Please help with identification

Can anyone help me to identify these drums and the name of the finish? It's like a brown/grey tiger stripe with sparkles all over it! Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Am I not seeing something?This drum is a regular 16x16 MIJ floor tom but with a nice non-regular pearl pattern.The legs have a single bend,which is also uncommon.Someone else posted a similar pattern very recently,too.Sparkle with "tiger stripes".

From BUCKIE_B

Can anyone help me to identify this drum? I just received this pic about an hour ago in my email. The owner doesn't know what brand they are and couldn't give me any good info over the phone. She plays the set with a regionally popular surf-rock-a-billy act, and wants to sell them. All she could really tell me was that they belonged to her Dad long ago, he passed them to her this year, and they all match. Along with this floor tom she has two more mounted toms, a bass drum, and a snare drum. I am mostly interested in seeing pics of the snare drum, but at the moment I only have this one pic to post. The other pics should be arriving in my inbox some time today. She says at least one more drum is cone shaped like this one, which leads me to wonder if I should go ahead and snatch up the whole set while it's still available to me. It's certainly got an interesting finish on it, and judging from this one photo the drums must be unusual as well as in pretty good condition if they all look as good as this one. My guess is that they must be from Sonor or Trixon, but the tone control looks just like the ones I've seen in Gretsch drums. I'll post some more pics as they arrive. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

The floor tom in the photo is a mid 1960s drum.M.I.J. by Pearl.It may have the Pearl badge on it or could be about 40-50 other names that were put on these drums..The shell looks to be a 3 or 5 ply shell with rings the muffler is a copy of a Gretsch that Pearl made..The only cool thing about the floor tom is it's finish...Mikey
