WFL or Ludwig 12x22 Bass Drum Shell with Hoops Last viewed: 22 hours ago

Loading...

This is a 12x22 BD shell with hoops. I'm thinking that this was a WFL shell based on the mahogany interior and the style of spurs that it was drilled for. I'm not sure if the wrap is original or a rewrap. I don't think I've seen a gloss black this old. Also, I don't see the wrap going into the scarf joint. But if it was a rewrap, they did a great job. There are some scratches on the wrap, but nothing too serious. The shell is in round and the bearing edges are in decent condition as well. There are no extra holes that I can find. It's drilled for a rail mount and 20 classic lugs. There is no date stamp that I could find, just "12x22" written in pencil, and an "S".

The hoops need some restoration. One hoop is missing about half of the inlay, the inlay on the other is loose. They could use some new paint as well. There are no cracks that I can find or gouges that are too bad. I included a picture of the worst area. I did not strip this shell, I got it awhile back with the intention to rebuild it.

I'd like $120 plus shipping, or you can pick them up in Schaumburg, IL. Please PM me with any questions.

I decided to hang on to this shell, but the hoops are still for sale for $60 plus shipping. I would also trade them for a pair of natural maple 22" hoops (vintage or new).
