I must have missed the boat on your restoration, how did ya' get the old wrap out of the lap joint in the shell?

I have a '64 that I would like to put back to original ( the originallity value is already gone as it has modular mounting hardware) and I always figured rewrap was out of the question.

Only the floor tom had the lap joint in the shell. It's quite impossible I believe to remove the wrap in the shell without jeopardizing the woodwork. I made a clean cut where the wrap enters the shell and sanded it. When I re-wrapped it, I started at the wood-joint and gave it an overlap of about an inch.

I didn't make pictures during the process but if it would interest you, I can send you some of the finished product.

The bass, 12" tom and snare came as Duco so no lap joints to worry about.

The issue here was the diameter. i didn't realize that Duco's are wider and the extra thickness of the wrap would prevent the heads form sliding on.

When I re-wrapped them, I stayed about 1/3 of an inch from the edge,... worked out very well.

yeah I figured you'd have to cut away the wrap, I also have a Leedy duco that I thought about recovering but was warned about the fit. anyway I think your pics gave me the kick in the pants to get back to my clubdate.

Intead of getting anothe project drumset maybe it's time I finnished my FIRST one.

by the way it's I belive a 64 clubdate in silversparkle 12/14/20 came with an no serial supra 5x14. I have the original consolette a stripped tom bracket, two sets of spring clip ft leg brackets but only one spring and lever. came with a speedking, a grocery bag of tensionrods brackets and stuff and a "spare" rogers script cob powertone snare, which I traded away years ago. got it all for 40.00 from my highschool when I was 16. the school district receipt said "old broken drums"

my highschool actually discontinued their music program the year I started there, all the woodwind and brass instruments were given to the other schools other than a couple of beatup Souzaphones, but they left all the drum stuff, oh and an upright bass, and a Rhodes keyboard, coulda had a wicked jazz band.

EXCELLENT job kiddo!! That green sparkle is a nice color for a Club date.

Be proud of your job, its terriffic.

LOVE those cases!! Oh and the set is beautiful!

Hey Clubdate64...not so sure the the Club Date outfit ever came with a Supra (feel free to correct me otherwise, fellas). From what I can tell in the Ludwig book by Rob Cook, it should have come with a 5x14 matching wood snare from 59-65 and then an Acrolite sometime in 66. I know everything coming out of the factory in those days could have been mixed/matched or special ordered, but just some food for thought. But if you have a non-serial Supra...sweet!

BTW...awesome job on the resto, Stedi!

Beautiful, congratulations!

Yeah everything points to the snare not matching the kit, the snare is pre serial and the kit is from 1964. when I got it I figured the snare went with the kit because it was the only "ludwig" left behind, there was a couple of WFL 12x15 gold sparkles, a Continental 5x14, a cb700 5.5x14 and a Rodgers powertone which was part of a holiday kit 12/16/20 in bdp (they would'nt sell me the Rogers set)

anyway, one of the first clubdate sets I had ever seen was a silver sparkle with nickle hardware (mine is chrome) and it had a pioneer.

very nice, and the wallpaper too!

Beautiful job. I bet they sound great too. and those cases...really cool.
