Zim Gars were imported from Japan by the Garfield Zimmerman company in NY, a music distributor. The drums were made by Hoshino, the same company that later produced and still produces Tama drums. The drums were of varying quality from the cheapest crap to some fairly decent maple shells of midline quality. George

From bonzoquinn

Has anybody ever heard of this brand, or know any history/endorsers? My kit is a 4 piece blue sparkle (20/12/16/w matching 14x5). The 8-lug snare has a microsensitive-esque strainer w/ adjustable butt. Die cast hoops on snare & toms. Really nice punchy sounding kit.

Here's a Pic of a Zim-Gar badge. I've seen recently on ebay. It was on a floor tom being sold with a Stewart kit.
