drew's drum graveyard deal

Just the stripped down shell and badge with plenty of extra drillings

but yes a heck of a deal just the same

Star did a nice job of matching Slingerland's choice of BDP both in shade and chip size

Some of the MIJ wraps were great looking. On the whole they did some nice work, but yea some are just spot on matches for the U.S. makers. Smart move on their part though.

Kenwood - Nice blue satin flame set. Your collection continues to grow. Have you still got space in your warehouse? When are you going to need more space?
