Ludiwg 

Ludwig is undoubtedly the most famous name in drums. The Ludwig drum company was founded in 1909 and the products were immediately popular with drummers due to the superior quality & sound of the drums. The Ludwig brand reigned supreme in the 1960s partly because of the breakthrough of The Beatles - they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 and some 75 million people saw the Ludwig name clearly displayed on Ringo Starr's bass drum head; after that day, every drummer wanted to play a Ludwig!
