What makes Ringo a Great Drummer - Tribute by Sina

Ringo is still the most underrated drummer in Rock. This humble tribute is meant to illustrate the importance of Ringo Starr's unique drum work for the Beatles.
First of all, I need to get the credits right: Big thanks to Johnny Silver and Ian Watts for giving me permission to use their recordings for my sound samples.
Johnny Silver is one of the world’s finest John Lennon impersonators. He founded ‘The Silver Beatles’ more than 20 years ago. My dad joined his band in May 1999, the month I was born and he was with the Silver Beatles for as long as 10 years.
That’s the reason why Milena and I literally grew up with Beatles music. Ian Watts was with the Silver Beatles basically between 2002 and 2007. Yes, Ian is the producer of the Nursery Rhyme Collection that I started introducing every Tuesday. No, it's not a coincidence that some of those Nursery Rhymes feature a Beatlesque sound. Drummer on the Original Recordings was Steve Heappey (sorry Steve for erasing your parts, they were excellent!)
The keyboard solos for ‘In My Life’ and ‘Come Together’ were played by… right, Rick Benbow. He also played on 'Strawberry Fields'
Johnny Silver (John's parts)
Ian Watts (Paul's parts)
Mike Wilbury (George's parts)
Sina (Ringo's parts)
Rick Benbow (Keyboards for ‘Strawberry Fields’, ‘In My Life’ ‘Come Together’, 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', 'Something')

[@Gkeller4]

Thanks, Sina, so much for posting this... both your awesome tribute, as well as sharing the link to your outstanding performance with your rockin' Dad and his Beatles cover band. I absolutely love the Beatles, and I agree that Ringo was the best drummer that they could have had. His innovation is quite underrated and often overlooked. Sina, I am so grateful for the ongoing musical education that you provide to your audience (and the world). Now, if I may brag just a bit... The most famous drummer of all time (no, not you, Sina, haha, but I do wish...) is going to be playing with his "All-Starr" band in my very own hometown just outside of Boston. Less than one mile from my house, and a mere 25 minutes walking distance!! And I just scored a pair of tickets in the secret "presale"... I have never seen Ringo live, so I think this is a once in a lifetime chance. Tickets are very expensive (but so is everything)... I can only hope that he will perform "The End" (his only drum solo as a Beatle)... Sorry if this is a weird thing to post, but I wanted to share this with Sina's audience. I'm going to have to rewatch this post several times and study his catalog over the next few months to prepare for a proper concert experience. Cheers, and peace, love and music forever!!!

Xactly, Michael. The drummers role : keep time, and play to the song. 👏

[@dude-fw7xt]

@@sdustin7986 Yes, this "keep time" thing reminds me of the drummer character in the fictional movie "That Thing You Do." The title song which was originally composed as a slow love song took on a lively identity when the drummer took the liberty of tweaking up the beat, making the song an instant hit and their group "The Wonders" very popular.

Amen! You can tell what the Song is just by his drums.

[@pillettadoinswartsh4974]

Three things: 1. He played to serve the song. That's generosity, and humility. 2. He played behind the beat, lagging a bit (unless the song was very up-tempo), making the entire band sound wonderfully heavy. That's why nobody can emulate him. 3. He was a drummer/composer. So many innovative riffs, beats, and intros Beatles songs are so great, you tend to overlook the stellar work Ringo did.

Join Ringo Paul stage

[@markhollis5850]

I had an interview with Sir Paul many years ago where he talked about Ringo as being capable of repeating drum parts for hours and hours in the studio and acknowledged that he was often the hardest worker in the band. And John, Paul and George never instructed Ringo as to what they wanted, Ringo just did it-usually on the first take. He was solid as a rock as a drummer. One other factor that your group, emulating the Beatles is doing is emulating the very close harmony of the girl bands of the late 1950s and early 1960s. This is something that John, Paul and George emulated. Male vocalists were not doing what the women were doing at that time and the Beatles liked the sound, so they did the more feminine close-harmony vocals in their music. Later on, bands like the Bee Gees and The Beach Boys would do the same. Thank you for your tribute. I do hope Ringo sees it.

