* Snare drums PAD 14 have according to the color finishes CB or KW, shells with matching black or red metal finish.

NOTE: My literature is dated 10/85. No mention of the shell construction, but since these are so similar cosmetically to the PERFORMER series, I'd guess them to be 6-ply beech 7mm shell for toms and 9-ply 10mm shell for the bass drum.
