Ringo's a great drummer and he played on a lot of great songs, but $2 million for a drum set is absurd.
Yes, considering the same guy just a few years ago bought one of Ringo's drumheads (JUST the drumhead!) for $2 million! The seller had bought it years before for only $80,000!!! Some people have more money than sense!
Ohhh. So that's what happened to the snare?

The Indianapolis Colts owner made his latest pricey purchase Friday, picking up Ringo Starr's first Ludwig drum set at auction for $1.75 million. "Finally, after 45 years, the Beatles are together again," Irsay said in a text message to The Associated Press. Irsay owns prominent guitars from the group's other three members ? Paul McCartney, the late George Harrison and the late John Lennon. Earlier this year, Irsay also purchased a drumhead that will fit the set he just bought. Irsay is a huge music fan and an avid collector. He owns roughly 30 famous guitars, including instruments used by Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia and Eric Clapton. m.lasvegassun.com/news/2015/dec/05/colts-owner-buys-ringo-starrs-early-drum-set/

I don't understand all the snare drum comments. The snare can be clearly seen and heard in this video.

I was just going by what Audi said. Audi, you wanna weigh in here?

I see a kick drum. I see a tom. I see cymbals. I see a crash. I see a stool. I do not see a snare.

OK, here's the disconnect: The snare is not in that photo, but the set that Ringo plays in the video has a snare. Is that the one he sold?

What picture are you looking at that doesn't have a snare drum? Buying a drum set without a snare is like buying a car with 3 tires.

The opening shot in the video -- which is also the same stock pic that has been in virtually every article on the subject. I play drums, so I know how key the snare is. That's why I spotted the missing snare.
-
If it's this video, the snare is there.
I didn't mean to sound like Dr. Seuss. The snare is there Where is the snare? Right there. The snare Oh, where. Oh, snare -
The snare is in the video where Ringo is playing, but not the black & white photo. I would assume the guy got all the components!

And It All Goes To Charity! http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/entertainment-articles/ringo-starr-sells-9-million-worth-beatles-memorabilia/
It said "some of it" in the end of the article, not "all of it." So why did the title say "It all goes to charity!"
