The pics aren't that great. I assume they're just reading what it says on the drum head. I could use another drum kit since I'm just using a buddy's exports.

 

I was thinking about checking them out since they are probably really close to where I live. Any help identifying them or info about what to look for would be appreciated thanks.

Can't really tell because of grainy pics. Here's what I can tell: is a cheaper set from the metal hoop on the bass and the toms seem to have "slide on" tom mounts. Remo Weatherking is a name from the drumheads, not the drums. could be anything from a cheaper brand name set or a copy (or stencil set) of a brand name set. Looks to be from the 80's or early 90's. If you're looking to have just a practice set, may be worth it, can always change the heads to your liking.

 

What I don't see and what I would be asking about: tom mounts?, floor tom legs?,Bass pedal, High hat and cymbal stands? From the background it seems like it's been packed away for a little bit, from the description and photos it seems the poster doesn't know much about drums. Also looks to have one deep snare and one picolo or short snare. Might get if you're looking for a practice set or your first set to play around on. IF you could ask the person questions, play the set or see the set in person would tell A LOT more.....hope this helps.

Good advice above there mate.

 

If they are close to you why not go check them out, probably all right for the money I'd imagine, I presume you already have cymbals? If not, it may be more prudent to look for a kit with cymbals.:idk:

I was thinking Sonor for a minute there too but I'm not so sure.

 

Box, that might be a tom mount clip on the tom. I'm not an expert on Sonor badges.

 

Those lugs are quite distinctive, I'm having a tough time placing them.

If they're Sonor drums they are probably old enough to have those odd t-rods that have the slot through them. You'd either need a Sonor drum key or try to tune them with a flathead screwdriver.

 

Hard to tell from the photos, but there are either a ton of reflections coming off the drums or those wraps are beat to {censored}.

 

If they're close by absolutely go take a look at them-- you can't beat that price. Those lugs are really distinctive.

Gawd why do people do that, the head says Remo so they must be made my Remo weather king ... I guess my guitar is a Dean Markley blue steel, that's what the metal plucky thingies said on the box... So aggravating..

He took beter pics but still didn't take any close enough pics to tell what they are. Also annoying.. Does it come with simbels?
