I'm working on building a swingstar set. A friend of mine who works in waste management pulled a white swingstar bass drum out of the dump and I'm working on fixing it up. Got a rack tom made in taiwan and one of the japanese made floor toms. I'm super excited to get it set up and playing!
Currently on this kit it is a remo suede power stroke 3 on the batter with an Aquarian regulator front head(no muffling inside)That head choice was purely because that was what I had on hand at the time. Personally I would probably lean towards an Aquarian super kick on the batter and a clear or smooth white type remo power stroke for the front head if I wasn’t going to use any internal muffling. If am muffling internally I’m sticking with a power stroke on both sides of the kick. Hope that helps!
What a hidden gem of a drum series. I love my swingstars, they sound so much better than their price would suggest.
Absolutely, I'm embarrassed to admit it took me awhile to realize how good these are for the price. Plus they are built like a tank!

This is why i dont get rid of mine, still sounds better than half the $3000 kits of today
FR FR 👍👍
Great playing
I have a wine red set of swingstars from 1998. 🤘
Sick chops by the way. Love 1:23-1:30. 👌
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
I have the same kit . Love it
Looks great. Sounds great.
Proof that you don't need to take out a second mortgage to have a nice sounding kit!
Are those coated ambassadors or emperors on toms?
What is your bass drum head recommendation for this kit?
