Amazing how musicians have a natural talent with never a lesson. But to be able to play such a variety of instruments with no formal training is truly remarkable! 😊

[@canalesworks1247]

In particular he looks like a teenager when he plays the drums. He's a solid drummer, nothing spectacular, but has a great sense of time. He looks like he's having so much fun.

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

I always loved this band Paul had in the early 1990s. In this video we have Paul on drums, Hamish Stuart on acoustic guitar and lead vocal, Robbie McIntosh on lead guitar, Paul "Wix" Wickens on bass, Blair Cunningham on triangle and tambourine, and Linda on shaker. I think they all helped out a bit on the backing vocals. So great to watch these guys having so much fun playing this Bill Withers classic - I believe at a sound check.

[@ExtremeBeatlesArchive]

In Tokyo rehearsal. Best band he was in since Beatles, agreed,

[@bobbysands6923]

A world-wide cultural icon, who wrote some of the best songs ever, known for playing bass, guitar, and singing, just gets up and plays drums like a professional studio drummer. No problem...

[@cuttyatruffcutt7964]

And the thing is .... he played bass in the Beatles because they needed a bass player!!!

[@dennymartin18]

Paul is a multi- instrumentalist unlike the other Beatles but not half as versatile as Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones was. BJ was a true musician and a genius.

[@mtp4430]

He’s been playing drums since his teens. He’s playing a right handed drummers kit, no less. Since the majority of musicians are right handed, he learned at a young age to flip the guitar over and play it. He also learned to play a right handed kit, left-handed. One of the very, very best musicians of his generation. In fact, one of the greatest musicians of any generation. His songs will live forever.

[@thatotherguy7596]

Paul is a phenomenal song writer and musician but he's no Ringo Starr, John Bonham or Kieth Moon. 😆

[@mtp4430]

@@thatotherguy7596 Of course not. Not even close. But Ringo, Bonham, and Moon could not write and sing on Paul's level either. Drums are not his main instrument.
