But a picture speaks volumes....

Thank you for your time. I tried to post a picture, but wasn't able too. I think that they are Slingerland. Is there a site that you know of, that I can view Slingerland drums and see a close up of the insignia? The drums do not have a badge. Thanks again.

Sounds like a calf head mark.

It would be HUGE help if we could see pictures, so let's see if we can help you get those posted. There are a number of utilities you can use to resize pictures. Your computer probably already has at least one utility installed that can do it. But for a simple way that'll work from just about any computer, try browsing to www.fixpicture.org . Click the browse button and select your picture. Click Options and select a size -- 600 should work. Then click convert. The web site will resize your picture and give you a download link for the newly-resized image. (Don't worry - it won't alter your originals, and it even renames the resized version so you don't accidentally overwrite them.) These resized pics should be small enough to attach to a forum post.

As for Slingerland, the company's "insignia" generally was the Slingerland name in stylized type. There really wasn't a logo to speak of, although they did use just the script "S" for Slingerland on some parts in the company's later years. Here are a couple of web pages (related to this very site) that'll show you more Slingerland info than you'd possibly need:

If your drums are Slingerlands, it should be pretty easy to match some items on your drums (like the snare drum strainer -- the mechanical bit that engages the wires on the drum) to examples shown on these pages.

One other thing that can give you a major clue is the interior of the drum shells. Look inside -- through a drum head, through a vent hole, or by removing a head. Do you see bare wood, or can you at least make out the wood grain? What direction does it run? Does it go around the shell or does it go vertically from one head toward the other? Do you see any painted/inked markings or stickers? Are there wooden reinforcing rings at each end of the cylinder?

Thank you for your help. You are very nice to give such detailed advice. I really appreciate your help. Thanks again.

Your drums weren't made by Slingerland. They're what's often called a "stencil" kit, or "MIJ" -- short for "made in Japan".

In the 1960s & '70s, a small number of Japanese companies produced inexpensive drums under a whole bunch of different brand names, often the name of a company importing them into the U.S. for sale. Your drums are one of these sets. They were likely made by either Pearl or Hoshino Gakki (aka Star), who is best known today for their Tama brand. Some of the guys around here can probably tell you which company based on small details like the shape of the lugs or the tuning rod handles on the bass drums.

The chrome hoops on the bass drums indicate a later one of these kits, probably not older than the 1970s.

MIJ from the looks of it.

Thank you for all of your help. You Rock! I was on line for hours trying to find any info. Thanks again.

Yes SkyDog75 points are right on the money..Your set is from late 1960.By the lugs and T-rods and claws on bass drum your set was made by Pearl and inported to the U.S with-out pearls name on it..If you remove one of the lugs off the bass drum it will say pearl in the casting...Mikey
