Serial numbers. Serial numbers don’t directly identify specific drum type or year. In fact, it wasn’t until 1964 that Ludwig started to put serial numbers on their products. That leaves 4 years of 60’s era drums that can’t be dated using a serial number guide.

Between the growing counterculture, the Vietnam war, the rise of feminism, and the increase in environmentalism, a lot of strong feelings arose. From the 1960s to the 1970s, music underwent just as many changes as society did. Percussion in the early 60s was relatively mild — drums held down the fort but never got too boisterous. Back then, drum ki...
Hal Blaine is one of the best-known drummers from the ’60s — for a good reason! He was in dozens of top 40 tracks and worked with artists such as Frank Sinatra and the Beach Boys. However, Blaine’s claim to fame is being the most recorded session drummer ever. According to his Google profile, he partook in over 35,000 sessions and was in over 6,000...
Ringo Star was born to the name Sir Richard Starkey in 1950 in Liverpool, UK. Everyone knows Ringo for being the Beatles drummer — But did you know that he was also a member of a group called the Hurricanes? Ringo Stars’ career as a drummer began with the pop-rock-and-rollers (Rory Storm and the Hurricanes) in the early 1960s. While Ringo takes a l...
Keith Moon was an English drummer from Wembley, UK. He played bugle as a young kid and later learned the drums. To say Keith Moon’s playing is unique would be a fast understatement. Moon was described as both ‘manic’ and ‘hell-raising’ in an article penned on LouderSound. Keith Moon was not only an iconic percussionist but also had a playful, misch...
Charlie Watts was an English drummer and member of the Rolling Stones. He first began drumming in his mid-teens when he received a snare drum for Christmas. Later, he borrowed a drum kit and began learning well-known tunes. The Guardian described Watt’s personality as ‘dapper and deadpan,’which is a fun alliteration and an unusual way of penning a ...
John Bonham was a lightning-fast drummer from Redditch, UK. And forget the double kick! John Bonham only used one bass drum. He was known for his uber-fast footwork — with just a single pedal. He hit the drums brazenly, usually with much force: subtlety wasn’t his thing. Led Zepplin didn’t come in until 1969, but I thought I’d add Bonham as an exam...
While we’re on the topic of the late ’60s, I thought I ought to mention Carmine Appice. Appice is most well known for his work in the psychedelic rock band Vanilla Fudge. Appice and another Vanilla Fudge member formed the blues band Cactus after the band broke up. Like Bonham, Appice went heavy on the set. He was inspired by jazz drummer Buddy Rich...
It’s hard to classify Buddy Rich as just 60’s drummer, as his career lasted for decades. But alas, the ’60s were one of the decades he was killin’ it in! Buddy Rich is an American drummer and conductor from Brooklyn. He is one of the most renowned jazz artists ever, often cited as the best jazz drummer ever. According to his bio on Britannica, he b...
Honey Landtree was born in Hayes, UK, in the 1940s and was a part of the Brit-beat group called the Honeycombs. With the Honeycombs, Honey Lantree delved into uncharted territory — She was one of the only female drummers in the 1960s. While she isn’t nearly as well known as Ringo Starr or Keith Moon, she pushed the boundaries of what a female music...
Mitch Mitchell was an English rock and drummer known for playing in Jimi Hendrix. He used a 1967 Ludwig that still makes ‘must see’ drum kit liststoday. His style ranged from relaxed and groovy to improvisational, head-turning fusion. There is quite a stir as to whether John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) or Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix)was a better drummer...
Phil Seamen and Micky Waller sat in for Nicol until Bill Eyden became the band's full-time drummer in September 1964. In October 1964, the album Fame at Last reached No.15 in the U.K. album chart.
In 1964, a little-known British outfit called The Beatles made their international TV debut on The Ed Sullivan show and changed popular culture forever. The drummer, Ringo Starr, chose to play a Black Oyster Pearl Ludwig drum kit, with the Ludwig brand logo visibly plastered across the 20” bass drum.
The first song that Ringo recorded with this drum set was Matchbox, on June 1, 1964. This was Ringo's workhorse from May 31, 1964 thru September 11, 1968 when he began using his Ludwig Hollywood maple kit.
The design and tone of Classic Shells would be showcased on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 by The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, changing Ludwig drums forever.
