Can anyone tell what these are?

Posts: 29 Threads: 9

I found a pic of my great uncle and I was wondering if anyone had any clue to what kind of drums he was playing. This just popped into my mind because it would have been his 100th birthday today. any ideas?

I'm pretty sure the snare is the one I got from my grandpa. But the rest I dunno, does it look like the bass that would have come with the kit? I'm not sure if that tom is actually a conga either... here is the snare today

I believe it is. I'm not sure how many different kits him and my grandpa had though. I have AR's clarinet also. He played trombone too.

I would bet heavy money that is your snare drum in that pic!

Nope, it's a Chinese-style tom. They were common on early drum sets, before the modern western-style tom replaced them.
