What's amazing about Ringo's playing is that he couldn't hear his band mates at all over the fans screaming he had to read their movements to know what was going on but he still played perfectly
Peter's evil brother Thaddeus I heard Ringo talking about playing with the Beatles and he said that in the beginning, he wished he had a moniter at the side of him, but those weren’t for a few more years.
The dude had friggen wrists of steel. The very fact that he could sustain some of these beats with so much precision is the very testament to how brilliant he was.
Add to that he very rarely (if ever) lost the beat. Dudes wrists were probably killing him, couldn’t hear his band mates and yet he’s got metronomic timing. Best drummer ever, and I say this as a drummer!
@joeymorvant161 , it's not about keeping a beat so much, Ringo's style is his trademark, listen to any recordings and you'll hear fills that are different to other drummers.
@@joeymorvant161 Dude... I'm not going to assume that you either have worked with bands or haven't, but from my own experience, that's one of the most inaccurate statements of all time 🤣
If I recall correctly, this was the concert where Paul kept messing up the words to "I'm Down." John reminded him of the words before the song and he still messed them up!
Trevor Zarnstorff yeah i think alot of people forget that they were a bar band before they bacame the beatles you know i love some those old videos where they are playing live and are just fuckin killing it just fuckin rockin and havin a good time laughing and just being a good band kinda fuckin with each other and laughing. in all of the ooo its the beatles kinda stuff like i said i think alot of people forget they were a bunch young guys playin in a band having fun
@@pierrepetry5734 So I read, but they stuck with him until the end :). The main reason Ringo was hired was because he hated drummers who did these lengthy drum solos. And guess what? So did John, Paul, and George. I am willing to bet that if Buddy Rich wanted to join them, they'd turn him down :)! They have high praise for Ringo. Many drummers better than Ringo have nothing but good comments about him. There's just something about his style!
@@ferdinandwang1165 It's just something i read in a magazine!Lennon talk bad about all the Beatles after they split!I like Ringo and he is the reason(With Ginger Baker) why i started to play drums!I think he was good!
@Mark Morrissey I was not there!I'm just like you i just know what read in some magazines.So if it's true or not is another question!He said that in an interview after the Beatles split.He complains about Paul too and also about some Beatle song he don't liked-"Drive my car"-for example-One of my favorite!
Completely underrated. Ringo was the type of drummer who sat in the pocket and drove the song with authority. The Beatles would have never been the Beatles without him.
@@aaronalbert4160don’t listen to him it’s some garbage that has been debunked over and over again. Ringo played almost every drum part in the Beatles catalog, save for a few Paul bits.
Paul should be the brain because of his song writings, John is obviously the soul, George is the heart because hes so energetic, and Ringo is the body because hes perfect
And Ringo was one of the first drummers back then who played nice and loud. That's what I liked about the Beatles....you could actually hear the guitars, drums and bass...all nice and loud!
skh1825 Ringo said that he had no speaker near him in the beginning of the Beatles and said, “I would just watch John. I could tell by this part of him where we were in the song.” So amusing.
Not only that, but he could also play extremely subtle and quiet drums. Most people who know little about drums think that Ringo is one of those lousy loud simple players, but he isn’t. He mostly played loud so he could actually get the sound over around 50,000 fans screaming. In the studio, it was a different story. He could play so quiet that you would have to rewind it 20 times to tell what and where it was.
Haha….at 3:10. Ringo was the glue that held them all together. He saved them many times in concert when they goofed up with his incredible timing and beat.
thats my favorite part about playing this amazing instrument, alone it sounds bland, but slap in even some basic other instruments and its the heartbeat of a band!
100% solid drummer. Hardly ever messed up, and didn’t often make tiny mistakes like a stick drop or an accidental rim hit or something. Also he had awesome tempo. Give it to Ringo for pioneering the rock drumming we know and love today!
@@anonymous-hk6ge He truly never did though Supposedly in all the time there were retakes during recording sessions in the studio Not once was it due to Ringo messing up He was just that rock steady on the beat
Ringo Starr is a left handed man and he did an interview where he said “My mother did not want to buy a left handed kit, so I learned the wrong way round on the set.” I have even seen him with a guitar the wrong way, too.
