    A great song. I especially like the last few minutes with Paul going crazy on his bass, the guitars sounding evil, and the drums doing their nice groove.

    People love to diminish Ringo's accomplishments because he wasn't a songwriter like the other three and he wasn't technical. But god damn they would have not gotten to where they were without Ringo. He was a song drummer. George said Ringo only needed to hear the song once and he knew what to play. That's incredible.

      I 100% agree! Ringo was the key to their sound. Really tied all the songs together with his groove. Always played exactly what the song needed.

      yep.. and he sang lead vocals on some songs, starting w/ "What Goes On" on Rubber Soul, Honey Don't (written by Carl Perkins) and Everybody's Tryin' To Be My Baby.... some folks also don't know that George and Ringo wrote Photograph together

    Great cover. I like how in the outro Ringo's fills start off as simple ones and they get progressively more and more like a crazy Ringo fill were he starts off on the Tom leading to the snare and so on. Brilliant.

    This is great. What's so interesting is that listening to the record, it feels like Ringo's playing gets really wild near the end, but seeing the parts, he's really maintaining the groove, even in the fills.

    • @davidmontis7259

      It does seem like a rather odd fill. It’s unlike anything Ringo has played, but that is how it was played. I wish ringo played more fills similar to this. It seems rather stiff, but it is a very cool fill.

    So good watching you play its spot on. Approx 1.03 into the song is that an odd time signature?.

    • @davidmontis7259
      @davidmontis7259  2 роки тому +2

      There are time signature changes throughout the song. When Lennon sings “driving me mad” going into that build up with the organ there is a measure of 2/4 (or 6/4 depending on how you count it). I think 2/4 is easier. So just count two beats instead of 4 during that measure. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting!

    • @davidmontis7259
      @davidmontis7259  2 роки тому +2

      Certainly. There are four mics used in this particular video. The hi hat has a Pyle PdMic78 as well as the snare drum. The snare is miked underneath (a common recording used by the Beatles at this time). The mic I have on the kick drum I’m not sure what type it is. It was given to me by a friend and I never looked up the exact model. The overhead is an audio technics at2020 placed about 4 feet above the kit.
      The drums are:
      Snare - 5.5x14 black oyster snare
      Hi Tom - pearl 12x10
      Mid Tom - Ludwig Classic Maple Black Oyster 13x9
      Floor Tom - Ludwig Classic Maple Black Oyster 16x16
      Kick - 22x14 ludwig classic maple black oyster.
      Cymbals:
      20” Zildjian Avedis Ride Cymbal
      18” Paiste PST7
      16” Zildjian ZBT
      14” Zildjian Avedis Hi Hats.
      The stands are just the pearl cymbal stands I got when I first obtained my pearl drum kit. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for commenting!

    • @davidmontis7259
      @davidmontis7259  2 роки тому

      I think it depends on how loud you have the track. When I uploaded this video, it did get a copyright claim but I was still able to upload it. So I recommend turning the track down, or in some other songs I’ve done, I added a slight touch of reverb or pitch the track down. I usually do a half step. It’s altering the track just slightly that allows you to get through UA-cam blocking your video. So try those things and you should be able to. Hope this helps.
