Hello everyone!

This is my first post, so go easy on me. But I am looking for a 1960's Ludwig 20" Black Oyster Pearl hoop for my first restoration kit.

My sister told me that her friends husband had an old kit he would sell me and so I followed up on it. I knew it was a Ludwig, that was it. It is a 12/14/20 Black Oyster Pearl kit with pre-serial COB snare and the guy basically handed it to me. I had no idea what it was until I took some time on Vintage Drum Guide and this forum. I am pumped to be fixing this thing up. It seems to be a pretty sought after kit.

Anyways, I think the guy said he took the (reso) hoop off sometime back in the 70's and doesn't have it anymore. I have gotten most of the replacement parts that it was missing from eBay, but cannot seem to find a 20" hoop.

I am new to this vintage drum stuff, so can someone tell me whether or not I will ever find one of these hoops (and for a reasonable price), or if I am dreaming?

Thank you!!!
