Yes yes! Those came out looking real sharp! My understanding is that those shells are the thin ones with re-rings.......the best sounding MIJs IMHO. Nice sample of the DrumMate!
Sorry, these shells don't have re-rings (and mainly I haven't come across many Stars having the re-rings you mentioned - nevertheless I'm sure that those shells sound excellent). I think that most of the Star's have the simple 'pure' wood shell construction, and some being painted additionally grey inside.
May we see a close up of the badge.Very nice.
You can see it on my website (see below, in the footnote).
Thanks for your compliments!
