Black Panther wrap was introduced in 1968 along with the mod wraps.  It first appeared in the 1970 Ludwig catalog and was offered throughout the 70s. It’s really a one of a kind wrap. It has this fake leather look to it and, personally, it reminds me of the old Marshall amplifiers which is why I like it.  It is a thin material that is unlike any other wrap used by Ludwig.  The most famous drummer who used this early on was Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Galaxy Pearl is a very rare finish, as you know, and the prices reflect that when they come up for sale. This finish was only available for a couple of years, so there is a very limited number of these sets out there. The badges on all these drums are pre-serial number Keystones.
