I bought these locally in 2009. I'm second owner. Ist owner bought them in a local music store... long since closed down. They're right at that transition time of 3ply to 6ply shells. This set came from the factory with snare, bass and tom of 3ply and floor tom 6ply.
The original owner passed away in 2005 and I didn't know him. I bought the drums from his daughter.... she never played them.
I'm a little confused after looking at the catalogs of the day.... I have a 58 and 61.... can't find 1959 and 60.
The confusion for me is I've been told these are a Name Band set and have never questioned that until I looked for my drum sizes offered in the catalogs.
1958 and 61 catalogs show Name Band bass drum optional size 20x14 which mine is. But, when it comes to toms they don't list 12 x 8 or 14x14 floor toms as size options for Name Band sets. The only set with those tom sizes is the Progressive Jazz. The Bop Sets of the day did not offer the smaller tom configurations either.
You could however buy the smaller toms by themselves.... They're listed further into the catalogs.
My drums are pre- paper tags. They have Silver Sealer. The floor tom has the diamond plate leg supports which are shown in the 61 catalog. The Nodal supports shown in the 58 catalog. I'm thinking the transition for the supports was 59 or so.
In the end I guess my drums could very well be Name Band with a special order of 12x8 and 14x14 toms.
