Hello Christian,

Quite sure that these are Star stencils.
Although: the bass drum legs are a clamp-on version - never seen at Star before,
and the tom brackets on the bass drum contain circle holes - Star normally used anti-slip cerrations.

Nice catch!

Cheers, Ralf

NB: the rack tom seems to be mounted upsight down.
And I've sent you an email.

I'm not questioning that they are Stars. The name "Apollo" is used by Pearl and Star as a stencil brand name. There are others, and "Dixie" was American and MIJ. Those really are nice drums. Details like the reeded edge of the BD hoops and the distinctive shape of the T-handles. Very nice.
