Tama Kingbeat with parallel throw.

Early to mid 80's.

$150 to $250.

The ones with the regular extended throw fetch more because they aren't as tweaky.

That one is in not so good shape,so think lower end of pricing scheme.

Do you think the set could be older

Probably between 74 -79.

I don't remember the Imps being natural finish.

So it may have had the wrap stripped.

Are you saying you received a complete Imperialstar drum kit? Can you post pictures of the toms and bass drum? As previously stated, the snare drum is the early version King Beat, from the later 70's. Also appears to have parts missing from one side of the strainer mechanism. Anything missing from the other side? I'm guessing that the original snare wires are also missing?

Pretty much lowers the value by a lot.

Looking at what you have ,I would say $300 to $350 for everything.
