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')
This is the official 'Silver Beatles' Website:

The Silver Beatles’ Recordings are available on Spotify, they are launched under the name

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!!!
As someone once said, "Most drummers play the drums. Ringo plays the song." Thank you, Sina! Thank you, Ringo!
Brilliant.
Xactly, Michael. The drummers role : keep time, and play to the song. 👏
@@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.
@@dude-fw7xt As Eric Clapton said about George Harrison, George really new how to follow the songs with his leads, the Beatles were One.
Amen! You can tell what the Song is just by his drums.
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.
This...
Good words!! Sorry my English///
don't forget that during live concerts, he could not hear John, Paul or George. He would watch Paul's foot tapping to get the beat, which was always spot on.
What does the 2 mean?
That’s a brilliant analysis
I've been a Beatles fan for 57 years. It does my heart good to see someone your age who gets it. Ringo was awesome and so are you Sina.
Join Ringo Paul stage
Ringo always plays exactly what the song needs.
Like her drumming. Like her respect for Ringo.
me too, and Ringo even is very inteligent, he allways knew, what he did, he not was just a drummer, to me he is brilliant and it's good to take him as an example, especially such a still learning youngster.
Very talented young lady.
I love her accent.
You go girl!!!!
Ringo junior. :)
Ringo have a conductor's mind!
The best thing about Ringo is that he gave the song exactly what it needed, no more, no less
Yes!, Ringo lived in the song...except for Glass Onion
Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones is the same way... Charlie's timing is Impeccable .
Incredibly just enough to make him great not 1 beat more...
I thought that Ringo was great! I don't know why they kept him off of the "Famous Drummers" list.
@@NormAppleton that's because Glass Onion sucked. Haha
As Paul McCartney himself said, once they found Ringo, the Beatles were! There wouldn’t have been any Beatles without Richard Starkey. Thanks for this video-tribute, well done!
Ringo was the last piece to the puzzle. He made the Beatles great. Pete Best was a terrible drummer. They needed Ringo to be a complete band.
That is a very enlightening observation! I love it! Thanks, bud!
@@yellyman5483 terrible is a bit rudely said,However i agree Ringo was million time better and perfect fit for the band
Ringo put the ‘beat’ into the Beatles…what else can be said? 🤷🏻♂️
@@stevematchett5518 He absolutely did.
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.
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.
@@Charlesbabbage2209 Everybody was impressed with the EverIy Brothers, and the BeatIes said they were.
Holy shit, I can't believe how recognisable his drumming is. The first one She Loves You blew my mind thay it's so easy to recognise
@Dean Morrow oh yea, Come Together is insane too, absolutely recognisable
212 x
it's recognizable cuz it's remarkably bland.
She is the One
@@colin5115 Fuck you
I hope someone lets Ringo and Paul know of this wonderful musician
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.
@@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.
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]
@@FRN2013 Do not trust Wiki. It's useful but not always reliable. You can check about this matter from other more reliable sources like Marc Lewisohn books or The Beatles Bible website. There were no evidence at all about Ringo leaving because of Paul's criticism.
Ringo wasn't just a DRUMMER ...... He was a MUSICIAN - an ARTIST ...... in Classical Music the percussion parts are written down, just like the parts for the violins and flutes .... It was Ringo's disciplined understatement which seamlessly became as irreplaceable to the Beatles' songs, as the tympani and cymbal crashes of the great symphonic overtures of an earlier time..... God Bless our Ringo!!!! and as always - a FABULOUS JOB by Sina
Ringo was the worst of the four Beatles.
Wonderful to see a young person have a deep level of respect and understanding of this music
Yes Indeed !
So true and very talent.
In GET BACK, the documentary, we can see Paul asking Ringo about what to do on GET BACK rif.
All that guys were a genial conjuration to make our lifes better.
Congratulations Sina.
You are a real symbol of respect to the art of playing.
Wonderful to see young persons with natural beauty.
I've heard Ringo praises before, but now I have a better appreciation for his work.
Great fit fir the Beatles.
