Contact MOHAI to OrderDrummer Ringo Starr was the last Beatle to join the band, replacing drummer Pete Best. Though the fans initially objected to the change, soon Ringo equaled his bandmates in popularity among the fans, and was the central character in the Beatles' movie "Help!" and "Yellow Submarine." A month after this performance, in September 5, 1964, William F. Ludwig Jr., then president of the Ludwig Drum Company, presented Ringo Starr with a gold-plated Ludwig Super-Sensitive snare drum.
