Need help identifying these drums pls...

Posts: 12 Threads: 2

Hello All! I'm kinda the new guy here and I'd like to first thank 'MIKEY777' and 'fishwaltz' for helping me get to a point where I can finally post my own thread. Also, my apologies to 'Fuse' for hi-jacking his link to ask my dumb questions...and to 'james' who happened to be chatting with Fuse when I stepped in. Okay, now that that part is done, let's get on with it!

I'm looking to ID these drums. Someone suggested to me that they're some sort of Pearl Export sub-model but I'd like to know what exact sub-model name they might be and whether they're below or above the standard quality Export set. The bass drum is an 8-lug and the floor tom an 8-lug as well. The floor tom has a built-in factory damper like a good-quality snare would have. I have a Pearl Export set but the lugs are very different.

These lugs tend to feel a tiny bit heavier in weight than my Pearl export set lugs. I've searched Google using all sorts of search terms. I scrolled through 27 pages on eBay looking for something similar and have yet to find a match for the style of these lugs.

Oh, the thing it does have in common with my Pearl Export set is the bass drum claws. So although I'm thinking it's a Pearl, I'd like to know more. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Your set is made by Pearl late 70's to maybe mid 80's.Its a no name set that they exported to the U.S. and sold 1000's of them.The tom mount tube bass drum plate and mounts on toms are all copys of Tama-{ copys of tama's Swingerstar line]- shells are 9 ply.....Mikey

Thanks Mikey777, Yeah, figured they were some sort of Pearl since it seems more than likely most unidentified drums are in fact Pearls. I just figured if I could find the actual name of the sub model, I could get a search going for more drums like this and then to add onto this set. Then I'd probably do a recovering on all of em to make them match. Gotta get the same lugs going though. I appreciate the input. Have a great drummin' day!
