Sam and staff:, I recently acquired a three piece Leedy kit (14x22, 16x16, 9x13).
All three drums are stamped inside the shells with September, 1961 dates.
The original wrap (champagne sparkle) was very faded, cracked, and peeling in many places.
[Much of the original hardware was missing.] I plugged a few extra holes on
the bass drum shell, installed a rail consolette using the original holes and proper bass drum hoops.
I'm searching for proper T-rods for the bass drum. I have a snare drum
on it's way to me, to go with this set, and will wrap it to match. This was my first re-wrap project. Sam made it easy with his online video
and printed instructions. I was skeptical of the tape installation
method, but I became a believer after wrapping the first drum. Thanks to Jammin Sam,
Howie Friedman

Hi Sam, Just finished my mid 70's 5 ply Slingerlands using green sparkle.
WOW ! Are they gorgeous! Ever since I was a kid learning to play in the 60's I've wanted a green sparkle kit.
Kit is 14x22, 16x16, 9x13, 8x12 and my old 3 ply chrome-o-wood snare with the TDR
strainer. Installation was a breeze. There is no "choking" at all of the drums using the tape method. This was SO much easier than
using contact cement (like I did with my Gretsch kit). Great product and great service. Thanks for everything!

Slingerland drum set. Great recovery job Mike!
Mike writes:
I just got my kit finished with your help. This was the first kit I
had ever tried to recover. I was a bit leery at first about using
the tape method as opposed the the glue method. First off, the color
looks great. The pre-cut pieces fit perfectly and were all labeled
to help out as well. I've included a few pics on the finished
project . . . it's a mid 70s set of Slingerlands in 9x13, 16x16, 16x18 &
14x22. I have a matching snare as well that is an original
wrap. I think they match pretty well . . . Thanks again for the
help. I can't wait to do another kit.
We would like to feature your drums with our wrap here.
