There are a few variations of the WFL badge. You can usually date them according to the badge. Check vintage drum guide. Late 50's they switched to the transition badge for a couple of years before going to the keystone badge. If it's WFL it's 58 or earlier.
I've found that a spray bottle filled with 1part white vinegar, 1part Windex, and on part warm water with a little dish soap does wonders to clean and bring back a drum and it's wrap (overall cleaning, with soft towel). Follow up with automotive spray on/ wipe off wax and drum shines. (A poor man's resto, tightening and greasing assumed 😉). Love the video.
Love that drum...thank you for the review and amazing chops showcasing it.

Sometimes a bit of "age" shining through adds a bit of mystique and history to the drum....mojo if you will.
Thanks Daniel
That ride cymbal is erotic.
Nice Rick! 👍👍
