It looks like an early "Blackrolite." That is, a 60's Acrolite that has been painted or coated in black.
The badge grommet does not look original to me.

if its 8 lugs, its an acrolite. they are not brass. they are made from what ludwig called ludalloy which is mostly aluminum. thats why the magnet didnt stick. great sounding drums. thats a spring 1965 drum if the badge is correct.

Thanks for the info, someone told me it might be brass if a magnet didn't stick, I don't know anything about vintage drums so I thought I would ask folks who know. Thanks again
