These are Leedy timbales, but probably from the era when Leedy belonged to the Slingerland company. I own a set like these, but mine have Leedy badges. Classic 13" and 14" brass shells and animal, probably calf, skins, traditionally wrapped around the rim.

Thanks for the reply. I think they are from 1960. They have a few dings but no real pitting. Any idea how much they're worth?

No idea, sorry. Ask Faustino Cruz "Cuco" in Effort, PA. He is a worldwide expert.