@@hewgrebe4771 there's really no such thing as a "left handed kit" you can set the drums up any way you want. Just as easy to set them up either way, it's just how you place the drums/cymbals. I think Ringo set them up right handed simply because that's how all the other drummers set them up, so he learned it that way. It turned out to be almost a good thing, being left handed on a right handed kit is what gave him a unique sound with some of his drum fills as he had to lead with his left hand on a right handed kit. I guess the only thing that he would have had to change is the rack tom holder on the bass drum to put the tom on the other side, but he chose to leave it the way it was and play it right handed. He could have also just used another snare stand to place the rack tom on the other side but he didn't.
Ringo's playing is unpretentious but solid and perfect for the Beatles style. And Ringo always looks like he's having such a blast playing behind John, Paul and George and his joy is contagious. He's a real crowd pleaser.
The studio magnificence of the later 60s Beatles did not need overplaying technical drumming, it required unique and creative rhythms and that is EXACTLY what it got....that is aside from Ringo's rock solid rock and roll drumming from the early days. Listen to She Said or Rain or Flying or Strawberry Fields or so many others..he plays swing in a pop context, so genius
We see more Of Paul, John And George doing their thing cause they’re at the front so it’s nice to see this video of ringo just going crazy on drums lol
You can see Ringo at the beginning of most songs straining to hear what the band is doing. But the minute he drops in he just becomes a total metronome. God love Ringo
Ringo is a drummer's drummer- unique and underappreciated by snobs who can't see the forest for the trees- only Ringo could have worked for the Beatles.
they used asession drummer on many of the early tracks and later Paul sat in on drums when Ringo wasnt available. John once joked when a fan said Ringo was "the best drummer in the world" ..."Ringo isnt even the best drummer in the Beatles" lol
@@johngalush8790 They used Andy White on one version of "Love me Do" because George Martin didn't know they had switched to Ringo and had no idea who he was when he turned up to play. What "many early tracks" do you speak of? Please site sources.
@@danschneider9921 Andy White. Yes. Thank you. I almost wanted to say Jimmy Nickle. But he filled in for Ringo on the Australian tour. I suppose my sources are the same as yours. I've seen every documentary and read the biographies. You might say I'm a fan. I'm assuming if they booked studio time and called in a session player, they must have used him on more than one song. I'm a drummer and I pick up on technical nuances of the craft. Off the top of my head I think Andy played on; From Me To You, Twist and Shout and Boys. Maybe some others. It's been awhile since I've listened. Dont get me wrong. I like Ringo. He contributed something unique to the legend. But he wasnt a serious drummer. He even said so in an interview. ..."make a few bucks] with The Beatles and open a salon..."
Dan Schneider Yes, there were five different drummers that started them off. Pete Best, Andy White, Ringo Starr, a black man whose name escapes me, now and one other man, whose name I forget too, but that was just them trying to get discovered.
one of the million things i love about Ringo is the simplicity of his drum kit set-up: 3 toms, 1 ride and 1 crash - that’s all he needed and he found such cool and creative ways to use his kit…Long Live Ringo!!
I saw Ringo in Paris last year and what struck me about his drumming style was how relaxed it was. He could almost have been a jazz drummer. When you listen to his drumming, everything he did was classy and added to the music. His drumming style, personality and musicality fitted The Beatles perfectly.
Anyone that have played in a band live, will praise what happened at 3:11. I watched that part lots of times and enjoyed every time. Those are priceless moments when playing live with friends. They were all laughing for a while. Very cool video and very underrated drummer!
3:12 is priceless. It happens many times when you play live music and it tells a lot of the good vibe among these lads! Thanks for this treasure of footage.
The band buildup at 1:52 might be the most awesome buildup ever in their "Long tall sally" performances. It is insane to watch how in sync they all are when the entire place is going nuts. Paul turning to count them off, Ringo hitting all the offbeats, John driving the key change, and George hitting the solo is note perfect with a sweet bend at the end. Shows just how miles ahead of every other band even in 1964 period. The girls all standing on their feat at the end when Paul turns to face them is the cherry on top. Just nailed it.
