Can you help me identify these drums?
Based on the design of the lugs (shark tooth) and the tension rod receptor inserts, I'm pretty confident identifying this as a Hoshino made set. Howe...

The thing about 3 in 1 oil is that you only need to use a drop, maybe 2, per rod. Any more than that is too much. I put a small drop of it on the ve...
