Here is a NICE Rogers shell mount cymbal holder that will fit existing holes.

So when you're ready to spend the money, the parts are out there (on a good day).flower

Thanks guys for all the info. No one for sure knows the year???. Anyways the black paint inside. Its not original. Should I sand it down or leave it

also should I spray paint the hoobs. I have both hoops. One is missing the gold sparkle strip on it. Any one thats good a restoring let me know some tips

Here is a picture of hoops I did this week. Sanded down lightly, masked inlay with masking tape, then 2 coats paint and topped with a spray on gloss coat. Lay flat to paint, then flip over and spray again.baby crawl2

*Remember that your finish is champagne sparkle(ala NORM's earlier post)which is not ALL gold, but a mix of 2 sparkles. You might want to re-wrap both hoops so they match. If not, sand both hoops, mask hoop that has the inlay, then paint. Just make sure paint job is clean so you can just pop on inlay when you get it.

Inside of drum, honestly, I'd just leave it alone. It's really not worth A LOT of work because it won't show if you stay with coated heads. DO NOT get radical with a belt sander. Resist the urge. I'd spend bulk of your time worrying about the outer appearance. As far as the year goes 1969-72 is about as close as I can guess without the badge.:confused:

Do I need to buy a whole sheet of wrap. Or can I get a smaller amount to do just the hoops

hey man, i have a ludwig bowling ball blue set i am rebuilding and my bass is the exact same as your's. the spure mount, the tom mount and ten lug and everything. same sizes and all. my bass is not painted black,or white, but there is a date on one of my toms, may 6, 1970 so i am guessing yours is about an early seventy's if you want i'll post some pics

I'd recommend ordering what you need pre-cut. keep it simple if you are new to this. JamminSam discontinued Champagne so try Precision Drum Company.

They can give you more pointers about installing wrap, but your project is as easy as it gets if you have the $ to spend. :2Cents:

why do you want to re wrap it?

Thanks for all the input. I will check around. Im going to leave the original wrap on the drum it self. Also The wrap is lifting were ther seem is. What glue should I use to hold it down

Gary at Precision will sell U the CONTACT CEMENT that can fix lifting seams and install new wrap. Here is a before/after drum that I repaired using it.Excited These Bowling Balls are high maintenance, but I love 'em even more now!
