Anyone know what Pearl called THIS finish? Is a close replacement available today?
thanks, Retro
Maybe Marine Pearl.. that badge seems to indicate an era when that drum was offered in Marine Pearl, Grey Pearl and Blue glitter. Check the 66 catalog on the link below and the colors in the 68 catalog.

I sure don't recall seeing anything like that being made now.
This looks more like the light blue pearl, just with 40ish years of fade to it. I have seen many of these in this and the other pearls and this looks more light blue to me.
Well, I like it. I think its 'purdy' pearl...

Drummaker.com supplies "Colorwraps" in about 1000 different shades. Looks like maybe one on the bottom row of "Marine Pearl 10" would be a close match. They will send you a master color sheet so you can choose the closest match. Not exactly cheap wrap, though.
I had a kit in the same color,same badge,but with a rail mount,and not as much fade as what looks like in your pic,I thought it was very close to sky blue pearl of the american companies of the time,but I will tell you after I buffed it up it looked terrific under lights,a lot of movement,I got compliments from drummers, musicians and audience members alike.If you haven't already buff them up and see what you have ,mine came back a lot better than I thought they would.
