I found where I saw that snare strainer. It's on a kit in this thread - http://vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=57019&highlight=white+marine+pearlWhat's intersting to me is from the look of the internal tone control they look like non Star Hoshino's. Reason I say that is on my Crown snare ( as well as a few other confirmed non star Hoshino's ) the mounting screw is always at the bottom and not at the top as is standard. Something unique to them.

I just won one of these on eBay ….Anyone have ANY thoughts on this or it’s ‘fake/quasi’ parallel snare system? I’m not familiar with “Star” or if it is a Slingerland clone does that mean it’s of the same quality/material or just a “fake”?
