Anything else you guys can note?
Not mine... yet! ;-)
These could have sold together from a dealer. The snare is late 75-very early 76
BD has incorrect hoops, claws and T-rods if that matters to you.
...and the hoops on the 12" aren't Rogers. I'm not convinced this is even Spanish Gold. The strong warming tint on all the pics is making everything look yellowish-gold. Spanish Gold should be darker. This set could be New England White.

Whoops, I stand corrected about that finish. Photoshop correction on that unnatural warming shows it is indeed Spanish Gold...

The drums have the '9/72' small tags inside?
If so, they were made anywhere from 1972 thru 1975.
The snare is indeed a transitional drum, it wears both badges. They did this in order to use up the existing inventory of shells that had the grommet to the right of the strainer.
As stated above by our resident Big R expert, the snare could have come with that kit.
