Percussion Discussion - Episode 85 - Gary Astridge
Joining me today is Historian and Curator of every Drum Kit used by Ringo Starr throughout his career with The Beatles - Gary Astridge
Today is all about Ringo, when i ask the many drummers i speak too, a few names constantly appear, Buddy Rich, Steve Gadd and yes.... Ringo Starr!
Im very grateful that today i get to chat to not only a personal friend of the man himself, but an absoloute authority on Ringo and all of the equipment that he has used over the years, from his early days with Premier Drums through to the brand that his name has become synonymous with Ludwig Drums.
We chat for a full hour about all things Ringo and the Beatles, pop the kettle on, sit back, relax and enjoy.
Many thanks to Gary for giving up his time so Generously, its much appreciated!
