I have a 1970 Ludwig drum set. It has the B/O badge and reinforcment rings. It is a blue silk wrap, which was available apparently for the first time, in 1970. However, the wrap does not appear to have been put on very well. There are bubbles here are there and the seams had come lose on most of the drums. There also appear to be places where the wrap was never glued at all.
It makes me wonder if the drum has been re-wrapped.
Does anyone know if in 1970 Ludwig was having quality issues with these wraps that they could have done this type of job? Or should I susspect the drum has been rewrapped?
What clues should I look for that would give it away?
Regards,
Randy
