1950s WFL / Ludwig 'Banded Pearl' (Salesman Sample) Buddy Rich Bebop Snare Drum : 3 x 13

1950 WFL / Ludwig Buddy Rich Bebop Snare Drum

Size : 3 x 13

Finish : Banded Pearl / Salesman Sample

These drums were listed as "Banded Pearl" finish while the larger marching snares were listing as "Salesman" snare drums. It was these drums that included all 7 cataloged finishes, which was made available to dealers to order. As most of us know, Ludwig reissued this finish recently under the title of "Salesman" which lead to the confusion of the technical title of the finish.

The drum is in phenomenal condition. A photo with all of the hardware pulled from the shell is include to show there there is nearly zero fade from under the lugs. It seems the only band that has begin to fade is the green, which is very typical of this color. All of the hardware is original to the drum and cleaned up to nearly factory condition.
