Need feedback on these wrap samples

Posts: 1671 Threads: 667

Before I pull the trigger, I would like some feedback on who you think makes the closest match to Vintage Sling WMP wrap. Jammin Sam has one here

http://www.jamminsam.com/index.php/d...-on-drums.html

Precision has several

the antique looks fake

the vintage wmp looks like a ludwig pattern

the white pearl looks close

drum maker also looks close

appreciate any feedback, I'm doing a vintage RK snare

1st and 3rd links are bad

I found the sites and looked. I see some that look pretty close to the wrap on my late 50s Slingerland kit. I remember seeing a few threads recently on this subject. I tried to search for them, but the search feature is only returning new threads, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I don't think it's working. Maybe you can look at threads from the last couple weeks and find them. Anyway, the antique white pearl on Precision's site looked pretty close.

Good luck!

Slingerland, did you get the samples you mentioned were coming to you about a week ago? How do those look?

I did, but its hard to tell off a 2 x 2 " sample, pops kit looks great!!! I may end up buying 3 pieces and sending back what I dont like, I really need to see a larger sheet before I do this.

2"x2"!!! You would think they give you something about the size of a postcard at least. You can't tell much with a 2"x2" piece.
