Precision Drum, Jammin' Sam, and drumbuilder.com all sell wraps. There will be two tricks here: first, to my knowledge none of them duplicate the 1960s Ludwig WMP exactly -- the pattern is slightly different. For an inlay strip, though, you can probably get away with what's available.

Second, it will be tough to match the shade since WMPs age so idiosyncratically. There are a couple of options to solve this problem: first, Precision Drum in particular carries a wide variety of WMPs. You can order sample swatches to try to match the pattern and colour as closely as possible. Second, if that doesn't work, you can order a custom-tinted WMP from drumbuilder.com in their "ColorWraps" line. They only sell full sheets, though, and they're quite expensive -- probably more than is worth it just for an inlay, though of course that's up to you.

Good luck!

I think that's Drummaker.com....... not drumbuilder......?

It's the same site--either URL will get you there. :)

i have a old piece of W.M.P. off a 65 Ludwig tom,i can cut you a piece for your rim it may match...Mikey

Thanks, sorry for the mis-information... I couldn't get drumbuilder to load up last night, so I thought there was some mistake.

Apparently my computer suffers from confusion just as I do on occasion !!

Thanks everyone! Turns out one of the rims already had a new strip inlayed sometime in the past. It is close enough to the original, most would never notice the slight color diff.

I still need the 24" but for now have put that part of the rim w/o inlay facing down so the missing part can't easily be seen.

I just got a Elvis band gig so the Ludwigs should be perfect in sound and in looks! They turned out pretty nice for my first restoration. Thanks again for the great help and advise!
