Beat those drums like he did, asshole. No microphones on the drums and have it all still be in perfect order. You couldn't handle it on your best day or after years of practice. There's only one Ringo for the Beatles.

[@sunnyaustin4127]

Happy, charismatic, a great sense of humor and a great drummer!

[@NaaHva]

It's because it's the real Ringo/Richard here. At some shows he used a double who didn't smile like Ringo used to do. That double can be seen in the shows in 1966 and in Get Back.

[@MrPlasticSoul92]

I suppose ringo had to thump his drums like crazy because of the screaming crowd. He later said that he didn't like it because he couldn't do tricks or different rhythms because they couldn't hear him.

[@elliebean1118]

MrPlasticSoul92 Yeah he was light on fills because he could barely hear the band and they could barely hear anything except his hi-hats

Actually, SinaDrums did a video highlighting the unique style that Ringo Starr has and even some drum beats, he himself created. The best of about Ringo is the way he interpreted a song through drums, making it his own. Thus, those who says he is not a good drummer have no idea of his contribution to rock history.

[@elwin38]

I'm glad Pete Best got some compensation for what he did. In 1960, when the Beatles couldn't find a drummer and Paul made it clear he wasn't going to be a drummer, Pete was all they had. They brought him in days before they left for Hamburg for the first time and he held them up until they became better and more established. What hurt Pete a little(and eventually added up to his dismissal), was Pete was an extrovert. When Pete wasn't available or wasn't around, Ringo was there. When Rory Storm and the Hurricanes would be done for the night(or morning), Ringo would sit in the audience(or find where they performed) and would watch the Beatles play. When Pete wasn't available, he would step in and perform with them. Ringo would hang out with them, even napping in their room. For Ringo, he just took advantage of an opportunity and the rest is history.

[@mikem9001]

Ringo didn't hang around the Beatles hoping to get a gig. He was far more established than they were at the time, and Lennon didn't think they could get him.

[@jarhead7206]

Ringo was able to look the part as Purdie mentioned, and that's all Ringo brought. Without a doubt Ringo is part of one of music's most successful bands and had no more talent than the worse of the worse in the business. Probly the highest offset degree of success vs real talent in all music history .

[@elwin38]

@@mikem9001 I never said(or implied)Ringo "hung around" for anything! As a matter of fact, it was George who wanted him to play at some of their gigs when Pete Best wasn't available.

[@hybridmeteora5467]

Still astonished the way he still keep kicking those hithats on the beat while rocking away. Remember he's a left handed drummer and playing it on a right handed drum and to make a point, it could shuffle your coordination. He's great because he still has kept his coordination.
