Keith - none that I was able to ascertain. I was looking for piece of starlight sparkle to re-do a faded floor tom in a 59' Ludwig kit I had. Couldn't find that wrap anywhere. That was three years ago. Unless somebody did a run of it in the interim, it's going to be a tough item to find anywhere.

Precision makes computer generated copies of wraps, but it never seems to be quite the same as the original.

That kit is real cool John, Its a burgundy sparkle that had faded to the color of Starlight sparkle? What size is that bass drum?

Oh wait I see 18x20. Never heard of that. Do you know if that was special ordered or was a option in 59?

The 'burgundy sparkle' label was my mistake. I didn't know what else to call it at the time. It -is- starlight sparkle! I wrote to Wm. F. Ludwig III and inquired about this kit. His 'best guess' is, that it was a special order, or presentation kit from the company to one of its endorsees. It's a one-off kit in a finish that was never used in production line drums. The wrap goes into the seams. The 'story' I was told by the guy I bought the kit from (via Music-Go-Round,) was that; the kit was owned by his (University) music teacher who was a retired jazz drummer from the 50's/60's. His teacher was retiring from the University and offered the kit to his oldest student. (The guy I bought them from.)

My ace-coon-boon Mike Layton is the current care-taker of the kit. When I first got them, I 'considered' rewrapping the floor tom which was the only drum in the kit that was faded. I changed my mind the second I found out how rare the kit was. No way I was going to alter it in any fashion.

Let me know if you find any starlight sparkle wrap anywhere! I'll buy a half dozen full-sheets immediately! To start, I'll rewrap my Oaklawn Camco orphans in it!!!!!
