Uriah Heep drummer, Russell Gilbrook, has officially joined the WFL III family.
Here is what he has to say about it:
“I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ve officially joined the WFLIII family as an endorsee! Sound is a key factor in my drumming, and having the right drums is crucial and there’s no better brand to deliver that than one lead by a Ludwig! Partnering with WFLIII means joining a company that doesn’t just make drums – they create drums with a fantastic sound and a deep-rooted history. I couldn’t be more honored to represent the brand and contribute my playing to what Bill [William F. Ludwig III] has built.“
“A huge thank you to B3 and theteam at for the warm welcome to the factory recently and I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Paul McManus, whose efforts made this entire trip possible. Paul is a true driving force in ensuring that drumming continues to thrive, and his support and dedication to the community are second to none. Now let’s bring these incredible drums to life on stage and in the studio! Here’s to the next chapter!“
WFL III Drums is a brand run by William F. Ludwig III. He is the grandson of William Ludwig Senior (the founder of the legendary Ludwig brand) and the son of William F. Ludwig II, who co-managed the company during its golden years in the 1960s and took over after his father’s death in 1973. The brand has remained in the hands of Conn-Selmer for 44 years, and William F. Ludwig III (who worked with Selmer until 1991) founded his own company 11 years ago.
The brand’s endorsees include: Kofi Baker (son of Ginger Baker), John Humprey (Seether), Bobby Torello (Johnny Winter, Michael Bolton), Joe Corsello (Sonny Rollins).
