Restored Blue Sparkle MIJ Last viewed: 1 hour ago
Nice little Pearl kit! those lugs are what we call "BattleShip" lugs and were only used on MIJ stencils for about 1 1/2 years. They were far more expensive than the normal fare Sling copies.
Well, after another glance, it looks as though the bass lugs/T-rods and rail are not matching front to back. The beater side appers to have Star T-rods, which would make the bass a non-matching drum, made by Star. The toms are indeed Pearl. The rail is the longer style used by Star for a two-up, one down-config.

I accidentally posted this twice but anyway the lugs on the bass drum do all match and ill take another photo of them from view on top if youd like. The T-Rods are all matching and are actually modern ones that i bought brand new. There is no rail and I think the photo has tricked your eyes, I can see why for sure haha I think i should post a better photo.
DOH! That's what I get for paying attention to the tom mount...
