Those look to be Paramount made by Kent . Hard to be 100% sure by the pics but that is what I see .

Tacked calf skin heads. Those might be early Kent.

The guy selling them contacted me back and said there is a Revere badge on the snare. He is asking $400 for all of it. He said there is a snare, hi-hat cymbals and stands as well as what is pictured.

Those were likely made in the '50s. Found this info -

" E.W. Kent Mfg. Company also produced drums for other companies during the 1950’s. These drums were very similar to E.W. Kent products, utilizing the same maple shells, metal hoops, tin foil badges and snare strainers. Paramount, Revere and Musketeer were some of these companies. The Paramount snare drums incorporated unique snare mechanisms as seen in the photo below. It would appear that standard E.W. Kent lugs were altered for these two companies. They have the same hole spacing and basic shape but the ends were rounded off. "

For $400 I'd snag them. Good set of thin maple shells, they look to be in good condition, Who knows what brand the cymbals are. Might have some '50s Zildjians there. But personally I think for everything it's worth it.

Yes, I'd say fingers crossed on the cymbals. From what I see the one on the single cymbal stand appears to have some nice hammering. Looks vintage Avedis to me, from what I can tell.