Ringo's playing grew with the band. He came up with licks, beats, grooves that are iconic, immediately recognizable, and it fit the music perfectly. What he didn't play was as important as what he did play.
Ringo is pretty much a black box: no one knows how he pulls those magic chops (and no one's able to repeat 'em successfully)... What a talented drummer!!
I love his swishing hit-hat...I never appreciated it until I learned to play the drums. He's the greatest! Plus he's just cool. John knew that from the start.
Ringo, the Jimi Hendrix of drums. An astonishingly gifted original and creative drummer. Never lost the tempo or the beat, and enjoyed every moment on his drum kit drumming for The Beatles. Why did it take so long for them to induct him into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Total legend.
I’m glad you posted this because it shows that even though Bernard Purdie is a great drummer, his remark that he redid Ringo parts is sad. It’s completely untrue with no valid backing. I’m not sure why he ever said it but it’s up there with the great lies of all time
I'm 53 ys old , 40 ys of them a Beatles fanatic and my favourite Beatle was always Ringo . Why ?! Because he doesn ' t play the drums,, He simply plays the song . And that is a talented artist. Bless you Sir .
You have to remember as well, that Ringo himself as frequently stated that it live performances due to the level of screams that all he could mostly do was hold down the back beat, as anything other than that would get drowned out.
Ringo is a real drummer plays for the music not for himself no flash no tricks no over drumming just straight playing not many drummers do this today its a talent and bands love it
I was seven years old that night, glued to the tv watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. Ringo was rocking the beat with a boyish enthusiasm and a masterful swing, it made you feel alive with an excitement you never felt before.
Ringo layed down some unique drum hooks as well as being a very tight beat machine. My favourite being the floor Tom Tom roll at the start of "She Loves You"
Thanks for exclusive shots of Ringo working, he really has the taste and the drum stick control to serve the song, I love his charisma. Peace and Love and laughter to you Ringo.
Richard Starkey: a PROFESSIONAL musician. Dude was interpreting original songs. Made at LEAST as important as the significancy we ascribe to lead guitarists. Everybody plays his licks, but he never played anybofy else's on an original Beatles composition.
For many many years Ringo was an underrated drummer, even derided in some quarters, so good that his unique talent is recognized now, he was the heartbeat of The Beatles.
He was the best fit for the Beatles. He fit thier sound spot on. I don't think ginger Baker would fit thier music. Neither would John Bonham. Mich Mitchell wouldn't fit either. Ringo played it straight. He played just what the music called for.
Ringo really the Tim Duncan of drumming. He did what had to do for the song and he did it well yet people question his greatness for not being overly technical
His drumming on "A Day in the Life" shows how capable he was technically. Lots of busy fills all perfectly placed to add depth and yet still let the music breathe.
I'm still trying to hold and swing my sticks as well as Ringo.Clearly he was unschooled in traditional techniques, but his natural understanding of wrist movements and anatomy is masterful.
I've been playing drums for over 40 years now. To me Ringo is a great drummer. He plays a lot of 32sec beat to many songs including Help. Not easy to do! He really kicks ass on Long Tall Sally towards the end of song. Great job Ringo!!
I can’t believe how many views this videos of mine has got. Thank you to everyone who has watched this video :)

Actually not that hard. Have to do this in pit drumming a lot
Thaddeus Griffin in the one interview he said that he looked at Johns ass most of the time to keep beat
yes - it was the reason they quit playing live - they coudn't hear themselves above the screaming. No musician can enjoy playing like that.

Ringo is a low-key genius.
At 3:09 something cracks Paul up. Ringo laughs along, but makes sure the beat goes on.

Exactly. I'm always saying that to my music buddies. It created such a driving sound...
Hard to get that sound on hat, think his soc cymbals were bigger
Totally agree! Really opens up the sound. It became his signature sound to me. Not many drummers did that back then. Or now for that matter.

Shows just how miles ahead of every other band even in 1964 period. The girls all standing on their feat at the end when Paul turns to face them is the cherry on top. Just nailed it.
i might say that this man inspired me to raise my drumming seat this week and it has changed my game completely
a true icon
Ringo's playing grew with the band. He came up with licks, beats, grooves that are iconic, immediately recognizable, and it fit the music perfectly. What he didn't play was as important as what he did play.
