Summary
[edit]| Description |
Ludwig Snare Drum (1964, Chicago) Gold-plated “Super-Sensitive” model with a plaque “Ringo Starr The Beatles”. Presented on the 1st concert in Chicago, 1964-09 - Metropolitan Museum of Art (2010-09-28 14-01-54 raphaelstrada) Snare Drum Made by Ludwig Drum Company, Chicago, 1964 Gold-plated "Super-Sensitive" model Gold, brass, iron, Mylar Lent by Ringo Starr The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show several times in early 1964, dramatically altering American music, popular culture, and musical instrument production and performance. In these historic broadcasts, Ringo Starr played a Ludwig "oyster black pearl" drumset with Ludwig displayed on the head of the bass drum. At the time, the Ludwig name usually did not appear so prominently, but Ringo insisted that it be painted there because he was proud to be playing a drumset made by such a famous American firm. Ludwig experienced an enormous surge in sales and began twenty-four-hour-a-day production. To thank Ringo for using their instruments, the company president, William F. Ludwig Jr., ordered a special gold-plated presentation drum bearing a plaque that reads Ringo Starr, The Beatles. He presented it to Ringo when the Fab Four made their first concert appearance in Chicago, in September 1964, saying: I have never known a drummer more widely acclaimed and publicized than you, Ringo Starr. Your millions of fans throughout the world have honored you and the other members of the famous Beatles by their overwhelming acceptance of your recordings, movies, and concert appearances. On behalf of the management and employees of the Ludwig Drum Company, I would like to express our appreciation to you for choosing our instruments and for the major role you are playing in the music world today. Ringo has owned the instrument ever since, and it had become an iconic piece representing the highest-end presentation drum made by the most important manufacturer of the twentieth century for one of the most influential drummers of all time. |
