Drum Kits With Lug Type 6370
The third lug design on Star drum kits. It appeared around 1970, mainly on Royal Star kits. These lugs
nearly always were placed straight (very rare in offset configuration).
This type of lugs was continued in some series under the TAMA brand name furtheron for a certain time.