[@Charlesbabbage2209]

The Beach Boys vocal sound comes from Brian Wilson being fascinated with the Four Freshmen. Their group vocal sound predates the Beatles and is tied to American jazz harmony.

[@Sukijopa]

And to think, there was a time when Paul criticized Ringo so often that he temporarily quit the band. It was when Paul played drums for "Back in the USSR." I'm glad George and John convinced Ringo to come back. Paul could be a jerk sometimes.

itsnotaboutme I’ve heard he can be such a perfectionist that it can make him be quite difficult to work with.

[@santithawat14]

@@FRN2013 From what I've read, Ringo left during the White Album session because the tension in the band during that period was too high for him. There was no evidence that he left because of Paul and came back because the other two convinced him to. Paul (for the main part), John, and George all took turn to play drum in Back in the USSR while Ringo was away. This is well documented.

[@FRN2013]

Wiki: The Beatles recorded "Back in the U.S.S.R." as a three-piece after Ringo Starr temporarily left the group out of protest at McCartney's criticism of his drumming and the tensions that typified the sessions for the White Album. ... The sessions for The Beatles (also known as the "White Album") were fraught with disharmony among the band members.[25] While rehearsing "Back in the U.S.S.R.", on 22 August 1968, Ringo Starr became tired of McCartney's criticism of his drumming on the song, and of the bad atmosphere generally,[26][27][28] and walked out, intent on quitting the group.[29] The other Beatles continued with the session, which took place at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. Ken Scott, the band's recording engineer, later recalled that they created a "composite drum track of bits and pieces" in Starr's absence.[29][nb 4]

[@santithawat14]

I'm 65 years old and I've listened to the beatles since their first albums. And I always paid attention to Ringo's work. No one thought he was a good drummer, everyone wanted speed and long solos. But ringo played for the songs, he did things that nobody ever did before and always innovative, without him the Beatles wouldn't be as big as they are. Besides being a talented drummer you are sensitive. smart and knows that music is not juggling for the public. It is creativity, parsimony and elegance. You are elegant as Ringo Starr. Congratulations and respect to you

In 2011 I was inducted as an Artist due to the fact that I also sing , write , play guitar and bass . However I'm still playing drums and singing because this was my 1st love. I'm not a fancy drummer , I play what the song needs . I'm 60 Today and I find it very nice to see young people actually interested in learning and teaching music .

Sina and her collaborators renewed my faith in the younger generation not losing sight of what is and makes for timeless art! This video further demonstrates the appreciation as well as the technical understanding Sina, herself, has for the art & craft of music, especially the drums. I, literally, grew up listening to the Beatles (family story that my mother turned up the TV loud so that her unborn youngest child - me - would hear them on Ed Sullivan in Feb '64, just weeks before being born). I've always appreciated the art and creativity of each member of the Fab Four, but Sina has given me a greater appreciation of Ringo as a drummer and artist. Sina proves herself quite the talented, knowledgeable, and humble artist in her own rite. This in itself seems a living tribute to Mr. Starkey. May you go far, Sina.

After watching them he said to us "that drummer is bread and butter of that group". I really didn't understand him at the time, as a young kid, but years later he told me what he meant.

I think one thing you must realize with Ringo Starr's skills is that his drum kit had basically the most rudimentary components, totally unlike what you see with modern drum kits with dozens of cymbals, tom-toms galore, etc. It's what he did with what he had was where the magic was.

[@johnwedgbury6817]

this is perfectly described. so innovative. i don't care if people think he was poor. i just know what i like. no other drummer in history could play "a day in the life" as perfectly suited to the song as ringo did. i love the isolated track of that. his finest moment for me. a leftie playing a right handed kit is so underestimated too, it's what makes ringo's sound so difficult to replicate.

[@jamesfetherston1190]

I think the number of drums and cymbals is irrelevant. A ton of hugely respected and renown drummers chose smaller kits. Plus he had the size of ket because he chose it. His contemporaries like Moon, Baker and Mitchell and others opted for larger kits with 7 or more drums, double bass and a host of cymbals. If Ringo wanted a different sound he would opt for some other percussion instrument, maracas, tambourine, congas or hand claps.

