BDP Drum Wrap Help

Posts: 45 Threads: 17

I own a 65' Slingerland Gene Krupa in BDP and am looking for wrap to match it.

http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/finishes/slingerland/1963_slingerland_finishes_large.jpg

That matches the drum finish to my eyes, but I can't seem to find any wraps that look similar, they all seem to be lighter.

Any ideas?

I had the same problem to patch up my Ludwig bass drum.

A perfect match will be hard to accomplish,...

Good afternoon, Liatnor!

About three years ago, I encountered the same problem while attempting to match the original BDP on my old Supremes (a stencil of Star).The original wrap was a ripped and bubbled mess. The gentleman who was doing the re-wrap ordered a sample from Precision but, the pattern was off in size and the colour was too dark. We eventually settled on Grey Diamond Pearl which seemed to be the closest. The drums were wrapped and look great! Remember though, these were Stars and the company version of BDP was probably different. I'm just hoping this helps a bit.
