Just curious. It looks like original wrap, and this is the badge grommet.

Really?

bf - looks to be -machine-pressed- nothing to fret over. I don't think the badge was ever removed. The area surrounding the grommet is pristine/untouched. That's a factory job.

Too many great drums to list here!

Looks original to me. That's how they did snare drums although I have seen them on toms and bass drums when they apparently were out of stock on tacks and bass drum grommets.
