Looks like they are. Sonor made two lines during this era (early-to-mid 1970's): the Champions, which were six-ply beech shells with rounded edges, and the Swinger, which I believe were the same shells but with different hardware (i.e. the lugs were plastic). The two lines shared many of the same metal parts, but later in the decade the Champions (and the Super Champions - I'm not sure what the differences were between the two) got the "Y" shaped spurs, while the Swingers kept the older, teardrop-style, straight spurs.

With that badge and bass mount, I`d guess Super Champion. The best way to tell....Champion were six ply rounded edges and Super Champion were nine ply 45 pre Phonic shells.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!
