I would say no. I have seen kits like this boasting 10 lugs etc.. I think that is what this is. Tama would have a badge or the tom holder would say Tama. I don't think they ever had badges. You would see some color variance on the bass drum by the grommet

Depending on the project, I would not since the project will end up costing more then the drums are worth depending on what you are planning on doing.

I have noticed people buying individual drums and making kits and they look great when they are done.

I would probably search for Ludwig 3-plys or Slingerland drum orphans and piece together a set and then make the investment on the labor and materials.

That is if you are into the vintage sound.

Then again, what is your plan for a project?

Well, the project isn't on a Government spending level. Ha ha. I was thinking of trying my hand at making my own bearing edges, and sanding down the exterior ply as smooth as I can get it, then give it a decent paint job using inexpensive paints from the autobody supply shop. Was thinking of a two stage paint with maybe some sort of design. The set is going to be a practice set anyways. I can get this set for next to nothing. Should I wait for some better drums to come along before spending the time on the project? Thanks for the input!! :)

If that is the case, and you are not investing in new wrap, then

it would be a good practice restoration set if it has all of the

parts.

Yes, all hardware is there and bagged and numbered as to where all the lugs came from when this guy took it apart.