Sina , as a boy born in Germany in 62 , I came to the USA in 66 back to Germany in 72 and back to the states in 74. I started playing at age 7 in 69 . By age 12 , I was playing clubs , by age 20 opening shows for Narvel Felts. I've played with many of the worlds greatest musicians and in 1999 became a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. 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 . May I say from one deutchlander to another , I'm proud of You , keep making music and stay grounded. Stay humble and be yourself . All the best to you and your family, sincerely Bernd ( Ben*Ben ) Adler.
Well, that's impressing. He actually ignores the Hi-Hat almost completely and concentrates on only three extremities. I tried it and it works perfectly. Now I even understand why I never could play a Beatles song on drums, because I did not understand the concept. Many of the comments below are speaking right out of my soul ... thank you for this great video! 🥰
The Beatles were very lucky to find Ringo, and they've said so themselves. The man knew the power of silence, and how to fill it best.
Charles W, I believe Ringo was chosen by a higher power to be the drummer for The Beatles. It was a destiny.
The great secret of good musicians - and good drummers especially - IS silence.
It’s not about skill or power, it is about art.
Truth - nailed.
enda ingat Drumming
his approach was orchestral
If skill doesn't matter, and art means what we feel, then I am the greatest drummer ever.
So you are saying they were doing great despite his playing ?
Thank you Sina! That was awesome! As a 73 year old rocker from Los Angeles, and a friend of Jeff Porcaro, and speaking for him (may he RIP), you are a great, solid drummer. Music is in great shape with players like you and your friends. By the way, I'm a huge Beatles fan, and probably saw your dad with the Silver Beatles.
I am now a huge Sina fan. Keep on rockin!!❤❤❤❤❤
What amazes me is how Ringo changed from a good drummer in the Beatles early years to one of the best in the world in their mid period. Being left handed actually created his unique sound.
Only one Ringo ...👌
Ringo was already a pros pro by the time he joined.
Thank God, they didn't keep Pete Best. They would not have progressed nearly as far as they did in such a short period of time. Best was only mediocre. It's ironic that his last name is "Best".
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
SuperMartins13 I agree. A lot of people lose sight of the fact that his drumming was an integral part of their overall sound. They would not sound like the same band with any other drummer.
Has anyone ever said: Ringo did the right thing at the right time and not a lot of things all the time@@MsAppassionata
SuperMartins13 you are spot on!
🎹 we are.
Various circumstances prevented me from seeing them live. This made me an attentive listener, to them and to rock'n'roll in general@The Mystic Fez
Ringo deserves this tribute well done Sina
As a person in their mid-60s who has been trying to teach themselves to play the drums for the last year; I found this more eye-opening than anything else I have seen in some time, really cool. Thank you very much. rock on, peace and love.
A worthy endeavor on your part
Im 70 and just took up the drums on the advice of my physical therapist. I had a serous stroke a few years ago and finding something I can do has been a challenge.
@@kevinkelley5014 keep up the good work Kevin !
I watched a full segment with this wonderful girl. I've been telling any Beatles fan or drummers to watch/study/admire this young heaven-sent person. Thank you Sina.
Watching these kids play the Beatles just about brings me to tears.
I grew up with the Beatles, and these children are proving that there will always be Beatles, covered and recovered.
How fortunate I was to grow up at that time!!!
Amen !!!
I read a comment on another YT channel which had a great classic early 70s song (don't remember which atm). The comment was: "Back then we thought all music would sound like this, and be as good in future. How wrong we were."
@@3rdstone1 So very true. Music has been going downhill for quite some time now. Have you noticed current music barely has a melody, if at all ?
Loved your reply. I've been a Beatlemanic since Feb. 1964. They meant/mean the world to me. My cover photo with me in Beatles shirt is a testament to my fandom and devotion.
Peace is how we make it.
Jas
@@jamesanderson348 James, are you talking to me (John White), or 3rdstone1 or even Stephen Mayo ? I can't tell ... I like that hat.
This isn't a cover video. It's not a tutorial. It fits neatly into no category at all.
I was held enthralled for every second.
I don't trot out the word 'genius' very often, but today, I can't resist. Entertaining, educational, and moving, all three - a brilliant presentation entirely worthy of its subject.
