Here are some interesting snares on auction this week (still pretty cheap)

One is a drum company from the 60s and early 70s - Fuji

Hey Eric, those Fuji lugs appear to be the Pearl stencil snare lugs, identical to my red sparkle, which is on loan at the moment, so no pix...

Hey Jonni- these Fuji drums are quite sweet- like what we do to MIjs -take them to the next level- MIJs but made with care to detail- these drums (and Negi Drum Co too) have great snare beds and excellent workmanship -yet still in the MIJ timeline and tradition. Small batch makers. I will try to score this one and tell more. Negi Drum Co. and Fuji Drum Co. are really interesting to me for that fact. Let`s study them.

I just picked up an Aria snare, with cymbal mount that slides into the snare butt, and a cheapey little 12 inch cymbal. The snare stand though is what I bought this set-up for. An early TAMA or late Star adjustable basket stand in near mint condition I will post some pix when I get around to it. Paid 43 including shipping. I consider this a part of my purchase price. Since I normally don't intend to sell my collections, I tend to consider that as purchased price. In other words, the sale was 24.99 plus like 13 shipping so I paid 43-45 for the snare. For me this is pushing max-D

O-bop, those aren't the original hoops on the Gracy snare, are they?

These are all super nice looking, the Fuji (which looks like a Pearl to me as well,) the Gracy, and the Teisco set (wonder what that cymbal is!) Thanks for posting these pics!

Hey there, yes- I think those hoops are original Gracy- it`s hard to believe but most of the Gracy sets here from the late 60s and early 70s were using aluminum die-cast hoops- I have a Gracy set from 70/71 and those were the hoops on it. They are pretty heavily pitted (mine) - I think they needed to use a better chrome process. I have pics in my photo collection of another Gracy snare with these same hoops- singer
