Reposting with new photos, hardware, and audio recording. These are an incredible example, and the best sounding vintage MIJ drums I have heard. Star (which later became Tama) built well! I have completely disassembled these drums, glued and clamp any ply delamination, smoothed and waxed the bearing edges, polished and lubricated the hardware, polished the wrap, and put on brand new heads and snares. They’re ready for you to enjoy! CONDITION NOTES 20″ Bass Drum: – Very good bearing edges – A few wrinkles and scratches in wrap – Scuffs on hoops – Slight dent in shell at spur mount, does not affect integrity – New clear batter head – Original resonant head – All original hardware in very good condition 14″ Floor Tom: – Very good bearing edges – Very good wrap, a few scratches – All original hardware in very good condition – New floor tom leg feet – New single-ply coated batter and clear resonant head 12″ Rack Tom: – Very good bearing edges – Very good wrap, a few scratches – All new tension rods – New single-ply coated batter and clear resonant head 14 x 5″ Snare Drum: – Very good bearing edges – Good wrap, peeling at snare strainer which has been glued down – Dent in shell at strainer which has been fixed with clamps and glue – New single-ply coated batter and clear resonant head – New 20-strand snares – Original hardware (Radio King Clamshell strainer copy) in good condition Hardware – Original cymbal arm is strong but I wouldn’t put a heavy ride on it.
