1948-52 WFL Aqua Sparkle

Posts: 586 Threads: 22

WFL Blue (Aqua) Sparkle

9x13 Tom

16x16 Floor Tom

12x22 New Yorker Style bass

5x14 Transition Badge Chrome over Brass Super Ludwig snare

Purchased bass and floor tom at an estate sale, purchased tom from drumforum.org member to replace circa 1965 blue (not aqua) 9x13 tom that came with it. Added Super Ludwig Chrome over Brass snare to complete the ensemble.

Overall in nice shape, although it had been drilled for rail mount for the mounted tom, so has four extra holes.

Why is the bass drum turned around to the batter side?

I was low on 22" heads, so I just grabbed what I could to put the set together once I cleaned it. I will get a suitable resonant side head soon.
