- Watch as among the world's greatest drummers, including Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, Stewart Copeland of the Police, Questlove of the Roots, Tré Cool of Green Day, Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, all salute Ringo Starr from behind his famous Ludwig kit, now on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland!
Ringo is so badass he gets a tribute video before he even dies
RIP Ringo Star, a boy from Liverpool
@@tombahma he’s not dead
@@mysticedge4 Benny Harvey RIP
@@mysticedge4 so sad to hear... RIP RIngo
@@mysticedge4 Rest In Peace Ringo, peace and love.
Everyone: Ringo does these complicated fills. He's a genius.
Ringo: I'm just a left handed person playing on a right handed Kit.
Jimi Hendrix: Only left-handed people are in their right minds.
Haha I read that in his voice
SonnyChenova that’s me in a nutshell
Ye I play left handed too
Ben Coldwell cool
About the only thing missing was a guest appearance by Ringo.
-walks on the set
“Huh, I recognize those”
I expected his own son Zack starky.
Frfr
Well they did have Paul McCartney's current drummer...
This was played at a tribute to him for his induction into rock and roll hall of fame.
For all the ridiculous disrepect that is thrown at Ringo from much of the public, it's says a lot that most great drummers love him.
Everyone who shits on ringo either doesn’t know how to play the drums at all or they just want attention or and they have no idea what they are talking about to me ringo is my favorite drummer of all time
@@OfficialCM11520 I'd say it's more about the perception of musicianship. If you're not innovative or some badass virtuoso nobody cares.
Who tf hates Ringo?!!
@@Lingcome I wouldn't say hate, but people definitely shit on him :/
Just listen to his drums! They are so authentic, its hard to find anything MORE authentic!
Everyone: Ringo is such an innovative drummer
Tre: he plays weird
Haha it's true. Ringo is a left handed drummer that plays on a right handed kit. That's why he leads with his left hand and it can look awkward. It actually helped him make creative drum parts, like in come together.
Innovative in Ringo's case = he didn't know what he was doing.
@@tommytruth7595 You'd be surprised but some of the best musicians didn't know how to tune their own guitars
@Cautious Rex Jeez, who hurt you, pal?
@@tommytruth7595 There is a concept in Zen Buddhism known as shoshin, which means “beginner's mind.” Shoshin refers to the idea of letting go of your preconceptions and having an attitude of openness when studying a subject.
When you are a true beginner, your mind is empty and open. You're willing to learn and consider all pieces of information, like a child discovering something for the first time. As you develop knowledge and expertise, however, your mind naturally becomes more closed. You tend to think, “I already know how to do this” and you become less open to new information.
They are all talking about him like he’s dead. 😂
I think his career kinda dropped when The Beatles separated.
@@nismo5807 photograph is a lit song tho.
So THIS might be the reason why google offers "Ringo Starr dead" when you type his name?
Wait i thought he died
He is just a living legend
Everyone:Genius, unique, distinctive drummer..
Ringo:I played what sounded good✌️😎✌️
Tré: weird
PEACE AND LOVE
Peace and love 😎✌️❤️🎶🥦🌈🦏🌺☮️
the most stupid things sometimes win
Drum go brrrr
RIP Taylor Hawkins. I can't believe he was the first to pass away, and so young. We need a tribute like this to him, as well.
So sad. Seemed like such a great guy. He loved music.
slumpeddddddd cunt unlucky bahhhhhhh eshay?
His person was better than his drumming. He’s a good drummer, but not enough to be deserving of a video like this, but hey if we’re gonna give Ringo a vid like this why not give Taylor one😂I mean he is a billion times better than Ringo…
It would've been cool if Ringo himself appeared at the end of the video and played.
Yeah, he would be willing, he's usually a clumsy showoff. Love Ringo.
yea he dead
NachomanRandySavage
You mean Ringo?
No he is still very much alive, in fact he got knighted not too long ago.
Well, this was made for his R&R HOF induction, so probably not.
"I mean honestly... if you're a drummer and you can do this... (plays Come together) and have people dancing.. then you're a f...ing badass".
I rewatched that part like 10 times lol
Dave is badass!
I love your videos
I noticed every single one of them played the riff on "Come Together" backward. I saw Ringo demo it: he would play the tom fill from the floor tom to the rack tom, explaining that since he's left-handed it was easier for him to fill that direction. Everyone in the video played it rack to floor. ;-)
Troy Martin - this is the second time I've watched this vid and I have thought the same thing as well. I believe you are right!
i’ve watched this dozens of times and i just now realized it’s in black and white
ja ja ja
OMG that's racist
This video also has interlacing which are those horizontal lines when somethings in motion, which were used back in older films but are now not used, it makes this video seem older than it actually is
I swear to god before I read this comment the video had color...what have you done
hugolafhugolaf How is it racist?
