By the badge, lugs, and finish id say this is an early 2000's cabria or vitria kit. Neither were made from one type of wood, both had composite shells.

I'm pretty sure Premier stopped using one-piece lugs earlier than the 2000's. The APK's and XPK's as were, had the fittings like the one pictured in the mid 90's as I used to have a set. I'm not 100 per cent, but just putting it out there!

thanks for your help. could you tell me an approx value of these in fair condition 4 piece without snare. sizes are 22" kick, 10" and 12" rack and 14" floor. just ballpark and i have 200.00 in them. not looking to make a fortune just give a fair deal to for both. these were bought from a pawn shop and had 5 cymbals with kit and they were 14" new beats, 2 16" crash and A and an A custom a 14" thin crash and cheap ride so the cymbals have already covered cost but don't want to give away the kit either. also the bass mounted tom holder was missing any idea if another brand of double tom holder would fit.

thanks for all the help

I would say between $250-400. APK is covered, XPK is lacquered. Not bad drums AT ALL. I think you would be darned near even in a trade.

looking at about £300 maximum,,all the best
