I was watching The Tonight Show last night and Questlove was playing a Ludwig kit that appeared to have the vintage Psychedelic Red wrap on it. The kit appeared to be new but in looking on the Ludwig web portal I could not find any of the drum kit lines with the vintage wrap available. I looked at the Element SE snare I have and the "new" Psychedelic Red isn't quite like the old wrap. Was wondering if anyone's eagle eye could give some insight. I like the vintage psychedelic wraps better than the new line. Here's the best I could do with some screen shots.

Supposedly, it's a work in progress wrap that Ludwig is working on...something along those lines. I read some feedback that this was discussed at NAMM 2017.
No green in Questlove's wrap? Maybe custom made wrap just for him?

Yeah, There's a pretty long thread about this wrap over at the DFO site. Someone asked Ludwig at NAMM about it and was told it's a wrap they are still fine tuning.
Hi guys!
Not an eagle, but not a mole!! with my best glasses and zoom help, looks like the badge on the floor tom is a brand new Selmer Brass type.
note of editor: Seems like Mr. Questlove is the new "spoiled" member of Ludwig communitie.
All due respect, thousands miles away from Ring & Bonzo, but...
