What WFL Snare is this?

Loading...

I have a WFL snare that was my fathers. So it has been in my family since before I was born. I thought it was a Barrett deems model but it is 5 inches deep. This makes it jazz festival size so I’m happy with the dimensions! It has been rewrapoed by the way, by me when I was 13, I’m 50 now... I love this drum due its sentimental value and its sound which is superb. Any ideas what model it is?

Great looking snare and a very nice job on the rewrapping, especially for a 13 year old! Without knowing how how many lugs I would venture to say either pioneer (6 lugs) or jazz fest (8 lugs). They were common with that type of throw

I am sure Mr Layton and other Ludwig gurus will chime in.

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection
58 WFL New Yorker Blue Sparkle
67 Ludwig Hollywood Red Psychedelic
69 Ludwig Standard Red Ruby Strata
70's Ludwig BOP "Ringo" Kit

A few of my favorite snares
20's Leedy Black Elite
51 Leedy & Ludwig Knob Tension
58 WFL Buddy Rich Classic Blue Sparkle
63 Walberg & Auge Sea Blue Agave Green Pearl
66 Leedy Shelly Manne Blue Agate Pearl

Thanks for the compliment Mike. The snare means a lot to me. It is 8 lug so the same as a jazz fest in spec at least.
