Just got this pile of scrap that I intend to make into a "Skip Kit" anyone have any idea as to who the manufacturer is? I've been looking all day but have drawn a blank.

"I think you can name those anything You want"...

and then put the logo on the bass drum when you're done. If they are in good shape they' I think, look pretty special say in a dark grey sparkle wrap or something toned down... low and classy..Or just natural like you have em

"outrageous"

ps I wouldn't put silver sparkle on them they'd be too loud.

Maybe have some fun staining them..

I don't see that as a pile of scrap. They look pretty decent to me.

Looking at the interior of the bass drum, they are not some cheap MIJ stencil kit. The wood looks better than luan. Must be a 70s/80s kit, and yeah, maybe Pearl or Tama.

Oh, what's a skip kit?

Skip putting them in cases when going to a Gig.

Definitely not a "pile of scrap"! They do look like your typical MIT drums though. The depth of the tom shells says late 80's or early 90's to me! Nice looking lugs and a Pearl-style tom mount. The shells look good to me and, with the heads of your choice, they probably will sound good, too!

On this side of the Pond, we don't know what a "skip kit" is. Please enlighten us!
