so if i was to say what is the rarest color what would you guys say oyster black pearl, pink champagne, bdp, wmp, oyster blue pearl, the psychedelics, the satin swirls, some pearls green, red, blue, gold, or the natural /painted finishes,, it would be cool to know what the take on this ....

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.

How about the original sparkle wraps from the 20s that were made from sand?

I hardly ever come across Slingerland's yellow tiger pearl when checking out the usualy places online. I am a big fan of this particular wrap.

Also, Ludwig TopHat&Cane seems to be "known" as a pretty rare wrap.

Of the, "non-hideous" wraps (LOL), my vote goes to pink champagne. A well kept pink champagne kit just looks so badass. It's almost the reverse of what the name implies.

The funny thing is that the "rare" wraps are rare because nobody liked them when they were being sold, so they didn't make as many of them! Now, 50 years later, some of the same guys who passed right over them love them and are collecting them! The irony of this is hillarious to me. Some of you guys, in your golden drumming years, created your own market and didn't even know you were doing it!Laughing H I guess the same could be applied to many different niche items though........

have a wonderful evening

Leedy autograph of the stars.

I never even heard of that one. Of course after a quick google, Steve Maxwell had an example of it in the flesh! It is a pretty cool idea for a drum wrap!

Besides this photo, I've only seen it on two trashed concert toms and on other two, in it's blue version. Never on a full set and/or in person. I don't even think it's so pretty, but it's rare as ***.
