Looks like an early 80s (1984) rock/concert snare drum. I used to have one. They're great drums.

I guessed it was older as the logo is older and I can not find any info with the serial number :(

Andlours is right, 1984 right before they moved to Monroe.

I have seen them go from $200-250 depending on condition.

The serial number is on the bottom of the logo badge. With the black on the throw P-85, I would have to say 70's. I'm not sure the two go together.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!
