Well, I used to think La Boz was solely built by Pearl. However, this is irrefutably a Star, or at least the bulk of parts are. These are Star "Type A" lugs, or as we all know them, Soundkind lugs. This strainer, as we always thought, was always thought to be a Pearl. So now the questions will have to come about:
1) Is this drum original?
2) If it is, why is it mixed parts? This strainer was never seen in any Star-based catalogs.
3) The shell looks like a Star 3 ply to me. The hoops are almost certainly Star stick savers, not Pearl. So, is the strainer an add-on, or has this been totally rebuilt with all different parts? The wrap is one rare bird, so what do all you say?
