A roto-tom is a shell-less drum consisting of a drum hoop, a threaded metal axle two metal baskets and lugs. To tune the drum, one only has to turn the drum clockwise to raise the pitch, or counter clockwise to lower it.

The metal baskets are stacked one on top of the other. One basket has a threaded hole that the metal axle passes through while the other is solid in the middle and smaller in diameter. The drum head is stretched by the solid basket as the axle is turned tightening it against the head.

Unless there's actual proof (Signature, photo or video clip to compare) that the drum kit belonged to John Walton from the band 13th Floor Elevators, it will only be worth as much as its condition allows it to be or its demand by a collector for that brand. If it can be proved that the drum kit in fact did belong to John Walton from the band 13th Floor Elevators, a collector might make you a substantial offer for it.
Should I get Remo Clear Pinstripe Remo Coated Pinstripe or Remo Ebony Pinstripe?
Depends what youre looking for.
Coated heads are generally warmer in tone, not as loud, and are good for funk, latin, blues, and jazz
Clear heads are fatter and brighter in tone, and very loud when tuned low. Ideal for rock and metal.
Ebony heads are a tighter, darker sound and are best tuned tight. They are heads that are good for pretty much anything, but are closer to coated heads than clear ones.
Aside from looking awesome, the pinstripe provides sound control for the heads so with those, you should not need E Rings or StudioRings or Moon Gel or any other dampening material.
I prefer coated heads, then clear, then ebony.
