Donn demonstrates and discusses the history of this rare, English, 1964 Liverpool, Cavern Club era Ludwig Black Oyster Pear "Downbeat" kit, set up to Ringo Starr spec.

This set has a pretty fascinating history! This Ludwig Black Oyster pearl “Downbeat” set was purchased  in England by Roy Little in early 1964, just as The Beatles were exploding into worldwide stardom. Little was the drummer in The Blackwells, a popular Liverpool band working Merseyside clubs like The Cavern and The Peppermint Lounge that The Beatles would eventually make world famous. It’s not unlikely that the two bands would have crossed paths as they navigated the jumping Liverpool club scene.
