LaBoz - never heard of this brand. Is it MIJ?

Yea they are a MIJ Brand. Kenwood, if you go to the Advanced Reply you can change your title.

Hello R.Adam McHugh

Yes as Jay said MIJ all the way

I have heard of them before

but aside from one orphaned tom shell that I found at a drum shell graveyard sale

stripped of everything save for just that cool LaBoz badge

This is the only full kit I have run into

and I do a lot of looking I know there are members that have LaBoz drums

hopefully they will see this, and will feel welcome to post up some pics of their kits

Hello Jay

I appreciate the heads up on how to edit the thread title

I made the correction now.......... Thanks a million pal

No problem my friend, had to do it myself a few times.

And the drum graveyard sale, was that at Al Drew's Music? I keep seeing them post on CL about it, and have been tempted to grab a van and head out. But I'm afraid I'll get there to nothing,lol

Jay you are correct about Al Drew's

I have not been in for three or four months

In the first few visits (about a year and a half ago)

I went home with my Honda wagon fully loaded with mij drum shells

about three or four separate times

The last few times it was hard to find anything useable

in fact when you see the pictures of the selection in the Craigs list ad

most of what is mij in those shots is all stuff I have here now

most of what was left over then, were some American made marching shells

and some really stripped and/or picked over MIJ in too rough a condition to salvage

Dave Drew the owner is a good guy and sure gave me some excellent deals

but again, on my last visit, there was not much for a mij enthusiast to sink his teeth into

I wish now I had bought that LaBoz shell with the badge ..but I had little use for it then

Hey Jay

I just noticed that although I made the correction to my thread title

It did not correct itself as it is listed on the entire vintage non- USA board

The typo is still reading blue marie rather blue marine

also note in your next, as well as all of your past replies they will display the original mis-spelling in the Re:

Even with my own new replies here, I must edit the title each time hmmmm?

For example

Yea, I was mainly gonna go out there for project drums. Wasn't looking for any MIJ or American in specific. But figured if I could get a good load it would be worth it.

And interesting with the title, I thought it would have changed itself in the board as well. Hmmmm

Yep that's what happens with the titles. :)

Hey when you get that kit, be sure to set it up exactly as pictured! :)
