Los Angeles, Dec. 2 (Reuters): A drum kit played by Ringo Starr is seen fetching millions of dollars at auction this week as part of a sale of items belonging to the Beatle and his wife, Barbara Bach.

Starr is bidding farewell to items such as instruments, career memorabilia as well as personal items.

Among them are seven stage and studio drums played by Starr, including the first Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl drum kit used for the Beatles' early recordings, including Can't Buy Me Love and I Want to Hold Your Hand.

Starr used the kit in more than 200 performances.

"We'd probably estimate it two to four, three to five million just because we think it's such a significant piece of Beatles history," Darren Julien, president and chief executive of Julien's Auctions, said.
