Re-Wrapping Drums


Most here have seen the pictures of my Rogers. They are now wearing a botched white marine pearl wrap.

 Somebody wrote that it looks to be a Ludwig pattern. I don't know enough to have an opinion... except that it needs redoing. I'm going to have it done by Precision Drum in Pleasent Valley, NY. They do outstanding work. I feel that the quality of the drum's construction commands a certain amount of respect on my part and I want it done properly. I don't know what the original wrap color was, but I love the White Pearl on stage. It really shows off the instrument. It's all part of the show.
Here are the three White Pearl wraps offered by Precision. I'd like some opinions, please.

This is their plain White Pearl.

This is their Antique Pearl.

This is their Continental Pearl.

I know which one I favor... but I don't know which one is closest to a Rogers period wrap. And... I don't really know if that should matter.

The next thing is the bass hoops... The ones that came mounted on the drum are kinda chewed up and I don't know if they are worth rehabbing. I plan to have Precision just paint a pair of their maple hoops black and apply the pearl inlay. Their's IS a quality product so I don't see any real problem.

The plain white looks close to Rogers pre yellowing. That's the one I like.
