a) try to find a bass in the same wrap (not easy)
b) buy a nice bass drum and re wrap it.

I got a nice deal on the shells I bought but I can see the final costs

b or c, whichever is cheaper (probably b). check out drummaker.com; they
have some pretty sweet prices there. but I wouldn't buy "a nice bass
drum"; I'd buy a nice bass drum *shell*, just like the ones that you
have.
you also might be able to get a similarly good deal on a keller shell
via eBay, then just wrap it.

Thanks Joe, I can see the sense in that solution but I am a bit scared of
making a really expensive mess of the wrapping process..

The better deal would be from Precision in this case because they will cut
to fit and include precut bass drum hoop strips. Drummaker.com sells in half
and full sheets only. Either way, I am a dealer for both Precision and
Drummaker and sell at their prices, and below their price on some items.

Who says the bass drum color has to match?
Cars look nice in two tone combinations, same with apartment walls and even
your windows background.
Just find a bass drum using the same color scale or pattern and leave it
that way.
