WFL Super Classic
The same drums, the other badge
Drum kit · United States
Built while Conn held the Ludwig name, WFL kits are Ludwig drums in everything but the badge — same shells, same lugs, same factory, same man. They trade a little below their Ludwig equivalents for no reason a drummer can hear.

Premier Royal Ace
The British professional snare of the 1960s
Percussion · United Kingdom
The Royal Ace was Premier's top wood snare, with a thin shell and the company's own strainer, and it is what a great deal of British beat and rock was recorded on before American drums became easy to buy.
-
Ludwig Super Classic
The four-piece that defined American rock drumming
Drum kit · United States
A 22" bass drum with two toms, in three-ply mahogany and poplar with maple reinforcement rings — thin, resonant shells that are loud without being hard. Along with the Downbeat, this is the kit most 1960s and 1970s American records were made on.

Slingerland Buddy Rich Outfit
The endorsement kit of the big band era's loudest drummer
Drum kit · United States
Slingerland catalogued a Buddy Rich configuration for decades, and the association — like Krupa's before it — did as much for the brand as any shell specification.

Slingerland Artist Model
Three-ply Slingerland snare of the 1960s and 1970s
Percussion · United States
The Artist Model was Slingerland's mainstream professional snare after the solid-shell era: three-ply maple and mahogany with a reinforcement ring, and the company's clam-shell strainer.
