After seeing Ringo in Get Back my admiration for him grows and grows. He was the quiet patient center of the band. He really listened.

@joesandri8185 2 жыл бұрын

As a great listener, Ringo intuitively passed down his listening (and drumming) skills to his son Zak Starkey. Zak’s godfather and sometimes babysitter was Keith Moon. Zak also learned a lot from Kenny Jones. Zak ultimately became The Who’s longest-serving drummer. And he is a great fit who can channel much of Keith Moon, but also hold his own.

Not every Beatles song…….Paul came up with about 30% of those parts, including Ticket To Ride and Come Together. Edit: Paul also played the drums (vs. writing the parts and then showing Ringo) on Back In The USSR, Dear Prudence, Martha My Dear, The Ballad Of John & Yoko and Old Brown Shoe. Heck, IMO the best guitar solos on Beatles records are Paul’s: Taxman, Sgt Pepper, Helter Skelter, The End (I like his solos on The End better than John & George’s). He’s also the only Beatle on many songs like Blackbird.

The thing that made Ringo so great is that he plays for the song, not just for the sake of being a great drummer. He doesn't create busy, complex compositions but instead creates beats to enhance the overall feel and melodic of the song, sometimes giving even more spotlight to the bass or guitar. That takes not just an enormous amount of creativity but incredible humbleness, and just general awesomeness!

No, not incredible humbleness or enormous creativity. Just feeling wat the song needs, or if not accepting the verbal leads of the others to do this or that. I have played with some guys, and it has got to do with creating a collective amazing sound and enjoying the experience. The analysing is more what outsiders do, or the musicians after having recorded it and liking it a lot or trying to improve it in the next session. It seems that four people with a passion for melodies, lyrics, singing, beats can realise with some help of Martin or others 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24 instead of let's say Ed Sheeran solo 6.

However, Ringo playing is very very difficult to duplicate and i can now see what an integral part of the group he really ways. Plus, he is one hell of a guy.

if you were to start playing drums by emulating a drummer, Ringo is the perfect drummer to try to play like. his beats may be basic and simple, but sometimes that's exactly what's needed. Ringo's playing style compliments all the other players and that's the best kind of drummer to have in my opinion. I've been drumming over 50 years and Ringo Starr was my earliest and best influence. Later on it was Danny Serafin of Chicago.

@caddelworth Жыл бұрын

I totally "get it" about being a leftie and playing a rightie kit. I'm a leftie bass player, but DELIBERATELY learned on a right-handed bass (but _played_ left-handed), because I hoped one day to own a double bass (and eventually did!) - and how many _leftie_ double basses have *you* ever seen? Correct: NONE. So, having the bass strings 'upside down' compared to 'normal' means that my licks, like Ringo's fills on his right-handed kit, are just _different_ from other bass players' licks. Hence, like Ringo, what I play is sometimes seen as 'unique,' or at least different from what other musicians would play.

My favourite story about Ringo having a bit of accidental genius is the lack of drums at the beginning of Hey Jude, there was originally a drum part. Paul McCartney said in an interview a number of years ago that they started the take, however Ringo's drum booth was behind him and he didn't notice Ringo had stepped away to go to the bathroom which was a few meters from the drummers booth. Paul noticed partway through the first couple verses Ringo was rapidly tiptoeing back to his kit, and started drumming a little less than a minute into the song. Once they listened to it they realised that was way better than what they originally had in mind, so they kept that take :-)

I've played Beatles songs with a few drummers and tried to program drum patterns in the computer, and they're just imposible to play as he played them. There's this elusive element that you just can't put your finger on and gives the patterns a distinctive groove. Maybe it's being left handed and playing a right handed kit, but how do you play that? funnily enough, Paul played drums on some tracks, because he probably could nail Ringo's left handed feel.

I am never impressed with what I do in life artistically. Others are amazed, but hey, it's what I do. No big deal, it's easy for me. People ask if I can teach them. No, I don't know how I do it myself! Do something and I can tell you what you need to do better. Talent can't be taught. Talented people can be guided, or find their path on their own, like Ringo did.

The genius of Ringo Starr is that he did what was necessary, and not what a lot of drummers do, which is show off, thereby destroying the balance of the rendition. He was not only a technically brilliant drummer, but knew what was needed to add and subtract from ' the recipe.'

@jimatyeo Жыл бұрын

When I started as a drummer my big influences were Buddy Rich, Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham and Buddy Miles. It wasn't until a few years later that when I quit playing in a band and just jammed at home with a lot of different types of music for fun that I started really admiring and digging Ringo's playing. My band went from 1969 to 1976. The Beatles music for us was considered a bit tame since we were playing Hendrix, Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. SO later when I wanted to see just how many types of tunes that I could play along with, the Beatles were a easy choice, along with the Stones. SO it was then when I realized Ringo had that weird a swing going on. Since we had no internet or other venues of learning it took awhile to get the hang of it and really appreciate his style. I now count him as one of my favorite drummers. Plus he just seems like a really down to earth gentleman. I still haven't got that shoulder thing down though. :)
