I have never seen a drum put together like this...Did this tuning work?

I have the Oak Quinto which is a great Rumba drum no splits yet no bands EVER, I know GB's had different level of drums the more you paid the higher the quality. The oak staves are always thicker than the mahogany, my mahogany GB's crack the oak do not. Here acouple of photos of the top tunning quinto.

These are no doubt some interesting drums with a very interesting concept. Here is a picture of a pair of Bops, fiberlass, that were on e-bay some months back.
Singerland also used this same concept with good success, see attached.
