5 x 14 Maple - Blue Pearl

This wrap was another "out of print" wrap that I'd purchased from Precision Drum - a great blue pearl. The shell is a 5 x 14 8 ply maple from Twin Cities Percussion (impressed with the quality of their shells). New Beavertail style lugs from Drum Factory Direct, ditto for the strainer. For now I've put a set of black nickel hoops on to see how they look, but will likely switch them out for chrome hoops. Generic wires. Still need to put the badge on it but I wanted to get some pictures up ... (PS the badge is on now ...)











Also have some recent acquisitions I need to get pictures taken of and put up - a 5 x 14 Slingerland Gene Krupa COB; 8 x 14 Pearl maple with "supersensitive" type throw (80's); and a very cool RoyalStar 5 x 14 steel snare with "supersensitive" type strainer system, looks to be a predecessor to the Tama King Beats.
