After seeing all your pics of the drum, I agree with The Breeze. Could still be a nice drum, but the connection to Kings is not as direct as I'd previously supposed - mostly just the crown, lugs, and it being fiberglass.
I'm looking at my Kings now and comparing them with your pics and they're quite different. I'd take pics but I can't find my camera.
- The bearing edge on Kings is very distinctive and quite different from the white and red drum.
- The bottom lip is different on the inside.
- The texture of the inside is different.
- The profile is very different, without the distinctive King flair towards the top.
- Square nuts inside! (Wow. How late were those used? I think this came up before on the board and no one really knew, as it probably varied by region.
