From mchair303

If I did, I wouldn't spend it on the OBP set pictured on the site, because those just ain't Ringo's drums... [Attachment: 89071]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!Mike

Ringo had four OBP sets during the run of the Beatles. The set up for auction is the first set he had which he used from 1963-1964 when he got his second set (the one in your picture). Later in 64 he went from 12/14/20 sets (#1 & #2) to 13/16/22 sized sets (#3 & #4) and primarily used set number 3 from that point forward.

Strikes me as odd that he would sell his first set first. Set #4 got the least use so that would be a good one to "test the waters". It does appear that he is keeping the snare drum that came with this set. He continued to use it almost exclusively with the other sets, both live and in the studio. That particular Jazz fest is readily identifiable by the placement of the badge and it turns up in EVERY photo from 63-70. That one might be a million dollar drum by itself...used on almost every Beatle recording after early 1963.

I hope the set goes to a museum or some other situation where people could see it, rather than disappearing into a private collection. I wonder if Paul might bid? He could afford it and it certainly played a big part in his career as well. Might go to a wealthy rock star drummer with money to burn but being Beatles related it could just as easily go to a well-heeled non drummer collector.

I know it won't be coming to my house. I'm not even sure I can afford the auction catalog ($200).

Bun - $4-5 million US? That would be impressive. Can't think of any other drum set that has this type of collector value so whatever it goes for will surely set the record.

He's got two sons...and three more OBP sets plus the Let It Be maples so they're probably covered.

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

Post of the year. Love your sense of humor man.

If you're referring to Zakk, it's all good.. He's a DW endorser.. I'm also positive that he's got at least one of his Dad's kits, only nobody knows about it..

I think we'll be surprised at the final bid and not in a positive way...:cool:

Never play it the same way once.

Ringo's children are getting some of their Dad's gear.
