This 69 luddy 5 piece i got had already been rewrapped in ugly yellow.
I rewrapped them in pretty yellow(Citris Mod) wrap. Words cant tell you how i felt when i got them wrapped and the snare put together. The whole thing is pretty dam exhilarating!! to say the least. You know you can make it a business out of it, and I gareentee that will take all the fun out of it.
Then the drums are dollar signs instead of a passion! So just leave all the rewrapping to us that are passionate about drums. Soap Box
I'm sort of surprised that the OP hasnt changed his opinion after reading these many posts. The community here has been trying to tell him that rewrapped drums have no value to the drum collector and very limited value to the drum player. Thats just the way it is.Anybody who buys a vintage set wants to know he/she can sell it at some point later and get most of their money back. A rewrapped set isnt going to have that resale value, period. Drum stores wont even buy them. On top of all that, in 30 years of playing, collecting, and restoring, I've only seen a few sets where the ONLY choice was to rewrap. Most cracks, splits, etc in wraps can be repaired if you know what you are doing. You are always better off doing that from a resale view.
