Hello Everyone!

I've been looking for a long time this excellent forum, but this is my first post and I would like to thank You for the many useful information.

I'm finally at the end of the restoration of a vintage Ludwig orphans.

Bass Drum is 22 '' 6-ply and toms are 14'' and 18'', 3-ply with re-rings, mahagony outer ply. Bass drum was re wraped with ugly mythological wallpaper over blue paint over the original white cortex finish. Toms had the same ugly wallpaper over maple cortex Ludwig wrap. All drums have had a clean interior.

Because of the extra holes, I painted the interior in white. Granitone inside finish is more period corectly, but less nice in my opinion.

I refinish these 3 drum in silver sparkle using a similar method as a guy from Pearl forum.

It only remains for me to mount badge grommets, so I bought a new ones, but they look too long. So please help me with information, what is the right length of badge grommets for 3 ply and 6 ply shell?

See picture.
