Neither Star nor Pearl, but the other Hoshino would be my best guess.

Hoshino Kougyou that is.

Thanks for that neorich. Where might I might find more info on that brand/manufacturer? I'd love to see some pictures of different snares by them. Thanks.

Is it a rewrap? It looks like it`s in great shape...

Congrats!!

Cheers

Ok Doug

My wife complains that I am constantly surfing eBay and other sites to get drums for my collection. How come you found that one and I didn't even see it ! Sometimes life is just not fair. Great looking drum ! Good luck with it. How about some more pictures?

grantro - I don't think it's a re wrap but I can't be sure until I receive it. I was surprised how good it looked too. Thanks.

CTMichaelV - I'm sneaky that way. Lately I've been looking at reverb.com too. Anywhere else I should be surfing? hehe

I'll post more pictures once it arrives.

Here's a couple from eBay ...

wish I could upload more than one pic at once. It never works.

Okay so it landed in my hands today. This thing is in good shape. Missing butt plate and strainer pieces and screws to hold snares in place. Missing muffler. The silver stripe is some sort of contact paper-like thing but looks cool and I'll likely leave it. Not bad for 15 bux plus shipping!

Can those little plates and screws be acquired somewhere??

-Doug

Here's the screw holes where the muffler should be. Can anyone recommend an appropriate muffler? Thanks!
