Tama Superstar Colors? Help?

[chetatkinsdiet]

OK, There was the Super Mahogany. There was White. Then
Black...maybe a few others as well. Then there was one, or maybe two
that were very similar, right? What were these others...I see them on
ebay as Candy Apple Red, or Wine Red, even Cherry Wine. This color/s
is where my question is....I'm confused.
Anyone know the real story here. Are these redish drums all the same
color or did they really have two or three similar colors. I can't
seem to find any old early 80s Tama catalogs now....
later,

Aquamarine as well.

Candy Apple Red and Mahogany - 2 different colors.

Tama called it Cherry Wine. Seems to me the three big colors were
Cherry Wine, Super Mahogany, and Super Maple. You also had piano white
and piano black, and for a while there was Aqua.

There may be other colors, but I only remeber one red: Cherry Wine.

Thanks for the link on the Superstar group. I just found out the
answer.
Cherry wine is the redish drums that you can still see grain through.
The red finish that isn't translucent, but more metallic looking is
Candy Apple Red. Man, my kit is a total hodgepodge. I bought it
years ago and didn't really care about a matching kit. I just bought
the sizes that I was looking for. Now, I'd like to convert all the
kit to the same color by finding the drums I need, then selling the
other when I get the proper replacement. So, I think I just purchased
an 18" floor tom in CAR, when I really needed CW. But, I'm going to
have to get out to my studio to check out all the drums again. I know
I have a 13" & 14" tom in Super Mahagony and also an 18" floor tom
that I'd like to sell/trade for I think a Cherry Wine. But, who
knows, maybe I have some CAR toms mixed in there too. Let me check
first. If any of you out there has some of the CW Superstars that
they'd like to swap out for some of these SM or possibly the CAR 18,
lemme know.

Cherry Wine Red is a lacquer coating and Candy apple red is a wrap. The Candy Apple Red is the wrap that Neil Peart used.
