CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY

To whom it may concern

I hereby certificate that the bassdrum showed in the above picture is the original piece from the reserve drumkit made by Ludwig and used by Ringo Starr (drummer of The Beatles) during their first american tour in 1964.

The reserve drum was buyed by the staff in U.S.A. and hand painted by The Beatles road manager Mal Evans. This item is in very nice preserved shape and The Beatles hand painted writing still with sharp unfaded black color.

Original drums or single pieces of the drum kit belonged to The Beatles are now extremely rare and they command very high prices in the collector market.
