I have some. How much are you looking to spend? They probably all need new skins and there is no stand (although a regular cymbal stand does the job). They are pretty much as in your picture.

They're the things in the photo above - the main feature is that you rotate the whole drum to tighten the skin. Plus their lack of full 'drum' compartment gives them a cool pingy sound. Basically think of those high toms rolls on Pleasure to Kill that sound almost like pots and pans.

They are totally awesome, I want some!

So....Sepultura - Schizophrenia sounding maybe? I love those toms.

Only other place ive heard those is on a Terrorizer split with Nausea (which i think its better than World Downfall because of the old Schizophrenia type of sound).

I dragged them back from the icy wastes of the practice garage today, I'll takes some pics later. As far as I can tell, all is well except for the heads, which are fucked.