0:34 dancing and playing drums at the same time
He's the underrated Beatles but he's just so good.
Two of the greatest songwriters in the history of music choose Ringo to be their drummer... case closed!
Three of the greatest songwriters...
@@chadbutros3935 exactly. Most of my favorite Beatles songs are George’s compositions.
How can anyone hate him??? And why am I here from people hating on him??? He's flippin' amazing.
Solid. Only people that know nothing about music dare mock him.
True. They are not rockers, not even mods. They are mockers.
hahahahahahahahahahaha

Why do you think that.
Music? The Beatles? You mean bubble gum music?
@@tommytruth7595 The Beatles are awesome, but Ringo is far too basic to be any good.
0:34〜0:39 "Ringo Triple"
People say he's not super technically proficient but I have no idea what he's doing there
Ringo is pretty much a black box: no one knows how he pulls those magic chops (and no one's able to repeat 'em successfully)... What a talented drummer!!
@@gnomasome4698 hes playing triplets on the snare and hitting the cymbals on the down beats.... easier than it looks but still pretty cool
Chick-fil-A I think It’s actually crash-snare-snare-ride
@@steeno861 that's exactly what I said
Absolute perfect timing! Check it out. Even when the others are having a bad day he picks up the slack and gets them back on track.
To me, Ringo is very underrated as a drummer
Ringo was the absolute perfect drummer for the Beatles. He always knew how to play exactly what the song needed.
I love his swishing hit-hat...I never appreciated it until I learned to play the drums. He's the greatest! Plus he's just cool. John knew that from the start.
Ringo, the Jimi Hendrix of drums. An astonishingly gifted original and creative drummer. Never lost the tempo or the beat, and enjoyed every moment on his drum kit drumming for The Beatles. Why did it take so long for them to induct him into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Total legend.
look up Bernard Purdie
@@zelenicaljubljanica5410This type of exaggeration kiIIs my soul a little lol
@@redacted2275 ringo didn't play on the records but whoever did was great.
I’m glad you posted this because it shows that even though Bernard Purdie is a great drummer, his remark that he redid Ringo parts is sad. It’s completely untrue with no valid backing. I’m not sure why he ever said it but it’s up there with the great lies of all time
I'm 53 ys old , 40 ys of them a Beatles fanatic and my favourite Beatle was always Ringo . Why ?! Because he doesn ' t play the drums,,
He simply plays the song .
And that is a talented artist.
Bless you Sir .
Moustafa El Haguine well said. Things like how he played on Ticket to Ride. What an inventive and stylish approach.
Ringo was the original Dave Grohl. His little kit is begging for mercy. Godfather of heavy hands.
Had the privilege to see that kit in person once, on display of course.
It's been said that most great drummers play the drums, whereas, Ringo plays the SONGS. He does what it takes to make the whole thing work well.
You have to remember as well, that Ringo himself as frequently stated that it live performances due to the level of screams that all he could mostly do was hold down the back beat, as anything other than that would get drowned out.
Ringo is a real drummer plays for the music not for himself no flash no tricks no over drumming just straight playing not many drummers do this today its a talent and bands love it
I was seven years old that night, glued to the tv watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. Ringo was rocking the beat with a boyish enthusiasm and a masterful swing, it made you feel alive with an excitement you never felt before.
Ringo a mega underrated drummer. One of my favorites!!
richard isn't just a drummer, he's a percusionist as well.
Um
I saw ringo live in 2015 & it's definitely one of the highlights in my life.. I never thought i'd get to see one of the fab four.. EVER
3:40 leaked footage of the Beatles playing Helter Skelter lol
Azamuddin Khairuddin He’s got blisters on his fingahs!
What concert what this? I’d love to hear the full version
That was Long Tall Sally not Helter Skelter ,Helter Skelter came out 1968 that concert was mid 1963
Jean Van Vliet that was a joke
@@BenBomb5 That was at the Washington Coliseum, which was actually their first U.S. concert.
Ringo layed down some unique drum hooks as well as being a very tight beat machine. My favourite being the floor Tom Tom roll at the start of "She Loves You"
Never misses a beat. Always perfect time. Metronomes using a Ringo to keep the beat.