It was excellent, wasn't it? She's a top drummer and has the potential to be a top documentary maker and presenter. In fact, I reckon she's one of those rare people who'd be damned good at anything she put her mind to..
You are very good yourself. Greetings from America
You hit the cow bell on the head. I clicked to save this and then didn't know which folder to save it to; so I created a Sina folder as this is so unique. My granddaughter will arrive this afternoon and she will love it.
Right on, Urgelt and jjajmb above! Fathers and grandfathers of daughters and sons alike around the world give slow satisfied smiles.
Don't forget to show your girls the tribute group that grew into its own thing - the Bangles. Some great moments in their music and they play and sing it all too. Having mostly survived the heady excess of 1980s LA, the expectations of young women in pop and the unrelenting star machine of 'the Industry', they continue to play and fly the flag for intuitive teamwork and blend in their musical arrangements.
Love all your work, sina. Keep 'em comin'.
I’m 67 years old, now I am encouraged to learn how to play drum upon viewing this video😊… kudo’s to this young girl Sina… who inspires other young people and old people
Until you break down the layers of the Beatles' music, you don't always appreciate the level of raw talent those four guys had! Amazing job! I am always in awe of people who can produce such musical art! Beatles forever!
I first heard Sina, collaborating with other young artists, performing the Abby Road B-side medley. I was blown away (and infinitely happy) to see & hear young artists paying tribute to THE greatest band of all time. 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. You have an appreciative fan for life. Keep on Rockin'!
Ringo is a great drummer . and so are you young lady absolutely nailed every part
welshster71 perfectly put. U r cool 👍
He was not all frills . Just a solid Drummer . I love Ringo..since He joined beatles to this day Big smile on his face..He just loves living ..
Plus That Young lady is just brilliant
welshster71 we don't know if it was ringo playing various songs.i never seen ringo get down on any video.also,there are claims that ringo in fact did not play on the studio recordings.
then who was that man on the Ed Sullivan show, or playing at Shea stadium ???
@@burtshort9900 Claims? I've seen him play these songs, that's my claim.
Ringo isn't a show-off who hogs the performance. He drums for the feels of their songs which is pretty impressive actually.
Like Keith moon (:
Nah jk he's a legend
You got that right Miguel!
No he doesn’t, he’s shit
@@MoskoGaming Like the Muppet drummer - "I Eat Drums".
Spot on. He has humility, unlike so many drummers. He serves the song, not himself.
Ringo’s drumming is perfect, great time keeper, and knows what worked! Excellent!!
So good. Ringo was the unsung hero of the Beatles. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront.
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.
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.
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.
Great point, Norbie... I've expressed the same to many others.
So happy to see this. I'm so tired of this running joke that Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles let alone the music world. The man was a genius percussionist and played for the song rather than his ego. And a hell of a guy on top of that. Long live Ringo.
so true! And especially sad that this quote is also put in the mouth of John Lennon, although he never made this statement about Ringo
I recall repeating this joke to a Beatles loving friend, and now regret saying it. Especially in light of young Sina’s amazing demonstration of Ringo’s unique drumming talent. I stand very corrected! Although I was just being provocative, I will apologise to this friend the next time I see him. 🙏🏼
Sina, my sincerest appreciation and compliments to you! You are clearly a very talented musician, and have a lovely attitude about music. I wish more musicians were like you! I've also enjoyed your excellent performance on your In A Gadda Da Vida cover video. It has been my pleasure to follow your videos!
Sure, fanboy.
And he’s been married to Barbara Bach for over forty years;)
Brilliant! Playing some of Ringo's best rhythms to a backing track turned down low is one of the best ways to highlight what a great drummer he was. Respect to the drummer too- well played.
That's why I love Ringo because he was always understated in his presentation. He didn't need to grand stand to get attention.
Ringo's drumming is disparaged by many musicians, but hardly ever a drummer. Sina is a case in point.
REAL musicians don't criticize Ringo. Ignorant You Tube viewers do though.
