Play with decent hardware and a good snare drum.I dont anyone could tell the difference live or on a recording.In fact the bass drum and toms actually sound fuller to me.I think its the blended woods they used back then;eg;poplar/mahogany...luan/spruce,and a lot of mystery wood im sure.

Hi,Nice wrap! I love blue/ blueish (correct word?) much more than all theother colours.Can you, please, make a close-up pic of the badge? I would like to see it.Beltone - never before heard of ...From the distance the lugs don't look much like Pearl's/ or similar.Can you also make a pic of the lugs?I guess the bass drum hoops are made of plastic?Ralf
Here are the Badge & Pearl Mounts pics

Thank you, Drumsteroo.
It's curious, that Pearl seemed to use Slingy-like lugs
at some time then ... (if only under the brand Beltone).
Greetings - Ralf
NB, concerning the different comments on Japanese
hardware parts on vintage sets. The very early Pearls
and Stars (now: Tama) have been produced with
OUTSTANDING chrome lugs, rims etc. - MY experience.
Mainly their stencil brands used partly (mainly?) shabby
chrome parts which are wellknown for chrome-pitting.
