I tried to find more info, but that seemed to be the best source so far. If I am correct, the rockstars might be the same as the Ludwig Accent Series, only it has an innner layer of basswood. I'm starting to think that they are 'selected veneers' with a inner layer of basswood for dulling the overtones. I don't know exactly what it means either.

These off-shore kits continue through the 90s and into the s. Tama obviously made these changes so the off-shore drums could not be claimed as being Japan made product. The hardware and shell construction however are the same, with the exception of the lugs which are like Astro lugs and the position of the floor tom leg clamp positioned about mid shelland of course no Tama badge. The early made in Japan Swingstars can be identified fairly well using the following method 1 the earliest kits after the elimination of the Star drums name were oval badge oval black badge with gold writingearly 70s 2 In the mid 70s the 'T' badge started to be used around the Joint purchase of Camco by DW and Tama on all the Japanese made kits.
