Hmmm.... How do we know if that's a real autograph?

There is a Joe Morello signed snare drum floating around CL in Charlotte also. I have to wonder the same.

i'd like to see that. ive got a morello signed item.

I agree with mark that the wfl signature looks like the real deal to me.

i used to work drum shows and namm for my old boss who worked for ludwig, and i seen many people bring things for B2 and B3 to sign thru the years. i even had a ludwig book signed by B2.

lots of drums were signed so its not uncommon.

As a retired NYPD detective,I can tell you that there are some VERY talented forgers out there. I've had cases where ,the victim,couldn't tell the forged signature from his own.If I were in the market for an autographed Item,I'd have to have some form of verifiable provenance with it.But that's just me I guess,mainly because I have first hand experience with.None of us are handwriting experts I expect,we're drummers,which is why we need that provenance.

It does look like signatures that I've seen before,and I suppose some would say,"why forge a signature on the inside of a drum",of someone,few have heard of"?The answer is...why not,and...will that drum bring more at resale than a non signed drum?Isn't there a guy up in Canada ,building phoney Rogers snare drums?
