WFL Super Classic - Buddy Rich? Excellent! Last viewed: 15 hours ago

Posts: 207 Threads: 104

Have a WFL Super Classic ('55-'59) with P87, WFL Diamond Butt in excellent condition. Appears unmolested and original except for snare wires (which are ludwig) and heads in reasonable condition. Hardware is all in great condition (could use a light polish). Strainer and Muffler work great. No extra holes or mods.

Im a newbie on this site - Im selling because another drum came along I want to buy. Im admittedly not an expert on vintage drums. This could be a Buddy Rich although I read they must have a P88 Butt which this does not I believe. In blue sparkle. USD 440.00 Im in Guelph area near Toronto Canada. For more pics, pls email -thanks

Sounds incredible. replies to: [email]sheldon.jacobs@ugdsb.on.ca[/email]

CanuckDrumGuy!

True!... to be an EXACT WFL Buddy Rich Classic, the butt has to be the P88, and the hardware has to be chrome. However!, the actual build of the drum is identical otherwise, thus the specimen you have here is most often referred to as the Buddy Rich. Course, WMP also helps! Here are a couple of my 1955 WFL Buddy Rich Classic with chrome and the P88. Good luck with your sale!

JR!

Yes indeed... the price was in the post, but as larryz said... what's the American dollars equivalent? So... 550.00 Canadian is $492.57 American.
