This drum kit is a real beauty, great sound, fantastic look ! Made in Japan, probably by Pearl or Tama.
I've been getting real lucky with these drums lately, wish I could keep them all.

What are the particulars on this kit? Shell makeup and sizes and such. I REALLY like this one.
Cool wrap!!

Hi mcjnic,
The shells are basically thin ply Luan, (aka Phillipine Mahogany), with wood reinforcement rings. The sizes are 22" bass drum, 16" floor, 13" tom, 14" snare. The lugs are the standard Japanese copy of Slingerland.
Man, that's a nice kit. Really has a look to it. I like it. Nice find.
That is a real cool kit! I'm fairly new to the forum and have been following both USA and Other. I am a Pearl freak and also From Swift Current Saskatchewan Canada so finds like that are very, very, rare. Wish I could land a kit like that around here for under 2k. So cool!
I'm opened to any offers, just send me a private message.
Hello,
Strange wrap! Cool.
What pricks my ears are the lugs (Slingy copy) and the shape
of the wrap: that appears to be in stripes, doesn't it?
Some threads earlier, I'm still looking for the producer's name
of a rack tom, that has similarities: a wrap in stripes, although
the surface shows it's 'one piece'... The wrap is definitely
not done by putting stripes together ... (would be an exhausting
work, wouldn't it? hehehe)
I would put your drumset more to the big TAMA/ Star family,
although there never existed this cool wrap (only something similarly
with curls called 'fantasia').
Or look at this one from Sonor here:

Pearl and it's family of brands never used these lugs - to my best
knowledge.

[COLOR="Blue"]Both Slingerland and Rogers were famous for these types of wraps, they were known as "ONYX" wraps, real cool!![/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]Actually, I had a few early Pearl Drumkits that used the same types of lugs as these, mind you, this bass drum tom mount looks like a STAR type. Also, Pearl usually used floor tom leg mounts and bass drum cymbal mounts with the "Pearl" logo on them.
I think you're right, this is more of a "STAR" production drum kit.[/COLOR]
