Don't wanna wrinkle any feathers, but this is a "Drum Mate" line. The "so called lugs" are not really lugs. Some of these kits have pass-through rods, others screw directly into the lug. Not the best idea Star ever had.

Indeed, it could be both a Star or a DrumMate kit (although I've never heard of a DrumMate junior version).

Here is a link to the Swing Star 'Midget Drum' with exactly this configuration:

Anyway, thanks for that great pic!

The 9" heads came in. Now just need to make a cymbal arm for the bass mount and fabricate something for the mini cymbal stand base. What might be a couple good mini cymbals for this? I was thinking of getting a 10x10 tom and converting it to a mini floor tom maybe...lol. This would be a cool kit to bring to the woods for a little jam outside..
OK, so I have never seen this finish. When I said I had a blue one, I meant I had a blue marine pearl or whatever you want to call that. I've never seen this blue onyx type. That's really something special. I'd imagine it's mega rare.
