Is this wrap OBP or bowling ball or are they the same? The drum in the pic is an early 70's bass drum. The pattern seems a bit different from the OBP's that I have seen on this site.

Shaun has this been re wrapped? it looks more like the black oyster from the 90's?

Who's Shaun?
I am trying to figure out if this is a re-wrapp myself. I am considering purchasing this kit but based on the pic the pattern seems odd to me. The seller says he bought it used and he himself has never re-wrapped it.

I havn't seen the drums in person yet. If it is determined that the wrap isn't era correct I'm not going to bother.
Here are more pics.
I noticed that set on my local CL. Looks nice in that wrap. :)
just found my 70's color swatches it matches bowling ball swatch.
So BOP and Bowling Ball are two differen't colors.
Thanks for the info.
The 70's BOP is refered as the "bowling ball" wrap.
My first kit, 1983 Ludwig Rocker? (it has the classic lugs and 4ply maple shell) 22,12,13,16 ..now in black oyster pearl. I still have it
Stop Sign USA Gretsch (80's), black nitron jasper shell 22,12,13,16
1995 Fibes Austin,Texas Badge (original owner) 22,10,12,16,18 in natural wood
USA 2007 Rosewood Gretsch 22,13,16 w/12inch 70's Rosewood Gretsch tom
I aint quite sure about about the 18" and the 12" but the rest of the kit looks original to me.
The thing is
pics dont do justice to this wrap,
Very beautyfull, with the blueish cloud in between the white and black sort of stripes.
All that in deeep 3D .
I know it's sadly reffered as bowling ball but IMHO the BOP second generation has nothing to do with bowling balls, when in your face.
Just took this pic
the 18" is from 1976, and the 16" on the right is from 1969,70
both of them are original and... different from the Ringo's BOP.
Hope this help
