Found this vintage ad while trying to accumulate information on the 1960's MIJ drums. It appears that the kit has two different set of lugs. One being the Hoshino type, the other being the Slingerland clones. Am I just seeing things, or is this correct?? Could this also point to Hoshino having made the Slingerland clones?

Two lug types??

Hi Jay!
I've seen this before, where there are different lug styles. Many times, it's just a production change and a drum with an older lug style is combined with drums with the newer lug style. You also see a completely different lug on the snare drum!

Jay you have one sharp eye for details pal
So far in my bunch, the only "molded hoops" are on non star hoshino kits
Most recently my pal Rich gave me a distressed orange sparkle rectangular badged Zim Gar kit minus a snare
the kit has double mounted toms on a rail
the bass, floor tom, and one mounted tom are all Star the other mounted tom is non star Hoshino
I figured right away that the mis-match was a modification by a past owner
But the same two lug styles are involved as with this ad picture
My gut tells me coincidence in my case
