I use to own this Ludwig and Slingerland. My friend who I traded to asked if I would take both kits plus this Liberty kick for my wmp WFL.
The Ludwig is a pre-serial number 13,22 the 16 is an 80's Ludwig that was re-finished to match. The Slingerland is a 12,14,20, the 14,20 were re-wrapped. The Liberty is a 12x26 kick.
My WFL is pretty much all original and in great condition, just missing the splash cymbal mount and correct kick hoops. I'd just like opinions. Thanks.
That's tough. Depending on your drumming needs and the space available to store/play in would probably be the deciding factor, for me at least. The other kits offered are cool, but they aren't matched like the WFL.
You have a WFL kit with the 3-ply mahogany shells, some of the best sounding shells ever, in my opinion. I own a '58 WFL kit myself, and I wouldn't think of selling or trading it.. They just sound too damn good.
If it was me, I'd hang onto the WFL kit.
Good luck on whatever you decide though.
I agree with Brewkowski's assessment!

Ya, I thought of that, but the Ludwig 13,22 are also 3ply mahogany shells and having owned both kits, I know they sound great. I have the space in my storage unit and I'm digging that 12x26 Liberty kick.
Me?
I'd keep the WFL and buy the 26" Liberty kick.
Brewkowski is right, keep the WFL. The Slingerlands are desirable sizes but they appear mismatched (50's BD and 60's tom) and the re-wrap kills them.
Gotta to love the music grade mahogany shells , that are now endangered ! hold on to them boys , they will cost a pretty penny one day , sooner than you think....gary
I've decided to keep them, you guys really helped me in making the right decision, thanks.Bowing

Good to hear!
Kits come and kits go.. but WFL's are forever guitar3
I just couldn't endorse trading a matched WFL kit like that for two mis-matched sets. Granted, that 26" bass drum is pretty darn cool... but overall, I think you have more value in your current kit.
