Are these wfl's and are they worth it ?

Posts: 1880 Threads: 292

Some pretty cool stuff lately on my local classifieds and this one seems pretty decent.. Can't tell if they're all WFL, but the floor tom leg brackets say at least the floor tom is ?.. The mount on the stained bass drum says otherwise, with it's obvious later diamond plate tom holder bracket, but i think the faded silver sparkle bass drum may be WFL..

All shells for $350, no badges, no original hoops (only one non Ludwig) lugs missing on one bass drum, but can easily be replaced from the other silver sparkle kick..

I guess one can always find keystone badges on ebay, to finish the kit aesthetically, and i don't mind using non original bass drum hoops, seeing as this would be an obvious player's kit.. Seems like a fun project, and if i did end up picking them up, i would want to transform them into a cool custom player's grade kit, like i had done with my 80's Ludwig set that i restored last year.. I would love to paint and satin lacquer them in a finish like one of these C&C kits.. As always, thoughts greatly appreciated. So are they WFL ?

The drums in the first link would be worth buying at that price.

A big +1 on that, and may I put in a vote for the blue over the green; blue seems a more classic drum shell colour...plus how much I really like the blue a lot.

Unfortunately for me, i have no car and he's a 45 minute highway drive away, so public transport is impossible..Good news is, i know him and he's a cool guy and can tell me everything about the drums..It's tempting, but i got other financial priorities first..Also, he's got a bad habit of not taking down his ads after he's sold them, and i have this feeling they've already been sold, but you never know..If they're still available, i could ask him to hold on to them for me for another couple of weeks, which i think he would do. I guess we'll see how it turns out..

You're just like me !..Blue is my favorite color, and i was leaning towards the blue anyway.. I've just gotta find out if the drums have been sold or not.. Giving him a call tomorrow so we'll find out then ! ;)
