Rewrap vs. Leaving It Alone Last viewed: 4 minutes ago

Leave it alone. The color won't match and the value will be ruined.

When another one comes along (they always do, sooner or later) grab it.

Ill play. I am guessing the rack tom is the re-wrap. Looks good though.

Looks to me like the rack tom has patina,so i`m thinking the floor tom is the rewrap.Hard to tell tho`-excellent job!!!

wow u got it wayne !

i thought u guys would have got that easily lol !! its the 14 x 14 re wrapped in Bermuda sand (champagne sparkle) from our friends at precision Drum CO.

Wayne its your call ! if you alter the drum the value will go down. point i was trying to make on the wrap is it's close but still not the same.

Here`s two pics of the 9x13 tom in question,hope they come thro`ok.Sounds like most of you are leaning towards"leave it alone/let it be".I`m becoming inclined to think the same as it matches the kit.Please let me know your thoughts guys.

Thanks for posting pictures. What a shame that tom has a crack. :(

Is the wrap loose on either side of the crack (flexible and away from the shell)?

If so, you might be able to get a syringe and some contact cement style glue. Carefully inject some glue under the wrap and use a band type clamp to slowly press the wrap against the shell. To make sure the wrap is not too brittle, it might be good to slightly warm up the shell.

I'd let others chime in on my idea before you implement, but I vote to NOT re-wrap the shell.

as for the trivia game i also guessed the floor tom as rewrap.

those original wraps are so VIVID in color. the new wraps just dont have the same POP....

as for the Cracked Wrap....leave it be. Its not as bad as it could be. ive seen WAY worse.

i probably wouldnt even glue it. its original. its character.

similar in the guitar world. people like the guitars that have Original Petina and have been "unmolested".

Wayne maybe send pics to pro drum guy Jack Layton. He might be able to fix it and or suggest the best route. He's not cheap but well worth the investment to keep the original wrap in tact.
