Keith Moon

On this page says Keith Moon used a Ludwig Black Pearl Kit circa 1964-1965.

Used by Keith Moon during 1966.

Keith Moon used Ludwig Silver Sparkle kit during 1965.

Likely Keith’s best known kit, for its unique look, Keith had Premier custom-build at least three of these kits to his specification. It was Moon’s idea to incorporate “Pictures of Lily” in the design.

Likely the same specification as the “Pictures of Lily” kit — in black. Used onstage beginning early 1970 until March 1973.

Keith bought a transparent acrylic drumkit from Zickos drum company, during The Who’s 1970 U.S. tour, before a show in Kansas City on July 2. Several weeks later, Moon ordered one more drumkit. Zickos had only been in business in less than a year, and Keith was the second drummer to order a kit, so Zickos didn’t have all of their own hardware available. Zickos have reported that some of the hardware used was probably Sonor and Camco in addition to Zickos’ own.
