All W&A drums in the Perfection era were hand signed & dated, in pencil by Robert G. Benoit. He passed away in the early 80's i believe ( i:m not positive when ). I think it's amazing that one man hand built each drum & signed it before leaving the Worcester or Auburn plant.

I have W&A's with '69, '71, & '73 dates. I am planning on picking up a set of '72's this weekend.

Thanks for that info. I have three W&A drum sets, and could never find out any info about the RGB who signed and dated the shells of my beloved drums. Where did you find the info? I'd like to read everything available from that source or those sources.
