PHOTOS OF DRUM KITS > CENTER LUGS 921
Drum Kits With Center Lug Type 921
For a certain time Star produced drum kits with center lugs as well. Not only for snare drums – but for
toms and bass drums, too. Besides the type 921, there also existed another center lug (with unknown
article number) which was of quite simple construction and was used for ‘Midget’/ Cocktail Drums only
(for more details – photos with drums and that other lug type – click here: ‚MIDGET‘ / COCKTAIL DRUMS).
