First, I'd like to say thanks for sharing your knowledge. I acquired three matching Star drums, an 18 inch Bass drum, 12 inch rack tom and 14 inch snare in blue pearl, each needing some help. As this is all new to me, I need some help to be able to help them, if you are able.

The Bass drum has only one hoop and head, (the pedal side) but also only has a single row of centered lugs, and the current tension rods run straight through the lug and have a nut at the far end... so how would I attach the second hoop and head?

Also, the snare needs a strainer, but I don't know what number of strands would be appropriate for this, does anyone know what it came with or what can be used as a vintage replacement? I'd like to keep it all from the 60's if possible, but since some original parts are missing (those listed plus tension rods for the rack tom) I know realistically I will be lucky to find suitable period replacements, much less the same brand.

Thanks for any direction you might be able to give to get me started restoring these.
