Ringo Starr’s HBO Special “Off The Record,” Hosted by Dave Stewart. And a killer signed poster.

June 7, 2016 by evpcd

  An amazing piece I’m thrilled to add to my growing Ringo and Beatles collection. OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM ONE OF THE CO-EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS OF THIS PROGRAM MARK FARRELL. THE POSTER MEASURES 4′ X 5.’ IT’S A BLACK AND WHITE HEAD SHOT FROM 1965 OF RINGO. IT WAS USED AS A BACK-DROP FOR THE SET DESIGN STAGE. (IT CAN BE SEEN HANGING IN THE REAR OF THE STAGE DIRECTLY BEHIND WHERE RINGO IS SEATED.) THE PHOTO WAS ALSO USED AS THE […]

John Densmore Drummer for The Doors. “Snarling as hell, that was my sound.”

September 18, 2015 by evpcd

“It was a pretty standard set-up. One tom-tom on the bass drum and a floor tom. Real spectacular! I never went for the two bass drum routine; there are lots of people who can do more with one than most guys can do with two. I liked to take the bottom heads off my toms to make them bark and growl. I hated new skins – I loved the sound of ’em after they’d been beaten to death for months, […]

Ringo Starr and Ludwig Drums. Drumming royalty for over 50 years.

March 7, 2015 by evpcd

For those of you who remember the first time your saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show, you saw the name Ludwig for the first time as well. The Beatles appeared on three consecutive Sundays in February 1964 to great anticipation and fanfare as “I Want to Hold Your Hand” had swiftly risen to No. 1 in the charts. Their first appearance on February 9 is considered a milestone in American pop culture and the beginning of the British […]

Collecting Ringo. Yes, Ringo.

July 27, 2014 by evpcd

Maybe it’s because I’m a drummer. And drummers like drummers. If you are a collector or lover of rock n’ roll memorabilia of any kind, you have to appreciate what The Beatles have to offer. Suffice to say you could live a long, healthy, and expensive lifestyle and still not have it all. Perhaps the most merchandised band in the history of music, I decided to focus my attention on collecting one Beatle, my favorite Beatle, Ringo. While it may […]

Ringo Starr, I guess I have you to thank for this obsession.

For those drummers like me who for the first time saw Ringo Starr sitting behind his Ludwig kit on the Ed Sullivan show on February, 9, 1964, were experiencing history before our eyes. While I had no idea at the time, I was nine years old, of the impact that band and performance would have on my life, it’s clear now how big of an impact it did have. I know I like every other kid at the time had […]

The lost art of bass drum head design. Bring back 70’s, 80’s and hell, might as well bring back the 20’s.

February 25, 2013 by evpcd

So about a year or so ago I had the pleasure of being able to buy a few drum heads from Joey Kramer’s collection. After I purchased them, I became obsessed with buying drum heads. It occurred to me what a lost art form this in fact was. When you think about it, it’s really one of the first forms of music marketing. A logo or design that sits on the bass drum acts like a billboard for the band. […]

I’d like to thank Buddy and Ringo the two that started this obsession.

About a year ago, the marketing communications company I work for Allen & Gerritsen, was contacted by a potential client to do some Audience Research, that client was Zildjian Cymbals. Suffice to say a music junkie, hack drummer, a Ringo wannabee like myself was insanely excited about doing work, any work, for a brand like this. A brand I’d had grown up with. Those like me who for the first time saw Ringo Starr sitting behind his Ludwig kit on […]
