Ringo's Luddwig Set Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 140 Threads: 36

Hi all,

Just seen this advertising an auction of Ringo Star / Beatles items in December.

Any guesses what his set will sell for, and more importantly, who will get it?

My guess is someone from Japan or USA.

I'm guestimating over $1 million.

It would be nice if it came back to the uk, but, I very much doubt it.

Lets all watch this space so to speak.

This will go for big bucks - I also like the look of his Hal-Blain inspired Octoplus toms but I suspect that there is absolutely masses of really interesting memorabilia in those storage units. Ringo has spent a lifetime around some of the most famous and influential musos in the business and the kind of gifts that they used to give and receive. I bet it's like an Aladdin's cave!

1957 6 1/2" x15" Slingerland WMP Concert King
1938 8"x15" Leedy Broadway Standard
1947-53 14x6.5" NOB Ludwig & Ludwig Universal
...plus a bunch of mismatched Slingerlands that collectively make a pleasing noise.

Hopefully an actual drummer will buy it. C'mon guys, don't you all have a spare million or so?

If I did, I wouldn't spend it on the OBP set pictured on the site, because those just ain't Ringo's drums...

I suspect that the real set will be available for close inspection by actual, qualified bidders. Will Ringo's kit end up in the hands of a drummer? I think so. I hope so. There's a lot of rich rock stars out there with deep pockets, but I think there's only one who deserves, and would truly appreciate this iconic piece of Ludwig and Beatles history... BEC!

1- Go to the market to pick up some groceries..

2- Pick up dry cleaning

3- Go buy realistic looking toy gun

4- Go to my bank and rob the place of about 1 million , just to be safe..

5- Then begin my bidding..:D

I just wish somebody, for once, would not mention Ringo when selling an OBP kit. Just once. Sheesh...
