I believe the drum on the right is MIJ, if that helps anyone. The wrap on the left he found out is called blue ripple.

Hi TEC!
I'm attaching a picture of a "Riviera" branded MIJ snare drum I had some years ago. As you can see, the wrap is the same as the bass drum you picture on the right side. The closest color match I can find is from a 1969 Pearl catalog, which is called "Blue Grain Pearl". I've never been able to track down the official name, but this seems close enough.

I believe that is a Hoshino made drum. I had a very similar kit in that finish recently

I'll have to snap some inside shots, and bearing edge shots of the tom tomorrow. It really has me perplexed. The color is a dead ringer for Pearl's Blue Grain Pearl finish. But seeing a Hoshino badge makes me wonder if Riveria was also made by Hoshino. Or did all the companies have this finish?

Turns out is actually a Pearl. Tried a few different lugs but none were fitting " just right " Met up with the guy I bought all this from, and he happened across a few Pearl lugs ( Pearl written inside ) and they are dead on. They match the outline of the lugs that were there.I think we found the winner. Blue Grain Pearl.
