I don't know what you have there, but that wrap looks awfully thin. I would remove all the hardware and peel the wrap off, if it were mine. WD40 will clean off any remaining sticky residue left behind.

your bass drum is a stencil knockoff of a slingerland bass drum, it is made in japan.

OK, sounds like I need to remove the wrap to get to the bottom of this.

Any idea how much it might be worth?

not much $50.00 or so, if you are going to use it that is the value.

My guess is that it originally had the double ended lugs (club-date style) and while much of the hardware appears to be MIJ, the claws appear to possibly be authentic Slingerland. Obviously a re-wrap. Looks like a frankenstein.

Regardless, I would suggest changing out the lugs to the double-ended ones, buy some claws and Ts, and use an Aquarian SKI on the batter side and an Evans EQ3 on the front. This shell (MIJ 1967 or earlier) is known to produce a very good warm low-end sound....great BD shell. Just be careful with it (as it is quite delicate). Wood hoops would also improve the sound.

If you're looking to 'flip', and make $, then this is probably not the way to go. Orphans are always risky, and harder to unload, (unless you're fortunate with your timing) and MIJ drums in general don't command much $, even in great original shape. I'd say you'd probably be LUCKY to get $50 for this drum, and that'd be after you'd spent a heap of time and money to restore to original. Just finding replacement lugs, t-rods, claws - these look like Star to me, though t-rods look Pearl... hoop, and reso head would probably cost you more than what you could get back. May well be a decent drum, but not of much resale value.

Thanks for all your help guys! It's up on eBay now... My friend wants to try and sell for at least $50, if not he'll just keep it. So it's up for grabs if anyone wants it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251596702510?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
