Could it be from the days when you could have any custom finish on your drums. I remember the old ad with the Coke set. It's so subtle though...cannot imagine paying an upcharge for that.

It looks like wall paper from a tiki bar kind of.

That's a mid 70s factory wrap called White Aztec.

Yep Aztec. A couple of members here have sets in that pattern.

1976 catalog shows the different colors.

When I first saw that in a catalog, I thought it might be the ugliest thing I have seen. Sorry to step on toes if you like it, no offense intended.

Evidently that was the thoughts of the buying public back in the day as these aztec wrap did not sell well.

I'd play them and get a leisure suit to match the pattern!

I had a Brown Aztec kit once. The wrap is like a fabric or thick wall paper. I liked it.
