I’ve thought about it, but they sound pretty horrible in practice. Horrible not in a good funky/lo-fi way.
I can only think of one or two instances where they were used on an album, even at the height of their popularity (the late 1970’s).

I had to stand in front of one of those sets back in the day.  So… I don’t think so.

Are they the same as the “Stacatto” drums back in the 70s ?

Not the very same.
Similar design, similar sound and similar aim (loud).

Clattery racket ?

I thought they had their purpose. They directed the sound, which was decent….depending on what heads you put on them. I worked as a drumtech for a band in the 80’s… they used those oil filled heads. They were very easy to setup and mic up. Sure,.. onstage (or in a basement rehearsing) if you stand in the wrong place at the wrong time one hit could blast your eardrum… but in a controlled studio it was like that at all. They really only had two volume modes…soft and EXTREME!
