  • Ludwig Downbeat Four-piece drum set with cymbals (1963), Ludwig Drum Company. Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll. Metropolitan Museum of Art..
    "​In postwar Britain, American-made instruments were rare and desirable. The Beatles’ Ringo Starr, seeking his first American drum set, purchased this Ludwig kit from London’s Drum City music store in 1963. The shop’s owner, Ivor Arbiter, designed the Beatles’ “drop-T” logo on the bass drum head so Ringo could also retain the Ludwig logo, demonstrating proof of its American provenance. He used this kit for European performances from 1963 to 1964. The cymbals and bass drum head are period-correct replacements. ",
