How to make your drums sound like the Beatles Ringo Starr by Udo Masshoff Drums

[@paulbadoo9326]

Ringo was a genius...He tuned his drums, for a start, and they always sounded superb. This guy more or less got the sound, but his playing is so different from Ringo's, that when he plays a Come Together-like groove is like night and day...

I use this method for hip hop style drums

I love the sound man, awesome ideas. I’ve recently been recording some Beatles covers and found myself hitting hard to get that sound, though. Cranking the snares and whacking the drums. I did two different drum takes on my ‘Here Comes the Sun’ cover, one quiet and one loud, and I found myself much closer to the sound on the loud one. That’s just for the Ringo sound though. Cool video nonetheless!

Uh, Ringo never played that soft on anything! He smacked the hell out of his kit.

[@johnbensinger4931]

jimflip not compared to how the cats play today though

He never said that Ringo played that way... He said the Ringo drum tuning was also great for singer/songwriter scenarios and studio work, and to get the best tone you should play em lightly - watch the video at least and listen to the guy before you critique him!

[@timothyhernandez9863]

yes

[@AndrossUT]

Yes but the sets were not as loud back then. He's playing with modern kit.

Terj can do drums?

[@telsonalves8060]

Great video ! I would like to know please what a model to this drum set ? Thanks.

Ringo should get much more love.

Könntest du Mal ein Video zum Thema machen, wie das Zusammenspiel aus physikalischer Sicht (so genau wie möglich) zwischen Reso- und Schlagfell ist. Am besten genau in Bezug auf die speziellen Obertonfrequenzen, die zu messen sind. Oder generell Mal zu klären, welche Faktoren die Tonhöhe bei einer Trommel beeinflussen, weil wenn ich ja ein dickeres Fell nehme muss ich es ja verhältnismäßig stärker anziehen, um die gleiche Frequenz zu bekommen, wie bei einem dünneren oder? (Müsste ja eigentlich so sein, weil das Fell einfach nur eine 2 Dimensionale Saite darstellt) Falls du dazu keine Antwort weißt: könntest du (oder ein anderer Kommentarleser) mir einen Link schicken zu einer Website die das gut erklärt? Mich interessiert einfach die genau Physik hinter der Trommel und welche Faktoren sie beinflussen - weil wenn man das weiß, kann man bestimmt noch effektiver und genauer stimmen (gerade auch auf einen speziellen Ton)

Hallo Tobias, das ist u.a. ein Thema in meiner DVD. Die bekommst Du auf meiner Website als DVD oder Download, oder Du kommst zu einem meiner Workshops: www.masshoffdrums.com

please make a tutorial snare tunning for reggae snare sound

[@domagojoinky8262]

Listen to any song that Stewart Copeland played the drums on. It is perfect reggae rock sound. It is high pitched and sounds like gunshots.

[@DZNTZ]

Steel drum, single ply head, cranked UP and ringy... Both heads very tight. Rimshots should be nice and PING like a timbale, played near the edge should have some funky overtones. Shallow depths have that crisp rimshot you want and steel has the ring so a steel piccolo is a common choice - 14x3 or so. I have a 14x3.5 steel Pearl free floater that works great. You can go even ringier though, a cheap steel piccolo can be just the thing for a gritty, raw reggae sound. If you’re trying to get the sound without a new drum, pick your ringiest drum (hopefully it’s also shallow-ish) and crank it up.

Ringo was not Ringo with Sheila lol

Check it out the Reverb vídeo about Ringo's sound it's a Lot better than this

just goes to show how piss poor drums are if they rely on bunging quilts in the bass drum and muffling well manufactured toms with tea towels.

[@ramencurry6672]

Not just towels but old boxer shorts or old underwear will also work too

What keys are the drums tuned too?
