Hello!I found some pictures of drum shells and lugs which I am intersted too buy.My guess is this is something from former East Germany,Chekoslovakia(also former0,or Russia(former SSSR).This drums are in Serbia(former Yugoslavia),hihihihi..lot of former countries.But if I am wrong,please try to identifie what this may be??This lugs are from tom and floor and the thurd are from snare,dimensions are 22-13-18

Those are pics of the shells.I think that snare shell is not welded,but only bended(sorry about my english)

To Me your drum's look like a set of Roxy drum's made in west germany tom's and bass late 40's-50's,snare 60's..If you have the snare strianer and t-rod's for the tom's or t-rod's claw's for the bass drum and post a photo this would pin it down better...Mikey
Thanks Mikey,I dont have those pics,I mean guy have no other parts,wrap was stripped,these are only thing he have,only parts

Could be early Amati. As Gilnar recently posted, they made some good stuff in the early days, 3 ply shells and OK hardware. Those look like the lugs we have seen from him, and the single point lugs are really a cool idea, especially from this era, when dynamics of resonance was not a top priority. Looks as though you might have a cool set of shells as a great base for a project....now to find some single point lugs that will work and your off the battle of the bands!
Only Amati(early),i have seen were with Premier style lugs,and 2 point lugs.If Gilnar have some idea or seen those would be great to identifie.Also,measures are 22-12-18,those early Amati were often 20-12-16.

These either are not Amati, or they are first of their kind I've seen. The 3 plies I was talking about a while back looked like this:

So I'm guessing different country (but I'd still say east bloc, the lugs look typically eastbloc-unelegant to me). Maybe romanian, or hungarian? Some forum members from these countries might know.
yeah Gilnar,they didn"t look like Amati too me,more like some DDR factory or maybe Russian
________
Gilnar,I think that this old Amati dont have reinforcment rings on snare drum.Can you confirm this?
I found brand name Polmuz,I beleive it is from Poland.If any forum member is from Poland,maybe can tell us something about it

Sorry for bumping old thread.
Dule: Some of them did, some of them didn't. My guess is that the older snares had them and as they were switching production to 6plies, they produced mixed sets for some time, before they went completely 6ply.