Only those who don't KNOW disparage Ringo. THE BEST is a silly way to sort talent. But he is my favorite drummer.
Could listen to Sina cover Ringo flawlessly all day long. I never, in all my years of listening to the Beatles, realized just how utterly unique a talent Ringo was as a drummer. How could I have never realized that? So very happy I came across this amazingly talented young lady who was able to show me what I’d somehow been missing all my life.
If you listen just bit more deeply you can hear the drums very clearly in every song of them
In my books? Ringo is inside the top three of all Rock percussionists. He's with Bonham, Moon.
@@hanscyrus 👌🏻 you're right
true dat..Paul said that the Beatles became the Beatles when Ringo joined
I think you might not have noticed because of just how well he can sit in the song and play along rather than doing anything flashy
This is a spectacular breakdown. Sina - you are immensely talented and I'm sure Mr. Starr would agree. Thank you for promoting the best drummer in rock history
This was emotional for me. This young lady is extremely good! Thank you.
All your parents should be extremely proud of you girls. To see yet another younger generation be passionate about the Beatles is fantastic!
I can’t get enough of them. I’m learning drums, bass, ukulele and piano atm and you can only learn from the best. The Beatles are without doubt my favourite band :) I’m 14 and just the other day me and some of my friends were arguing about the meaning behind ‘hey bulldog’ only to google it when we got home and find that Lennon said it was just a good sounding song that meant nothing lol. Everyone knows them. Not everyone is a fan obviously, but people generally respect them regardless of if they are a fan or not. Me and a fairly large group of my friends are pretty obsessed with them atm. We’re all 14-17 in age. But they’ll just go down in history. Like Beethoven and Tchaikovsky they’ll be remembered forever. I’m personally pretty into any music but I’ve recently taken an interest into 50s to 70s music especially, I often talk about musicians from around then that most people nowadays don’t really know of. But with out fail everyone seems to know and have listened to at least a bit of The Beatles which is honestly pretty damn impressive. Especially for the fact I’m Dutch lol.
@@goodlord370 Great for you girl. you have a great taste with music. old music is better that today's music darling. i'm 19 but i'd much love listening for the past music than the music today. ;)
The Beatles songs bring peace. ☮️ world peace 🌍
Beatles is forever
There is a film that's going around at the cinemas two days ago. - Yesterday, about a boy who remembers all the Beatles hits. No one around him Seems to know them
The key to Ringo was humility. Having met him and spending time with him in the green room before a concert I can tell you, a class act humble guy!
A very important observation. His humility was the foundation for everything he did.
This is a wonderful exploration into some of Ringo’s drum techniques. It’s quite rich and you go deep into the subject. It’s a versatile presentation indeed and you play so marvellously, Sina. Also, it was nice to see the band clips included. Many thanks for this generous and helpful service!
That's what I love about the Beatles as a group. None of them really pushed themselves forward to grab the spotlight musically, it was always about doing what was necessary to make the song as good as possible.
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.
@James Weimar I absolutly agree. All members of the Beatles were like a sculptor, who just take the essence of what a great song need and omit all the rest. I think this is the genius of all true artists and creators.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I clicked on this video. So glad I did. Sina, you give me hope for the human race! Damn, you're a good drummer!
Thanks so much for the examples of Ringo's drumming, and his musical intelligence.
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!
I have just been watching Worlds greatest drummers salute Ringo.
They all play "Come Together" different to you, they go clockwise, you go anti clockwise.
I have just watched Ringo playing it and he goes anti clockwise. Your strive for perfection shines through.
Hi 5 watt world
Actually, Ringo doesn't really go anti-clockwise in Come Together. That clip of him playing is not the same - he doesn't remember correctly. Just listen to the drum iso...
Here it is slowed down, repeated. www.dropbox.com/s/prprdznpnd3x31s/Ringo%20slowed%20down.mp3?dl=0
He starts on the the high tom, but leads with the left hand. Keeps his left hand hitting the hi tom, then works in the second tom (twice), then puts the last bang on the floor tom.
There are some other surprising fills in here. Note he sometimes just hits the same two toms repeatedly. Just lead with the left hand and it becomes clear!
