Just in time for Christmas! This is a 55-57 badge WFL 6.5x14 8 lug model in Red Flash (red sparkle,sparkling red pearl). The '55 and '57 catalogs call these "Contest Model Concert Drums". These are more commonly known from the 60's as "Auditorium" Models. They are essentially the same as a Jazz Festival but in a 6.5 depth. This one looks and sounds amazing. These are 3 ply Mahogany/Poplar/Mahogany shells with maple re-rings and natural interior finish. The wrap is very vivid with absolutely zero fade. Wonderful to find a drum this old in such nice shape. There is one panel that has a light scuff mark on it and that's it. Hoops are nickel over brass with drop gates on the snare side. This drum is completely original with the exception of the new heads and snare cords that I installed. It has the original amber tip 12 strand wires. Has the WFL P83 strainer and WFL logo snare butt. New heads are a Remo coated ambassador up top and a Remo hazy ambassador on the snare side. Drums from this era have nice deep snare beds and a beautiful vintage sound. Drum has been completely detailed and needs nothing. The nickel hardware would polish up even better if you chose to do so. Pictures don't do it justice. Please pm me here or email to [email][email protected][/email] if you have any questions. Thanks for checking it out.
