Strictly based on the width of the inlay it might be Ludwig or Slingerland. Gretsch used a wider inlay, not sure about Rogers. Then again it might just as easily be off an import set.

I don't think it's a Slingerland. I own a few 66' & 73', and they have a more rounded bevel edge, these edges are basically flat...thanks

Most U.S. Makes are 1.5" in width...& the inlay would be 1/2"...

It's 1-11/16" wide..the inlay is 9/16 and it has no signs of lifting...glued on.

I'm not sure when they started to do it but most Ludwig hoops on bass drums I've owned have had small staples securing the ends of the inlay strips. They were glued as well but the staples were apparently used as a bit of added security. Ludwigs also had a rounded edge.

So not Ludwig, not Slingerland, not Gretsch.

just as important as the hoop, is the inlay . there are several classes of inlay, roughly divided into American, German, British and Japanese origin and not a lot has been done to statistically categorize them( where's Zenstat when you need him), or even determine who was buying it offshore( Ludwig ,for sure used a certain amount of offshore wrap). The structure, size, thickness of the wrap/inlay would be a very good clue as to origin.

Is it rough on the surface ,or smooth and glossy?

The inlay is not as deep, as my Slingerland, and it has a smooth surface
