Help in wrap ID of 1966 13" Ludwig Tom

Posts: 234 Threads: 58

Hi there,

I recently added this beautiful 13" Ludwig tom #286570 to my collection. It is in beautiful all original condition, white interior, mahogany poplar mahogany, with baseball bat muffler (white) and beautiful fat rounded bearing edges - the drum is really in near mint condition. Can someone please however help me ID the wrap. I thought that it could be black oyster pearl, but it does appear to have a greenish tinge to it. What do you guys think?

Also, in order to bring the best of the 60's out of this drum, which heads would you guys suggest I fit?

Thanks and Regards

Erik

It is

the greenish tinge is aged clear coat that’s oxidizing

Gary nice score

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

It appears to be faded oyster black.
