PHOTOS OF DRUM KITS > REWRAPPED DRUM KITS
Rewrapped Drum Kits
Although my first idea was to present drum kits with original wrap only, finally I’ve decided to give those
of you, who have also put lots of love and elbow grease into rewrapping your Star drum kit, a chance, too.
So here’s the category, where there’s a place for such drum kits/ single rewrapped snare drums.
Note: The drum kits here are not categorised into the main three different lug shapes. Latest entries of
photos: On the top of this page.
Apollo from around 1970, in Purple Sparkle, 22”/ 12”/ 16” (Gary, St. Louis, USA)
Apollo Star badges
Remarks: Snare drum is the converted 13” rack tom of the kit, but with a strange Apollo badge (not from the Star family)
Bollero from 1973, in a natural wood finish, 22”/ 12”/ 13”/ 16” + 14″ x 5″ metal snare drum (Tom, Vienna, Austria)

Remarks: The original wrap was too destroyed, so this kit received a noble natural lacquer finish
Star ’Parade’ Marching Drum from the early 70’s, unwrapped, 14” x 10” (Theo, Deurne, The Netherlands)
