Thanks for the info Kenwood. Who made the tom that I posted a photo of?
Vintage Tempo kit
Sparkles your drum is Pearl made
Got it. Thanks again!
A friend who lives out in the countryside just rescued these Tempo drums from the roadside garbage for me. I'm assuming MIJ by Star as that looks like Star hardware. Anybody have any idea on age 60's ? 70's ? I figure I could clean them up and they would make a fun little back up set.
This one is made by Hoshino (K). Not related to Star. The lugs are nicknamed Sharktooth. At different points in time the Tempo brand was made by Hoshino, Pearl, and Star. Hope this helps.

This one was made by Hoshino (K) They were known for their sharktooth lugs and diamond shaped tom mount, Pearl and Star never had either.
