Looking through Ludwig's current catalog and drooling at a new Legacy Classic in white marine pearl wrap and was wondering if, after spending $3,000 or so for this, would one still expect the wrap to go yellow over time (like the wraps of the 50s/60s)?

Unless they have some kind of new UV protection technology in the plastic I guess they would. You'll just have to wait 30-40 years.

As ALL I play/own is WMP for wrapped drums, both vintage and a couple "modern" ... I can tell you that VM2000 is absolutely CORRECT! NO FADE.. SHRINK.. SPLITS... with the "new" WMP offered today. Buy and ENJOY with confidence!
