Can't think of the manufacturer

[sifuhall]

Back in the mid to late 80's I had my first acoustic drum set.

It was a 5 piece, black, with power toms (1" deeper than regular toms).

I bought it used for about $250 and played the devil out of it for about 2 years, then moved up to a much nicer Yamaha set (and continued to purchase bigger and better sets).

My original set was an odd brand, and I can't for the life of me remember it. I was feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to see if I could find any info but dang if I can't remember the manufacturer.

Does anyone remember some of the lesser known drum kit manufacturers of the late 80's?

CB700? Remo? Royce? (doubtful) There are more... those were the first that came to mind.

They list a lot of the off-brands from the 70's and 80's. See if any of those jog your mind.

How bout ROC? i had one of those kits in the 80.s. it was a 8 piece wine red set with square sized single headed rack toms, 10x10 12x12 13x13 14x14, a 16x16 floor tom, 2 16x22 kicks and a 8 x14 wood snare. i think that set cost around 600.00 - 800.00 bucks. not sure of the wood it was made of but cheap!!
