Ringo is a phenomenal drummer. Definitely not #1 (I give that spot to Neil Peart) but his drumming style fit the beatles’ type of music very well.
Am sick of people questioning Ringo Starr people forget he's left handed but always plays a right handed kit I love to see a right handed drummer play a left handed kit it's not that simple Ringo is a great drummer his beats are consistent and precise people go back to Lennon saying he's not even the best drummer In the Beatles which people didn't realize it was a joke on Lennon's part it's scouse sense of humour all drummers should watch Ring with Dave Stewart playing ticket to ride
Play back speed I tried sucks Play normal
Ringo is adequete musician , know to fill drums quite well as needed
Yeah the Beatles would have sounded differently without Richard
Ringo is one of the best drummer alive!
Beatles were NOT Heavy. They were shitty pop
Excellent explained! Congratulations!
It sounded like country song…. 🥁🤣🔊
Bro was having a seizure 😂
Ringo is a left handed person playing a right hand kit. Right handed drummers find it difficult to replicate some of his fills.

I think honestly some people just go off of the 1 or 2 songs they hear on the radio that get way over played, and automatically assume that's the entire catalog, when most of the time, it's only a couple songs out of 100 that are basic.
They don't even bother to listen to any other songs from that band. I had a dude try to tell me Five Finger Death Punch was nothing but a cover band. But, they actually have recorded way less covers than a lot of other popular bands out there. Check out their catalog, and you see maybe a small percentage of it is covers.
That's a fact Ringo is an extraordinary drummer. Perfect timing, very creative. He created loops that never been played before. Can you imagine performing at the Shea Stadium and couldn't hear the guitars because of the crazy noisy croud and kept the tempo? Ringo did that! And you only mentioned how Ringo kept the rythm in those two songs but tell me about his creativity in Come together, In my life or tomorrow never knows. Ringo is the most versatile drummer who ever existed and he is still performing at his 80 something!
DUDE, so true. Shuffle and swing beats are a quick way to kill your forearms for the night haha
Ringo can't even play seven nation army
Who said that Ringo sucks, I'll fight them.
The best drummer ever is the drummer who plays exactly what the song calls for.
You have to be fuckin kidding. That's the easiest shit I've ever seen. I haven't played drums for a long time but I guarantee I can pick that up inside 15 mins.
I'm sure Ringo's tossing and turning at night over this 😂
Does Ringo suck? No.
Is he impressive? Also, no
Because Ringo wasn't a shitty drummer. He held back and played simple beats because that's what the music called for and the industry was pushing towards. Same thing with Tommy from crue, listen to their early stuff then their later stuff. Early stuff had lots of chops in it. Vs later stuff all straight forward and simple.
Well, controversy will always surround what rings really played on the albums …
Did the audience get up and clap for you too?
Want to hear the drums isolated on Come Together? Check this out: https://youtu.be/jR2i1FE-Zio. Very cool.
That’s awesome.
i've always said to the idea that ringo is not a good drummer, especially when the speaker thinks the other three are awesome….why would those 3 admitted awesome musicians literally choose to work with a drummer who sucks? it doesn't make sense.
We deserve the challenge like that in 2023
Back in the high school days I had this director who made a focus down beat of measure 4 and measure 5. There were days where that was all we played, "Down beat 4 and 5th measure" To this day, I know the exact timing of down beat of 4 and the 5th measure. Just because something is simple, doesn't mean it isn't hard. When we went to UIL, that one tricky part, we did not mess up. People sometimes get simple confused with easy.
He does suck it easy to play that early stuff
Ringo is the most solid drummer ever. Your drummer needs to pull his head out of his ass. Tell your drummer to see if he can play the drum part from “ I Feel Fine” and then you will see that Ringo doesn’t suck. The actual genius in Ringo’s drumming comes in his creation of the drum parts. Originality and with great meter. No click tracks in those early Beatles days. Ringo is very coordinated and with substance. Ringo inspired everyone. Hands down.
I've always seen Ringo in the top ten of drummers…and I would think WTH!
Thanks for opening my eyes and ears!
People base everything on complexity and don't realize that not every situation calls for that.
you should have chose she said she said! or rain
When people say "in the pocket" I think of Ringo. I remember one TV special from the mid-90s where Ringo, George, and Paul get together to catch up and jam a little bit. George and Paul were joking about a jingle for an old commercial. The whole time Ringo is sitting on his drum throne, leaning back against the wall behind him, and laughing along.
Then George and Paul start to find and play the song on their instruments, and right on beat Ringo comes in on the snare, then leans forward from his reclining position to continue playing. He didn't lean forward and prepare for his part. He was relaxed leaning against the wall, then pop! pop! and into his part as if he had been practicing the song for the past week. He was always so smooth and relaxed in everything he did.
He's probably no Neil Peart or Danny Carey – or maybe he is, and that's just not his style – but he is still leagues beyond most drummers.
Hi !
I'm not a drummer (used to play sax and flute in "old" jazz styles), but one of the best lessons I received from a master (Jeff Clayton, an alto sax player) was… a snapping lesson. Yes : finger snapping ; say, on the after beat (like the hip jazz aficionados do).
The most important notion is that one should keep it in a CIRCULAR MOTION , not – kind of – a linear to-and-from movement.
To be more accurate, the best way to keep the beat is to give it a WAVE FORM rather than going straight back-and-forth.
Elementary, you might say ? Well, the good drummers I observed did this perfectly with their dexter arm and hand, while the other side seemed less flexible. All drummers would improve their playing by ensuring both their limbs (even the four of it) to adopt a wave form ; but it applies in other situations too, particularly in dancing…
(Some drummers thanked me warmly for this remark… Don't ; it's freebie =:o)
for not being a drummer myself, I was always amazed with Ringo Starr, particularly to the one song Come Together. How he could do that beat with the drum set he had was like magic to me (my late teens was in the early 1980's and heavy metal)
get your friend to sing it at the same time as his drumming it
There's only one word to understanding Ringo Starr drumming "Amazing".
He is Left Handed playing Right Handed Drums.
Good video man that was hilarious Ringo rules
Meth Beatles
Four years ago this young lady described and demonstrated why Ringo is NOT just an OK drummer. Have a look at her video, you'll see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NCczct2ZIM
This is such a weak argument. Why? Ringo has played the song thousands of times by the time it is recorded, he is used to routinely playing the shuffle. You ask someone who has never played it to play on the same level as someone who has played it thousands of times. That is never going to work. You give your drummer friend 3 months of playing it every day, I am sure they would become very bored with it. But, if you give your friend a solo by one of the greats like Buddy Rich, etc. he will not even be able to come close to playing it well or Bonham or Purdie or Peart, etc.
Yes you had confirmed Ringo sucks
If the Beatles had gotten a right handed drummer the songs would of all been genetically good. The fact that Ringo was actually left handed made alot of the songs more creative and interesting. He mention on a talk show that some missed beats were do to the fact he was left handed. By missing some of these beats on certain rolls is what made them that more creative. A right handed drummer would have genetically sound good, but not have that creativity that Ringo added to the songs.
