Success! Recreated Vintage Drum Wrap

Posts: 268 Threads: 80

I managed to successfully re-create "Fantasia Pearl". I call it Fantasy Pearl on my website: http://walopus.com/product/fantasy-pearl-drum-wrap

Many thanks to ARCHxANGEL for sending me a scan of a decent size piece to model from.

This can be altered in many ways. Whiter whites for a brand new crisp look. The black can be made blacker, the whole thing can be biased towards yellow, green or ivory for a more aged look or two match existing drums.

I love this wrap! Excellent job reproducing it! Here's my early 70's 6-lug snare drum wrapped in original "Pearl Fantasia". True, we all call it Fantasia Pearl, but the 1972 Star catalog properly calls it Pearl Fantasia. Here's a link to the 1972 catalog, with this color shown on pages 6 and 36. Enjoy! http://www.tamadrum.co.jp/anniversary/page.php?cat_id=8&year=1972

idrumforfun, that wrap is killer.

CompactDrums I think your onto something, nice work but I just can't get over the Original wraps depth. ( don't know what else to call it.)

Keep up the great work.

Thanks very much Wayne. I'm diggin' this basic finish. Just added another version of it and will likely add more versions as I experiment with the general process of making it.
