The Satins came on the scene in the late 1960s. The
Ludwig drum company, in their 1969 catalog, offered
the Satins (white,
red,
blue, gold and charcoal), calling
them "Astros". However, the company decided to
drop all of them by the printing of their 1971 catalog.
The Slingerland drum company offered five colors
in their 1966 catalog (white, red, blue, gold,
green), then later
added tangerine and lavender in their 1969 catalog calling them
"Satin Flame Pearl". However, Slingerland dropped
all the Satin finishes sometime in the 1970s. The Camco
drum company made them available on their drums in the early
70s (red, blue, gold, purple,
charcoal and aqua) calling
them "Moire", but dropped them by 1975. In the
Rogers drum company catalogs we have, no Satin Flames finishes
where listed as being available (none listed in 1967 or 1973
catalogs). Gretsch offered them in 1971 (aqua, gold,
moonglow, and peacock)
calling them "Flames", but also later dropped
before the decade was out.
Even today, to our knowledge, none of these finishes are offered by
any of the major drum companies in their standard color
list. Even though, and even after more than 30 years, they
have not been forgotten. Today, they are very popular
and purchased by many individuals for their drums. They are
considered inexpensive (costing less than
pearls,
sparkles, and
glass glitters),
and have the greatest visual effect of any wrap. We
purchase our Satin Flame finishes from the very same manufacturer
that the above drum companies used in the 1960s and 70s.
Also, some of the Satin Flame finishes we sell have more scratch
resistance properties than the finishes available in the past.
If you wanted to be noticed in any crowd, and have a piece of
nostalgia to boot, than you too, may want to seriously consider
one of our spectacular, 3-D looking, Satin Flame finishes.
