Hey y'all! new here...Werco drum ?... - Page 1

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

Hey everybody! I've been playing a 1967 ludwig set for 15 yrs and have just been given a forgotten set of WERCO drums. I'm going to attempt to refinish them but wanted to see if I could find out about them first. Judging only by the shape they"re in the old Remo heads, I would GUESS they're a bit old. Any suggestions on how to find out the age (there is some kind of serial number.....but it's hand written so i don't know if it's a phone number or a serial number :) ....) happy drumming.

Welcome!

Please post some pix in the "Non-USA " section and we will attempt to get the info to you. Werco are a "stencil" kit, built by Pearl or Star, don't know which until I see the drums. They are Japanese knock-offs and some of them can actually be made to sound quite good. As for refinishing, I would advise against a high dollar solution as you likely will never recoup the cost of say a re-wrap in todays wraps, unless you found something on sale for REALLY cheap. Old MIJ kits usually don't command big returns unless they have a really unusual wrap color and are in pristine condition.
