Gentlemen,It's been cold up here in Canada / to say the least..We've had the worst winter/snow/ice/subzero temps/wind...that we've ever had in the last 15 yrs++..So working/refinishing my drums has taking a backseat..my shop is in the garage.!Have a cpl questions I've been pondering over for the last 2weeks..The kit in question is a..64 Roger's Cleveland/Holiday...Sizes are.. Bass 18"x14"/ Flr 14"x14"/ Tom 12"x8" & a (13"x9"early Dayton) that I'm gonna incld to use as a backup/switchup tom.Original wrap was bdp/but was removed from the prev owner)The inlay wrap is present (hoops), gonna keep it.(reuse).. * Currently its just a natural finish / up close the finish is worn dwn.!Also, already have a set of 67 Rogers in bdp) so having 2kits the same doesn't do it for me..! (not selling either).I'm picking up a old roger's snare (@62/63) that has the original WMP wrap/ minimal aging...!I've asked the seller(of the snare)2 go on Precision's website & look at *White Pearl / *Vintage White Pearl & *Antique White Pearl..So that I could wrap this kit to match the snare drum..!(He's an experienced vintage player/collector), So I trust his opinion..It's the Antique White Pearl..!Figures its $75 more then the other choices,(buying sheets/cutting.Question #1..Should I go with the lower priced ($$) wrap.?Being that the snare isn't seen from the crowd & the other wraps choices are easier to wrk with (thinner) & a Brighter finish.!(I'l be using this kit on stage/not Pubs, bigger safer venues.!)Question #2..Gluing the wrap vs the heavy duty tape option.?*Just asking..Seppo does live about 45mins away..!Pic is provided of the natural finished kit (far left)..*I'm not a big fan of keeping it O'naturale..!

I'm going with SAMs lower priced blue sparkle. I'm impressed. I have samples from SAMs and Precision, they are close. One thing I did notice, his vintage wrap has a bit of a dimpled texture - ever so slight. Like when you sit on the sidewalk and you get up, you skin has the dimples from the pebbles in the concrete. Again, it is extremely subtle. Every sample I have is different in color.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

Nice Kelly~! Great choice I think you'll really like it. Yes please LOTS of pictures. I have a WMP Rogers kit project going on here. And have been thinking about a wood snare project for it. Will be nice to see how it looks.

To do it right, the wrap has to be glued completely , using the 3M Contact cement from Precision Drum. No tape.

I used to use the tape to set it up; then the glue to bind. Actually really helpful on bigger drums, because you can get the tape to move if you screw it up.

I'm wrapped (!) in the spray contact cement. It's just so easy. No lumps. No mess. Wear a mask of course but it's really great, imho.

I agree / glue the whole shell / but use glue and pdf tape on the seams..

Give ya a nice clean wrap seam with No lifting..
