it looks like someone may have added a second tom and made this up from a piece of tube plus a pearl 3 way clamp, to use the single bracket on the bass drum

I'm certainly not a pearl expert,but they sure do look like early exports to me.Metal bass drum hoops were used on entry level kits.

That set is a W-5 from around '78.The triple tree mount was fairly common till the mount with the two 7/8 pipes on the bass drum became standard.It should be fairly easy to fix the tree-is the screw stripped out or snapped off?

Teverson's observation is "spot-on." In my mind that's what the kit is, a W-5. It also has the standard mount -- what they called the Model 727-T double tom tom holder. Posted a couple of catalog pages below.

The tom arms are stardard 7/8" diameter arms, so they could be replaced with new ones made today. Same with the mounts on the BD and the Toms. That plate on the BD (727-3) is a part I'm ALWAYS buying...
