This model underwent a number of changes over this time. According to The Ludwig Book, written by Rob Cook, Ludwig’s Barrett Deems model snare (5.5" d) was renamed Jazz Festival in 1960 and was manufactured through 1970. John Aldridge, author of A Guide To Vintage Drums, indicates that the Super Classic model had a 5.5" shell depth and the Jazz Festival had a 5" shell depth. There appears to be two separate professional opinions on what model snare Ringo used. The second Oyster Black Pearl snare drum in question came with Ringo's 1965 Super Classic kit. ![]() Paul McCartney used this snare when he recorded his first solo album "McCartney" and he continued using it on some of his initial Wings tunes. I can verify that one came with Ringo's second OBP kit (Sullivan) and is a 5"x14". ![]() Note: Ringo did have two other Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl Jazz Festival snare drums during his time as a Beatle but no photos have ever surfaced showing them being used, lying around in the studio, on tour or anywhere else for that matter.
