That's a 1960's Ludwig Keystone silver sparkle (ginger-aled for sure). Looks like modifications to the mounting system on the toms have been made, as well as extra holes on the bass drum. Missing hoops/hardware for bottom of toms and bass drum (obviously), with luck - they still have them somewhere.

I'd be more excited about the cymbals and the snare (hopefully a Supraphonic).

Keystone badge on the fl tom and baseball bat mufflers would indicate that this is a 60's set not 70's. It's tough to tell what the snare is but one lug is visible and doesn't look like Ludwig. It also looks like there was a rail mount for the tom that was removed and filled in with carriage bolts. A fixer upper for sure if the price is right.

It doesn't look like a Supra back there, almost like the lugs from a Rocker, maybe? That would be too bad. But I'm looking forward to the cymbals on this!flowers2

Interiors have been overpainted gray.

I wasn't sure about that. I thought maybe the shadow may be making the white interiors look gray.

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I just don't understand why someone needs to get a bucket of gray paint and go nuts on the interior of drums. I hate to paint anything, let alone take off the lugs of drum and paint interior shells. Why do people feel the need to modify? Get a dog. Please, step away from the drum kit! So many ways to ruin a good thing :)
