My understanding is that , apart from some unique and inventive wraps from Italy, all real drum wrap comes from Delmar. I don't think there is a European maker anymore.This is not to include the stick on stuff and the iridescent or sheen wraps or the thin brittle stuff that comes on oriental products.That wrap is totally different. The difference between sparkle and glass glitter is this. The particles in the sparkle are more or less round and uniform in size and most are laying flat so theu reflect light up through the glossy coloured resin surface.If you look straight at the sparkle, you get maximum reflectivity off the particles, so it has a sheen. If you look at it from a 60 degree angle , you get almost none.In betrween that as you look at a drum , there would be a border between the sheen and no sheen. Sparkle wrap mics at a little over 1/2MM.
Glass glitter, which mics about twice as thick, has enough depth in the resin, for the angular, unevenly sized particles( i think they are aluminum) , to be embedded at various angles, so you get only about 50% reflectivity ,straight on and a twinkling effect as you move off axis. This wrap tends to sparkle more than sparkle but has less direct luminescence and although the pigment seems to be the same it comes off as having a slightly darker colour darker colour on axis and brighter off axis.
The turquoise wrap is a nice colour but is dramatically different than the older wraps known as aquamarine, for which there is no modern replacement. Since you are in the midwest, any U.S. supplier would be about equal for shipping. Precision Drum co., Jammin Sam's or drummaker.com should have it. I've dealt with all and they are all good. Each has some finishes that the others don't.
