Hi guys, I bought a blue sparkle Niles gold/black badge Slingerland
this past week but noticed something somewhat odd under 2 of the drums wraps.
Little bumps, 1 each, under the wrap on the kick bump under the floor tom wrap.
Started to think it might be a re-wrap.
So my question is, what's an easy way to find out if your vintage drum is a re-wrap or not?
Badge grommets look flawless.
The blue sparkle wrap itself is in very good condition, granted the seller told me it was his grandpa's kit bought in '65 or so and stored nicely since but I think the wrap has naturally faded, seems rather dark.
Kit originally had a consolette rail, looks professionaly drilled for a Ludwig mount from the late 60's early 70's but they added the Ludwig tom mount in a way that shows the Slingerland clip mount facing out to the audience.
Other than that this kit is pretty sweet, just a players kit with the mod but a extremely nice players! :)
Pictures below contain other items that were purchased with this kit:
