so I recently got the Ludwig educator kit. figure i'll never find a matching snare for it. my educator kit is all 4 ply. most of Ludwigs chrome wrapped rockers snares were also 4 ply. some had granitone interior. but some have clear maple interiors like my kit. ran across one in 6.5 depth with maple interior in which someone had already taken the chrome wrap off of. spent some time this weekend and refinished it. the drum itself was a whole whopping 39 dollars! I decided to finish the exterior in maple to match the interior of the shells which I think look great. it also matches the maple finished bass drum hoops. kinda ties it all together. I bought a loose educator badge on the forum a few years ago. I used it on the drum. will make some kinda label to go inside to denote it as custom deal or something along those lines. I think it turned out nice. the drum had all it's parts which always makes it nice. I did add some Ludwig wires.