Here are all the fills from Come Together, repeated and spliced together. www.dropbox.com/s/hxdb6ixm0ls10gs/Come%20Together%20repeated%20fills.mp3?dl=0
Clear as mud. Good heavens far too techie for me. However you seem to know what you are talking about.
In one of his videos he explains the difficulty he has in going clockwise round the kit playing Come Together.
He said it is due to him being a left handed drummer who plays on a kit that is set up right handed. To the naked eye it appears Ringo is going anticlockwise, as does Sina, coping him to the letter. Showing, not only her talent but desire for perfection. @@dcaccavo1
Ringo the master tailor who stitched the Beatles songs together like no other could.
Beautifully put.
Excellent definition!!!!!!! Agree 100 %
@@tjcint Thanks John!
@@manfredkranz1910 Thank you Manfred.
This is the video that introduced me to Sina Drums quite a while ago. I imagine it popped up because I had viewed so much Beatles content. Your videos have brought me much joy. I love your dad too. He's probably a little younger than me, but I also have a daughter who grew up listens to and loves The Beatles. We Saw McCartney in Nashville before she joined she left home to be on her own. I've rambled on enough. Thank you for all the great music.
Excellent post Sina. You show real maturity in your understanding of what makes Ringo so good and how he contributed to the Beatles signature sound. You are also a truly excellent drummer.
This video really captures Ringo’s genius, “Taste, tone, musicality, and feeling.”
You are such a good drummer and what a nice tribute to Ringo Starr.
Thank you Sina for making me appreciate a drummer like never before. While you give great honor to Ringo, it is your talent that amazes me. You Dad must be so proud!
One of the best breakdowns on Ringo's drumming I've seen. And the girl can play. Well done.
Hopefully she and Ringo have met. Maybe get an All Star Tour gig. Never know.
I'm 70...grew up with the Beatles music in India. Even copied their hairstyle in 1966, tried them on my guitar, but couldn't get any better...So its so nice to see you all young ones doing so good...I watched your video this evening, felt so happy and now I sincerely wish you a very journey in music. GOD bless you, your talent and enthusiasm!!!
Hairstyles don't suit guitars & my music is better than my humour, honestly!
Enjoy your Beatles.

Quincy Jones know a lot about music and he says Ringo sucks.
@@SleazyNice if that's true it means Mr. Jones is clearly limited in his scope.
@@SleazyNice He also said McCartney was the worst bass player he'd ever heard. Mr Jones was most likely doing some kind of dope when he talked all that nonsense, haha 😂.
Absolutely spot on.
@@EBiurrun dude, Geddy Lee does everything Paul does, but objectively better.
I never really notice the talents of Ringo thank you for waking me up he is really something
You are a damn fine drummer, Sina! Brava and thanks, you do Ringo really well.
Great to see the younger generation loving The Beatles and expressing it in a youthful way! Well done and an excellent upload!
Dang! Beat me to it. I was 11-12 when the British invasion hit in '63-64 and experienced ALL of it from a pre-teen to early teenage prospective. It was truly a magical time. I remember going to our "picture show" in the small one screen theater in Dequincy, LA, USA in 1964 to see our heroes in their first big full length motion picture "A Hard Day's Night". I was a male Beatle fan, but not a maniac; just a big fan. Remember those days fondly in the 6th and 7th grade.
I always knew he was an underappreciated drummer, but when you put it this way you realize how impressive he was. His drum parts were simple but so recognizable.
It may look and sound simple, but it's actually not easy to reproduce the same sound.
And unique
Thank you, Sina - you continue to educate and inspire us all with your amazing talent/performance and research!
A seriously talented group of young woman with great respect for the great talents that came before them! I'm sure you will all develop your own unique styles and sound and certainly become greats yourselves!! With ladies like you in the business rock will never die!! I'm almost 70 and certainly appreciated and love what you do as a music lover and audio engineer myself myself!!
