Can someone ID these MIJ drums for me?

Not the greatest pics but I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I am assuming by the metal hoops they are 80's but I have no idea. Sorry I do not have a better pic. Hoping someone can look at hardware and give me an idea.

The set looks to be a 1972-4 Pearl set.By the tom mount. spurs and some of the claws and T-rods on the bass..The wrap looks to be gold silk the shells could be fiberglass or wood-fiberglass or just wood ..Hard to tell by the photo....Mikey

I'm with Mikey... but could be a " little " later, say 75-76..

The metal hoops were mid 70's (down here anyhow)..

Cheers

John

those are 70,s pearls i can tell by the tom mounts i have a 1976 pearl fiberglass set i bought new in 76 and at this time i,m looking for that wingnut that hold the tom on i think they came out with that type of tom mounts in 1973 and used it up untill maybe 1982? so those can be from that era

Certainly a Pearl manufacture, but no identifying badge and no typical Pearl tag denoting "fiberglass" or "wood fiberglass." This still may be a stencil kit.
