Ralstons by STAR

Posts: 524 Threads: 75

Here is a picture of my Dad's Ralstons finally set up with a "PRO" snare that has a similar wrap. The wrap is called Red Agate Pearl.

My 12 year old son is now playing these. He has the toms reversed due to a missing bottom rim so the badges are not facing outward.

I love Agates or Onyx,whichever the drum company wants to call them. Nice set. It's great you got your son interested. Family heirloom.
