I have a friend who wanted to rewrap a used set of vintage Slingerlands himself with period correct wrap. The Slingerland factory used to be located in our town so he swung by their repair department to see if they could help him out. They hooked him up with the exact wrap he was after. It may be a long shot, but you may consider contacting the repair crew at Slingerland.
Actually I don't want to pay a lot. I'm doing something different and going cheap for this one. I'm tired of myself so I'm doing the "opposite George" thing with this kit. Small, shallow, wrapped, inexpensive drums.
I already pulled the trigger on the Yamaha Gigmaker. 400 bucks free shipping. If I like them, I'll be using them for the foreseeable future. It's 10, 12, 14 20 w/ a snare. You can't beat the price for a new set of drums.
I definitely have to sell some stuff now. Too many sets. My 66 Luds have another move in their future.
Thanks anyway Ian...yea power tom sizes would subtract one of the best reasons for the switch to a smaller bass drum, namely lower rack toms.

I am curious about this comment. Are your 70's Lud's 3 ply or 6 ply? (either way they are great drums) Why didn't you just fix the edges and update to the New Atlas Mount based hardware options?I don't want to gig 70's Luds, they're out. I don't like the hardware and the edges aren't even enough for my needs
Well if money is no issue you could always have a Sonor SQ2 bass drum built for you the size, finish and shell you want it in!
Well you work fast.
Funny Larry, I read/hear lots about your drums/snare 'adventures'...but what cymbals do you play? I have no idea.

They will have to pry my 60's Ludwig kit from my cold dead hands. I love my 14"x20" 3 ply BD. As you know I am using New Atlas Mount hardware on my Lud's for high tom mounting and bass drum spurs. My bass drum is virgin. I put my toms to the left on a stand.
I am also curious to see what you have in mind for your 60's Lud's.
I looked into this recently as also I wanted a shallower 20" bass drum, but spending over $2,000 on just a bass drum is a bit to steep for me.
I really don't understand why there are so few options for a bass drum in 20" and even fewer in 14-16" depths. Even Sonor only makes a 20x18 (outside of SQ2), and yet they offer an 18x14, a 22x15 and a 24x14 bass drum for Prolites. It makes no sense.
It's like drum makers are totally missing this market. It confuses me to no end.
60's Luds are 1966 3 ply champagne sparkle w/ 22" kick in beautiful shape. I'm selling these.