Ringo had some classic and unique arrangements in his songs. Even the Phil Collins acknowledged he was a great drummer not in a technical or speed sense but in rhythm. You're presentation is fantastic. I am now a subscriber.
finally found the correct interpretation of Ringo Starr skill on drums., it's true that lennon said Ringo not even the best drummer in The Beatles., unfortunately most people had been mistaken that statement. 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
Any drummer will tell you what an interesting and unique drummer Ringo was.
Liebe Sina, DU...BIST...GROßARTIG.
Vielen Dank, für diese tolle Story über Ringo starr. Dank Leute wie...dein Papa, du, Ian und all die anderen, bleiben solch große Musiker unvergessen. Dank euch, haben auch Jugendlichen von heute und morgen die Chance diese kennen zu lernen, zu genießen und zu leben so wie ich es seit meine Jugend tu. Danke.
@@bangwaraka2664 it was Jasper Carrot, the English comedian, who said that Lennon said that.
*Your presentation (possessive, not a contraction of "YOU aRE")
i can't tell you how much it touches my heart to see the clips of all you young talented artists playing such beautiful songs. thank you for helping to keep this incredible music alive.
I second that emotion, johnny333! These kids interpret without parroting, and they bring new life and soul to already brilliant music. How do they do that?!!! All they need is love, I guess. And judging from their singing, playing and interpretations, they have plenty of it!
This is by far the best explanation & appreciation of Ringo’s great songwriting on the drums I’ve ever seen. The demonstration is so clear & straightforward, showcasing the inventive intricacies of Ringo’s musical work for the Beatles, as delivered by what appears to be a very skilled & well-rehearsed drum goddess.
I gave up on listening to music in the late 70's. I have never heard of this young woman. Hearing her play, and listening to her speak leaves me in awe. Hat's off to you and your talent. And your obvious love for what you do.
Sina this is the first time that I have commented on one of your videos. My dad was a jazz drummer for over 40 years of his life, had three separate trios while I was growing up, and hated Rock and Roll. He wanted to watch The Beatles when they were on the Ed Sullivan show to see what the excitement was all about this group coming from England. 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. Today's video reminded me of that moment back in "63" and brought great memories of my time with him. Thanks for the video and the memories.
Nice story, Mike. Thank-you.
Mike Hanks what did he mean?
February of '64 is when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan.
I think Sir Ringo Starr was the innovator of less is more in drums. Well done!
It was about the song...not about a 10 minute drum solo....
Very enjoyable, it is also generous of you to share the “limelight “ with other young talent!
I would like to see more of this particular group!
Of all the songs, while my guitar gently weeps, fills me with such nostalgia. A lot was happening that year it came out and I think that's why it has such an impact on me. I'm an old man who remembers all those years ago and appreciate you and your effort to keep it alive!
As a drummer myself of some 50+ years..Ringo is unique. A brilliant less is more and always the perfect fill for the song. Incredible feel, timing and use of toms. He may not be Buddy Rich, Tony Williams or John Bonham etc. but he is Ringo and that's all need be said. He's been my teacher and I love everything he does. He's the living proof that feel and unique use of the kit outweighs speed and even rudiments...he's a natural and no-one else could have given The Beatles the feel that he did.
Was waiting for that - LESS IS MORE - comment.. as the old line goes: Hey ya don't get paid by the note...
150% agreed; in my opinion one of the best lessons for any musician is to serve the song and Ringo in my eyes is the epitome of that when it comes to drummers.
Martin, totally, totally and absolutely correct. Well said that man!
Very well said! I love Ringo’s drumming!
Believe it or not Led Z had to do a lot of takes with Bonham b/c his timing was off a LOT!! Bonham may have bee able to hit the drums very hard but where is the style?
I never really rated Ringo, but this video has opened my eyes (ears) to his talents. 👍
Amen to that.
Murray Marshall Indeed!
what a great video... i've never really focused on Ringo's drumming, but you really show what made him special. As you say, he came up with something unique and even identifiable for each song. That's a great talent. Thanks for the lesson!
Edit (because I wrote the comment before the video was over): you play "while my guitar gently weeps" really amazingly, the slow down after the first motive was perfect!
Been into The Beatles for decades...& Sina has absolutely nailed it! Well done & well impressed!!! 👏 Keep shining!
