My 4-month quest for a suitable semi-matching floor tom for my 66 Slingerland kit is a FAILURE. I'm now considering Krylon Sparkle Blast spray paint on a suitable MIJ w/Slingy lugs. It is a shame,because the drum, which is red sparkle,is in good condition. But I'm anxious to play these drums out. I would certainly consider trading for a stripped Slingerland floor tom if someone needed the red sparkle. Any experiences with the Krylon?
Gold sparkle floor tom-FAIL...Krylon next.
What are you matching too? Pardon me if you post this before, I have a short memory.
Thank you!

Oh,stupid me, gold sparkle in the title, he he.
Why not use regular drum wrap?
Thank you!

Both new Gold Sparkles are way too orange, almost orange sparkle. I can't find anything,even MIJ to match this.
I might be acquiring what you're looking for in the next week. Going to take a look at a huge lot of items this weekend. Spent an hour on the phone with the seller tonight and he advised I would need a few hours just to see everything he has. He has three separate lots. One of complete vintage US drums ( leedy,ludwig,slingerland,gretsch,rogers,etc.. ) a lot of MIJ drums ( also has some keller shells, UK drums ) and then another lot of just hardware and parts. If I see any US or MIJ gold sparkle floor toms I'll make sure to snag one up for you. Any size in particular you're looking for?

Just sent you a PM. I might have something that could work for you. See the photo below.
Is this close to what you are looking for (wrap wise)?
I have friend who has a gold sparkle 14x16 Slingerland Stage Band floor tom. It is missing one tension rod. Last time I talked to him he wanted $400. I can talk to him about it if your interested.
