just saw this flim im very close to this as well .great buy!!nice drums

Is that the ImperialStar series? I have a 78 Imperialstar and I love them

80s Swingstars, built like a tank. Short legs don't give sufficient support for such a heavy kit, though. I had an anchor on mine.

Thanks guys.

The postings keep coming on CL for this set and the price keeps going up. Started at $75 and now $200.

oh boy. can't win them all. I think there was prob a big response and buyer got wiser or meaner depending on which stance you take.

I hate it when sellers do that, but, that's life I guess!

1984-ish swingstar in standard sizes, that's the "zola-cote" sprayed on the inside to protect the luan or "mohogany" from moisture. the wrap on these drums is well glued and hard to remove. my drums are X-tras sizes (11x12 12x13) and are low pitched and dont have a lot of sustain (mounts and the ruff interiors) but they do take a beating, and yes the kick will slide away easy.
