'49 WFL 3X13 Buddy Rich Be-Bop model snare drum

Here is the WFL before the restoration process. The drum was very yellow and required a drum wrap lightening. The only other problem was an incorrect tone control that was replaced with an original WFL tone arm that was on the drum for the era it was produced. Interior cleaning and all chrome components interior and exterior were cleaned and polished. After some lubrication to the mechanical parts the drum is now in pristine condition and ready to play. If you are interested in this type of service for your drum please contact Tommy P.