I played many of these songs as a 10 year old. Yes, headphones had been invented by then but being a 10 year old, I didn't have money for stuff like that. Instead, my Dad put in a speaker right over my kit so I could run down to the basement and start playing to the record, be it The White Album, Rubber Soul, Abbey Road or Let it Be. In 1968 - 1969, I couldn't even imagine what we have access to today! I learned quite a bit from Sina and confirmed what I've always suspected and that is, being a right handed drummer and Ringo being left handed, I never got even close to what Sina pulled off in this video. Great work and thanks for being a new generation of Beatles fans! (If you want a great read, try "The Beatles - A Biography" by Bob Spitz) Thank you! Great drumming! It's made my day!

[@robbes7rh]

Your point is well taken. Ringo wasn't just playing drums, he was composing a distinct and unique drum part for each original Beatles song that was arguably as important an element to the song's success as the vocals and guitar parts. The striking thing about the Beatles is how well they played together, despite personal tensions that arose. The primary binding element was Ringo's drum part. He listened to the nuances of the vocal and guitar parts and always managed to provide a complimentary percussion part that enhanced each song with a striking sense of musicality. He was as essential an ingredient to the chemistry of the group as was John Lennon.

[@weimarutube]

Best compliment I ever heard of a musician was: he never had a wasted note. I heard this about George Harrison but it also applies to Paul and Ringo. This is why they were so brilliant.

The Beatles didn’t really become the band we love UNTIL Ringo joined in 1962. He and then George Martin were the two final critical elements. Thank you for sharing your talent and for offering absolute proof that Ringo was and is one of the best rock drummers ever. I’ve seen other videos on this subject but you have easily produced one of the best yet! John Lennon always asked other drummers he worked with after The Beatles to “play it like Ringo” but they never could quite match him. This video helps show why that was so.

[@Jacobde13e]

All Beatles get 25%...

[@Bright_Light_Love]

@@Jacobde13e Most of the Beatles’ original songs are credited to Lennon and McCartney. They didn’t necessarily collaborate on everything, but legally they’re considered co-writers and they split equally the writer’s royalties on every one of the Lennon/McCartney songs. The majority of their catalog is published by Sony/TV, the largest music publisher in the world. (Sony bought ATV, in pieces, from Michael Jackson, beginning in the 1990’s and ending in the 2000’s.) There are a handful of early Beatles songs that are published by other publishers, including a few that are published by MPL, Paul McCartney’s publishing company. But 95% are controlled by Sony/ATV. All the music publishing income earned by the songs first goes to Sony/ATV-mechanical royalties, synch license income for use of of songs in TV and motion pictures (like last year’s movie “Yesterday”), music print licenses royalties, and other music publishing income. Sony then pays McCartney and John’s widow, Yoko Ono , who controls John Lennon’s estate, the songwriter’s portion of the royalties. The one exception is ASCAP/BMI royalties. I think both Lennon and McCartney were affiliated with BMI in the U.S.. In either case, performing rights royalties are divided into writers’ share and publisher’s share. The writers are paid directly by the Society they belong to. It’s the only music publishing income that they get directly that doesn’t first filter through their music publisher. So McCartney and Yoko Ono equally split publishing income from the Lennon/McCartney songs. George Harrison had his own publishing company (Harrisongs) and his widow is paid the publishing royalties. Ringo has a small company called Startling Music and he’s paid for the few songs he wrote, Music publishing income is completely separate from other income, such as record royalties. Beatles’ recordings still sell, in several formats. Paul, Ringo, and the widows of John and George are still paid royalties for Beatles recordings that are sold. The Beatles split their record royalties equally.

I believe John like to pressing out that Ringo not a flashy drummer type., which mean his technical and speed not extraordinary, but he had sharp instinct of rhythm and know the best how to blend in the song. that why his drum technique will never outshine the song but became the soul of the song. that's why George Harrison ever mention that Ringo drum play was ordinary, but they never felt the same when they play beatles song with drummer other than Ringo even though the drum beat from substitute player just as same as Ringo
