I'm looking for a piece of Gretsch Red Sparkle wrap for a Gretsch 1964 model x4105 snare drum.

I want to trade for some Gretsch parts I have.

I need a piece at least 6x46" that's in excellant condition.

PM me if interested.

I would try Precision Drum Company, their wraps (sparkle, glass and glitter) are extremely close to the originals for the majority of the vintage drum companies wraps. I have never been disappointed

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection
58 WFL New Yorker Blue Sparkle
67 Ludwig Hollywood Red Psychedelic
69 Ludwig Standard Red Ruby Strata
70's Ludwig BOP "Ringo" Kit

A few of my favorite snares
20's Leedy Black Elite
51 Leedy & Ludwig Knob Tension
58 WFL Buddy Rich Classic Blue Sparkle
63 Walberg & Auge Sea Blue Agave Green Pearl
66 Leedy Shelly Manne Blue Agate Pearl

All the sparkle wraps pretty much came from the same supplier...Delmar! Precision gets their wrap from Delmar!

Also, keep in mind that any batch, of any color, can be just a bit different. Still, for the most part, the "standard" sparkle finishes (silver, red, blue, green and gold to a lesser degree) tend to be the same decade after decade!