Say what you will, but rock drummers everywhere would still be proverbial cavemen if not for this legend.
Love Ringo, he's the best and was so right to be The Beatles Drummer.
3:11 I love that part
Ringo’s so talented in adding drums to a somber song of Yesterday.
I again realized that the secret of Beatles sound is Ringo's drumming and of course Paul's base as well.
The very best Rhythm Section in Rock'n Roll.
Thanks for exclusive shots of Ringo working, he really has the taste and the drum stick control to serve the song, I love his charisma. Peace and Love and laughter to you Ringo.
Ringo was one of the greats. Wholly underappreciated percussionist.
@3:28 George goes into the guitar break instead of going straight into the solo, briefly confusing the others.
John puts his hands behind his back like “not me fucking up.” LOL
@@luis.hammett676 touche!
All four men played good, together or not. But they all sounded great. Great work from all four of these men.
Amazing how quick they all just fix it
the british "oop"
What happened is John went to the verse while George was playing the solo so john stopped playing and put his hands behind his back.
3:40 RIP Ringo's drums
3:10 can he get any cuter?
Nope! Nothing ever cuter than Ringo! ❤️❤️
Richard Starkey: a PROFESSIONAL musician. Dude was interpreting original songs. Made at LEAST as important as the significancy we ascribe to lead guitarists. Everybody plays his licks, but he never played anybofy else's on an original Beatles composition.
David T I agree. Wrote songs, cut his hair and had his Ringo Starr Time going on his bass drum, too. Had to have been awesome.
Plus Ringo did not like drum Solo's! He had no reason to show off cause he was a Member of the BEATLES! Get it?
Yeah, good stuff, folks. Glad y'all could decipher what I was saying despite all the typos. Sir Richard remains a gem.

"Glad.. She- *GLLAAAAADDDD* '
'OOOOOOH.'
Knight Of The Galaxies SHE LOVES YOU AND YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE GLAD OOOOOOOOOHHH
Man she must be really glad
For many many years Ringo was an underrated drummer, even derided in some quarters, so good that his unique talent is recognized now, he was the heartbeat of The Beatles.
Gotta love Ringo, man. I used to watch this video a lot during my last year in high school.
Ringo is so legendary he will outlive us all.
Ringo was the perfect Beatle drummer...a real team player,made everyone around him better!
The way, Ringo performs his drums makes it swing like a swish-washer. Impressive! : )
Ringo is the best👍💯
No peter was the best
Bill ward
Mora Dave Lombardo
@C. Doom Schneider Thomas was not in a band the so not worth mentioning.
He was the best fit for the Beatles. He fit thier sound spot on. I don't think ginger Baker would fit thier music. Neither would John Bonham. Mich Mitchell wouldn't fit either. Ringo played it straight. He played just what the music called for.
Ringo laying it down with enthusiasm and energy and just playing for the song. A template for all drummers really!
Ringo really the Tim Duncan of drumming. He did what had to do for the song and he did it well yet people question his greatness for not being overly technical
His drumming on "A Day in the Life" shows how capable he was technically. Lots of busy fills all perfectly placed to add depth and yet still let the music breathe.
Ringo just had great form.
*has
@@bobbyforce1957 lol yeah I know. I thought about that after I wrote it. He doesn't play like this anymore though anyway.
@@StephenDanielAddeo well he should lol
I'm still trying to hold and swing my sticks as well as Ringo.Clearly he was unschooled in traditional techniques, but his natural understanding of wrist movements and anatomy is masterful.
@@ClaytonBanes yeah, it's really cool to do that on the hi hat, I love that feeling
Don't miss Ringo's drumming when he sings "Boys" on the Hollywood Bowl live album, just incredible.
Hell of a vocal performance too
I've been playing drums for over 40 years now. To me Ringo is a great drummer. He plays a lot of 32sec beat to many songs including Help. Not easy to do! He really kicks ass on Long Tall Sally towards the end of song. Great job Ringo!!
Su sonido es UNICO !!!! Love Ringo !!! 😍👏🥰👏😍🥰👏
King of feel - the very quality you can't put into words. A message to other drummers - there's no point analysing; just enjoy what's happening.
