I posted earlier asking whether or not any of the great american vintage drum companies ever made a kick drum with 6 lugs. This is the reason I was asking. I came across this strange looking kick with what appears to be 6 radio king era center lugs and 60's/70's era slingy rods, tom mount and cymbal mount. No Badge that I can see from the pic. Grain inside the drum looks to me to be vertical but doesn't really look like the typical luan of an MIJ. What do you think this is?

Kent did some six lug "made in USA" bass drums. Their shells were two ply maple (actually one ply doubled over on itself). My gut feeling is that this is a MIJ of some sort though. I've seen those lugs before and I don't think they were on Kent drums.