Thanks for keeping the Beatles music, and especially Ringo's incredible drumming contributions alive. I'm 65. Respect.
I'm 70, even more respect :-)
I'm 60 and grew up in a musician family, raised mostly with classical music and jazz playing all the time. Until my dad discovered the Beatles.... Then I'd hear Bach, Beethoven, Charlie Parker, Beatles, Bartok, Miles Davis, Beatles, etc., etc.
Say hay Jay. You were four when the beatles made their first recording, "LOVE ME DO" . I was six, oh don't we wish we could go back? Thank you Sina and company.
@@ClearTheRubble7 65 and still alive.
What's up with all the mentioning of age? How does it matter..?
The Beatles are hands down the most popular band of all time. As far as Ringo goes, he's a big part of what made the number 1 hit songs unique and great! Sina does a wonderful job explaining, & demonstrating his creative contributions that helped make The Beatles so popular. For me, he's just as important as John, Paul & George.
Love the way you break things down to the basic structure. I realize now that half of what I was doing was not correctly played but thanks to your amazing teaching skills, I will be able to correct all that. Look forward to more of your video's. Thank you for sharing.
I love to see young people who love the Beatles, I was eleven years old when I first heard them and I still love and believe they were the best.
You cannot play drums with the greatest band ever without being brilliant yourself. Ringo was and is still... brilliant.... I listened recently to Abbey Road... Just listen to Ringo's playing.. It is fantastic. The Beatles wrote such a wide variety of music styles and Ringo excelled on every track. .. Well done young Lady
FFS. Never proved themselves as a 2 hour live touring megaband.
@@johnnyrocker7495 Shut the hell up. You're obviously another bitter Stones fan. And actually Ringo does perform regularly for two hours with his All Starr Band.
@@Revolver1981 Not with The Beatles though. Shit drummer from the most overrated band of all time. Tough shit if you object. Have a nice day.
@@johnnyrocker7495 Anyone who says The Beatles are overrated obviously knows nothing about music. The Beatles have had the biggest impact on music in history.
@@Revolver1981 No they haven't. You're a blinkered fanboi. Most overrated band of all time. Recorded more shit than anyone else, Yellow Submarine, When I'm 64, Octopus's Garden etc etc etc. All shit. Not even a proper Rock band.
I hope that RINGO feels thoroughly honored after watching SINA's tremendous tribute here to The Best Drummer Ever!🥁👏
SINA, Thank You for reminding music lovers about RINGO's musicianship!❤🥁You do Ringo and ALL OTHER DRUMMERS proud!🥁👏
Really??? Nah Stewart Copeland is the master of percussion 🤘🤘🤘
Ringo? Feel honored by this? Naah....Sina should feel honored for doing it. I sense she does.
Sina, You tell your friend singing "Something" that she has a beautiful voice and uses it well... soft and strong when needed. I hope she continues to sing from her heart.
Oh you're great too, as Ringo say's Peace and Love.
It's simply true!Something, btw for me is the one of the most beautifull song ever written!
Wonderful video! Marvelous tribute to Ringo. Thanks so much for putting this together!
Thank you for a well deserved tribute to Ringo with your own considerable talent in demonstrating it. This is the best tribute to Ringo that I’ve seen anywhere and I know that many of us are grateful for the effort that you put into it. Many thanks and respect for your fine work.
YES! It's clearly helped having access to those Beatles tribute band recordings but the one vital master stroke here is the decision to showcase the part alone and then allow it to blend into the backing and then out again. THAT is genius teaching.
Just shows how much this family understand that pop n rock tracks ARE about ensemble and that it's the blend and cross-support of the part each instrument plays that makes great arrangements and tracks that last for decades.
Considerable is a word meaning think on or about it. Best, well deserved and talent in your comment is great. I would love to hear what made or helped Sina be that good. Her dad's tribute band, that would be a treat. OMG, ya, if she could post some of that, what a treat so much closer her talents would be to and for us he must be awesome, she is, thank you Sina, Jaydn and company.
