(7″x 4.5″ scan of actual finish) Click image to see finish on drums.Our “black pearl” pattern (lighter and grayer than the first scan on this page) has been used by drum manufactures from the 1980’s until present, while the “Black Diamond Pearl (Old)” (the first wrap scan on this page) tends to match drums from the 1970’s and before- both ‘patterns’ are identical.
“Black Diamond Pearl” has been available since the 1940’s (Slingerland catalog) and after that from Ludwig, Gretsch (called “Black Pearl” by Gretsch), Rogers, and just about every major (and not so major) drum company.
Both of our finishes are made from the same US factory that supplied all the companies listed above. Our material is made 30 mil thick (30/1000 of an inch), which makes the finish more durable, longer lasting, and better looking (no ripple effect). Also, the finishes of the past had a “shrinkage factor” of 5% (or more), causing some finishes to eventually split, and/or cause the seam to pull away. We have both black pearls made so they do not shrink- none of the finishes we sell shrink.
We are proud to offer these custom cut drum wrap products for your enjoyment. The vintage appearance (hue of the original color) of our “Black Diamond Pearl” is only available through us.
