Help to identify?

Loading...

Can anyone help me identify the brand of these inexpensive drums I bought about 1968?

Two things that might help is the single tom mount was a tube that slid into a hole in the tom and then you tightened a collet to hold it in place; and it had a straight rod for a cymbal molder that slid into a hole in the bass drum.

I could be wrong but that tom holder looks like a "Kent" if in fact it is and the pic is from 68 then it's a U.S. kit. Inexpensive but definitely Kenmore NY USA!

The tom holder, lugs, placement of cymbal mount on the kick and the snare butt all seem right for a Kent. Good eye richm!

That does look like a Kent tom arm, but the lugs are hard to identify.

Heck with the drums. :) Check the attic for those toys on the shelf. I see Batman and Godzilla.