@@raymondblodgett2912 possibly you meant "consideration" as considerable means "large amount of"
Wou ... this video makes me happy. Young Girls plays The Beatles with a big feeling .... super ....I am 71 years and know Beatles from the beginning. This here is a good work.
This, Ringo and Sina are fantastic. Opened my eyes.........and ears
So, sooooo well done, and the first super fair show-&-tell on Ringo!! Love you all!!! One great vid and talented girls!!!
I saw an interview with Paul McCartney where he talked about when they first added Ringo to the group. Paul said that Ringo was the first "professional" drummer they had ever had and the difference was like night and day. With other drummers, you never knew what you were going to get. They might be fast, or slow during various sections of a song, but with Ringo, he was always right-on tempo consistently throughout any song he played. And he played as a part of the group to make the sound better, not to show off what he could do.
So my dear friend Mr Gary White Why didnt Paul take Ringo in Wings and why doesnt does nt he use Ringo instead of Ab Laborial jn. Ab too is a good solid player. Let me know
@@joesmith34 Sorry, I don't have an answer for that. I was just relaying what I heard. Sorry to say, I don't recall where I heard it, but it may have been at Ringo's hall of fame induction.
Joe Smith the wings isn’t as experimental as the Beatles so ringo wouldn’t have worked as well, and ringo had his own band, and he played with John
@@joesmith34 10 years together, then after the breakup everyone wants to do stuff on their own, currently Paul has his band and Ringo has his's. They are still great friends and they still play together sometimes
How about Pete Best? Pretty sure they kicked him out just because he was out shining them.
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.
Wow ! So much to say about this video. Firstly everything you say about Ringo is so true and brilliantly demonstrated. But what most impressed me and warmed my heart was to see so many talented young musicians performing the songs of the Beatles so wonderfully. It's just great to know that their music is still listened to, performed and enjoyed by a new generation of youngsters. Long may it continue !
Thank you, i really enjoyed watching.
Tons of respect to you wonderful talented young ladies and tons of respect to Ringo. 🤩
Other reasons Ringo was essential to the Beatles: he could play the same tempo over and over without a click track, allowing the Beatles to piece together songs from different takes. He could adapt to the different directions John, George, and Paul were experimenting with, with George's Eastern style music, for example, completely different than John's hard rock. The other big thing is the left handed/right handed thing commented on in the video. All that said, Sina seems just as good!
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.
That was excellent! Very informative. I am a long time Beatle fan and musician. You have it exact and his being a “leftie” on a right handed set, changes everything. I had a Ludwig blue oyster pearl set, way back when. Your set is awesome. Keep spreading the word and music. The Beatles are the best.
I can't begin to express the amazement I feel in each video I watch - What an incredible tribute to Ringo - the perspective is brilliant!
12:45 is so sweet! You know it is amazing. I am 68 years old now. With the opening chord of "A Hard Days Night" my life began and The Beatles influenced my life ever since. I learned to play guitar, I studied at the music conservatory and became a professional musician. Now I am retired, I watch this video and see that 55 years later The Beatles still are influencing young people like you.
They were 4 stars perfectly melted together to one super band, and they changed the world. I was a witness, I saw how they changed everything. For those of you who are young people now - you can hardly imagine how strongly they changed the world. It was less than 20 years after the end of World War 2 and the world - especially Europe - was still in kind of a shock koma. The Beatles finished it and began a new aera.
That very chord is impossiblr to emulate. There is work from the other musicians involvedbut mostly inaudible. I feel the most similar thing l came up with is G7 presing the second string, 1st fret: C.
12:45 You are absolutely right. I could not of said it better and any Beatle fan would agree with you.
Auto tuning is terrible, just like that cover
Your songs indicate that Ringo was about musicality of the drums rather than just backbeat or supportive percussion. Excellent tribute. Keep on drumming!
Hi. I've seen you playing drums in the "Abbey Road Medley" video and want to let you know my admiration about your ability in playing so perfectly those songs I've been loving since The Abbey Road Album was reeleased here in Brazil (1969, too). Thank you, heartily, for sharing your musical skills in video with us, Beatles' fans around the world, Sina.
