Hi everybody,

maybe someone can help me with that model.
Maybe a Premier one?

Just a guess, I think I've seen that here: The Unofficial 60's Japanese Drums Virtual Museum
(http://www.georgesdrumshop.com/t-faq7.aspx) Scroll down to the Starfinder chrome kit. Snare looks to have the same Ludwig knockoff lugs and the toms have the double bead.

Wow...the lugs, hoops and strainer look just like those on a 1930s Ludwig and Ludwig. Never saw a double beeded Ludwig and Ludwig shell, though. My gut tells me it's a European drum as they used to copy American drums. I'm pretty sure the tone control was added many years later.

Sonor had a copy of that Ludwig lug as well. Let's get some better pictures of the strainer and the butt side and the lugs if you can get them.
