Would like to know what the wrap is actually called. Doesn't look like anything in the catalogs that I have found. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

That is the "Bowling Ball" version of Black Oyster Pearl from the not so great period in Ludwig drum making in the 70's.
No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

It's the Ludwig cosmetics that I'm referring to as not so great...Then, in the late 70's / early 80's the dreadful rivets at the wrap seams made for some really fuggly drums.

Yeah that is post 1970 version of Oyster Black Pearl. Ludwig never changed the swatch they showed in their catalogs but after around mid 1969/early 1970 if you ordered that finish this is what you got. Drum collectors have nicknamed this version of the wrap (and the similarly opaque oyster blue) "bowling ball" for obvious reasons.
