Has anyone used or seen the "Continental" color wrap from Precision? I've been looking for a wrap that compares to the old Slingerland WMP from the 30-40's. And wondering how close it is to a match. To me it kinda had the look but without seeing in person hard to tell. It has been discontinued from Precision but they have enough to do the one drum I have. If anyone has any better suggestions for WMP wrap colors I'd be happy to hear them.
Which also leads me to question #2. I have a 40's 9x13 Radio King shell with maple exterior. It's been stained clear and not very well at that. From what I've read the maple exteriors were either painted or stained from that time. Sadly it's been drilled for a Pearl tom mount. And has a 2" hole as the result. My plan was to fill the holes and rewrap it in the Continental wrap. I was also thinking about a white stain somewhat translucent that would show some grain through it. Or should I just refinish the drum in clear and leave it as is in natural maple? My project is a 13-16-22 40's Slingerland kit in WMP. I found a nice old bass with streamliner lugs I should have soon. It's been drilled for a consolette and was thinking about the one Maxwells sells as a replacement. Looks pretty nice but a bit spendy. If anyone has some better suggestions for that please chime in.
This kit will be a long term project. I figure at least a year or so until I'm able to find and afford everything I need. But should be a cool kit when done hopefully.
