Arai kit Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

I have an old Arai kit and I am trying to find out something about it. There seems to be very little online about this make. Can anyone tell me anything about them and perhaps whether they are likely to be worth anything?

I can post images if that would help.

Thanks!

A pic of the badge would help prove this... Arai was a MIJ stencil brand.

Here are some photos. I have a 5 piece kit but the snare has no badges so it may not belong to the kit.

Yep, I recognize the badge. That's a stencil kit from Japan. Chances are the shells were made from luan. If you pull one of the heads off and see a vertical wood grain, you can verify that.

With a good set of heads and careful tuning, some of these kits cann sound great.
