Hey all, i need to know a timeline on swingstars, my bass player picked up a used set, 5 piece and the snare is wooden, not metal, now, the bass drum hoops are plastic, not metal or wood. I'm pretty sure the swingstar customs came w/a wooden snare, but when were plastic hoops used. he bought this shell pack for $199.00. and wants me to use it when jamming at his house which is cool, and alot easier than carting my kit back n forth. anyway i'd appreciate any feedback. Thanx.

Are the bass hoops black with the ears for the tension rods built right in to them?

These are the newer version of the Swingstar line.. Production on these started within the last ten years, if not five.. Head over tot the Tama/Hoshino website and look up the history...
