Go here.... you will find your drums

That's what I was thinking too - it looks like a WMP version of the "Stage Band":

...but as late as the 1965 catalog, Slingerland was still showing clip-on tom mounts, and the kit in question looks like it's got a consolette-type tom mount. Maybe Slingerland was just lazy updating the catalog photos, since that same photo was also in some earlier catalogs...

One other thing I just noticed: that kit in question looks like it's got 6 lugs on the bass drum, and I don't see any Slingerlands with fewer than eight.

I wonder who was making Slingerland style knocks-offs c. 1960? Is that too early for a MIJ kit?

Regardless of the brand, I think it's a cool looking little set!

Interesting kit. I am wondering what the badges say. Looks like a clone

I think not Slingerland after all too.... there's a badge on the ride tom, and there shouldn't be until later in the sixties... sorry about the missed ID earlier.

someone I showed the picture to once told me they thought it was a company called Norma or something like that.... or maybe a cheap japanese copy of something that was already cheap... any thoughts?

here is another pic

the floor tom legs are also not straight. one thing is for sure the guy playing them has a very unique style.....lefty run a muck DOH

looks like a 18 inch bass drum...

Is this your set or are you just a fan?

Anyway, my money is on an early MIJ stencil set. Would love to get a close up pic of the badges if the owner still has them.

BTW, Sonic Youth is awesome... good choice.

Hi, That set in photo is a 1960s[61-64] set of drums it looks like the bass is a 20" mounted tom 12" floor tom 14" snare 14"...Its not a Norma badges are not right[Norma used another shape on the badges]...So your set is a copy of a slingerland set[check the lugs and badge slingerland copys] shells are 3 ply firewood with rings..As far as name many japanese makers used that shape of badge-about 40-50 names...mikey
