That is really neat. Do you mind sharing the name of the company?

Howie Cool beans !!

Bum Wrap in Maryland. The man I spoke with is named Murray. Take a look at their web site to see many examples of what they have done. They don't charge extra for custom made wraps if the buyer provides camera ready pictures or art. I was going to hold off plugging the company until I received the wrap. But, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to name them now. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other wrap suppliers.

Just to get the negative side out of the way, I'll be the first to say don't do it! You'll destroy the integrity of that classic set, which is way cool with the Rogers gear.

OK, so that's done. Now, about re-wrapping it: Very cool choice!!! Yes Sir

I'm going to check out the bum wrap for sure.

I've owned a couple dozen vintage drum sets. The only drums I've re-wrapped are mix and match orphans to make into a matching set. I've also replaced only the delaminated strips of White sparkle wrap with WMP on on my tri-color Slingy set. But, the universe of people who love (or even know about) Walberg & Auge drums is very small. The facts that I acquired the Salmon Satin Flame set for a low price, and that they sat for over a year in one of the country's top vintage drum seller's store with no takers before I re-acquired them, helped me to make up my mind to re-wrap the drums in something that would hopefully bring me joy.

I just visited the bum site. Looks as if you can put the new wrap over the existing and not damage the original wrap. They indicate it is 21 mils thick. I wonder if that works well.

The multi-satin flame is very cool. You need sunglasses on for that one! I've done new wrap if old wrap is really bad, like seriously cracked, splotched or de-laminated, or as you have done, I've done a set of loners. The thing is, the wrap is giving out on the kits that were actually used. At some point you have do something to bring them back to decency. I got a set from a forum member with wrap falling off the floor tom. I'm using it as a shed kit and just haven't been able to make up my mind to do anything about the wrap. Might do some day though because I really like the kit overall. It's a 69-ish Citadel with a 20, 13, 16 layout. Must have been beautiful when new.

I had already decided to re-wrap before I found the Bum Wrap site. So, I had just finished stripping the shells. But, before I stripped the shells, I tried putting on the drum head and hoop with credit cards placed at four equidistant places around the edge of the shell. The various heads I have would not fit. Remember.....these are Gretsch shells that are notoriously oversized.

Oh man, I just have to high five you for the "clown barf" kit. Just the idea of a Satin Flame citrus jellybean kit is migraine-inducing (in a good way).

As far as the politics of rewrapping, I believe that resell-wise, a messed up original wrap will probably lower the price as much as a good rewrap, no?

And as far as preserving vintage integrity....hmm. A future owner can peel off the Bum Wrap and put some Satin Flame on and tell the Vintage Drum Neural Collective how he or she "rescued" the kit.

Hey folks! Here are the Walberg & Auge drums with the new Bum Wrap applied. The drum wrapping was a breeze because the material was cut to size for each drum allowing for quarter of an inch of bare shell at each edge. The bass drum wrap was in one piece--not two pieces. My cell phone camera can't properly capture the rich dark green color. All that's left to do is install the badges. I need to get the proper badge grommets before a do that. Thanks for all the support for this project.
