Inexpensive import kit -probably made in China. You should make a thread in the Non USA drum section.

Maybe they are wrapped in that contact plastic stuff. Could be a better wrap underneath. They may not be vintage, but drums are always fun. Best of luck!

Look like Pearl from the late 70s to early 80s, judging by te lugs and tom mount. The wrap appears to be Rosewood, as seen here: http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/finishes/pearl/1978_pearl_finishes.jpg

Those are extremely similar to the MIT's I found in a contruction dumpster 2 years ago,except for the tom mount (which by the look of things may have been changed).Same speckle interiors,same bass drum claws.Probably came with hex rod mounts for the toms.All in all a very typical Pearl built MIT mid 70's stencil set.Mine had no badging of any kind.

Thats what i thought at first too, but the base drum legs dont match to anything pearl has. so thats of the list.