Why are they all saying "was" as if he's dead lol.
I guess its cause they're talking about his drumming within the Beatles
He ain't no drummer no more
He doesn’t do much drumming and touring anymore. He still writes and records, but most of his performances now he’s the front-man singer and has a full band with drummer behind him
As we all know, Ringo star doesnt age since he was 40, therefore he cannot die
@@vivaelbetis2086 yeah
"Give me a Ringo thing"
They all play the intro to Come Together.
Nice!
Or Strawberry fields or Good Morning....Oh yeah this!
ua-cam.com/video/sjb9AxDkwAQ/v-deo.html
yeah and they all play it wrong.
It's probably the only iconic drum riff made by ringo Starr having only 3 drums and 3 high hats
@@johnwedgbury6817 You're right, it starts on the big one and moves over to the small Tom. Watch Sinadrums, she does it the right way.
@@andrewtibayan5925 what are you talking about? the song Rain is a beat by Ringo probably the most beautiful beat next to here comes the Sun or I got a feeling maybe Octopuses Garden. you label them Ringo was so beautiful on drums man like 100% meant for that band
Fun fact: Ringo is a better umbrella player
Help! i need a drum set
not just any drum set
Lol
Nah. Preferred the static bike.
best horse rider of all time
@@debob3139 Pfff ! best octopus rider ! in his garden
Nobody listens to Beatles for mind blowing, face melting drum and guitar solos or badass bass lines, they listen for the songs, songs perfect from aspects, like a fine dish, with perfectly balanced ingredients. That's why they are universally loved.
Well I do... Ringo's drums on She Said She Said... George's solo on Something... Paul's bassline on Hey Bulldog.. just some examples.
You sir...get it.
I think that's why they've stood the test of time so well. At the heart of every Beatles hit record was a well crafted tune. They were above average musicians, but not world class... at the same time they were probably the best songwriting team to ever live.
'Yesterday' is the most covered song in history. That's not because of the musicianship - but the writing.
@@finlayson6868 I think Paul and Ringo were as good as it gets. I love their drum and bass.
@@sharpvidtube Probably the only guy was a better bass player than Paul was James Jamerson.
Sheila E on Ringo: "Once I sat and broke down his process on every single song, I couldn’t believe how his simplicity of playing drums was actually very complicated. I’d close my eyes and every time I got to the part of playing the drum fill he would already be there. It was then I realized that his approach in the Beatles was as if the drums were another singer.”
Simplicity is always the hardest to achieve.
Gosh! If Sheila E says so, it is so!
@@kcrossleKMC Well she IS a high-genius musician, so.. yeah.
Sheila E is not exactly threat either lol😂
Ringo Starr was the perfect drummer for the Beatles.
Perfect drummer for the perfect band, well said..
The beatles was the perfect members for the Beatles
@@dulcesolum boom tish
Because he did not drum on any songs?
*for the world
The only people who think Ringo is a crap drummer , are people who are not drummers ....
We'll you know what's worse than that comparing him to the other drummers who's really fast and have a different style like John Bonham like what the hell that guy is absolutely overpowered when it comes to drums this people wants to make Ringo look like he was normal drummer I hate when they compare those kind of drummers
I have yet to find a professional drummer of any genre who say Ringo as a drummer stinks. Steve Gadd, Danny Seraphine, Mike Portnoy - all virtuosos known for inhuman technique have nothing but love and respect for Ringo as a drummer.
bpabustan it’s hard to dislike ringo
@@dan-ho1zz you can say that again.
I am a drummer since age 6 and I think Ringo sucks. There.
1:53 Abe Laboriel : "It's that sloppy, swampy, falling down the stairs kind of sound..." That's the best description of Ringo's sound I've ever heard.
When you hear the drum part without other instrumentation, you still know the song. There's nothing else it could be.
What about the numerous songs where he does the basic 4/4 acdc beat?
@@connormichael2005 there are very few Beatles songs where the drums sound the same as another
1:10 Alibis by Asia?
I have a friend of mine who has been playing drums for about 25 years. When he first started learning, he said "I'm going to learn some Beatles songs first, they're easy!" When I asked him how it was going, he said "Damn they're a lot more complicated than I thought!" Now he has a lot of respect for Ringo's style, and if any of his students start talking smack about Ringo, he'll setup the drum kit the same way and say "Ok, now YOU play it". They all shut up after that.
Respect for Ringo, always.
+Mark = you nailed it perfectly...!!! THX BRO
Man what a story! Your friend is amazing!
the most difficult thing bout ringo playstyle is how to be the coolest soulful guy when hitting the drum.
Ringo plays a right handed kit but hes left handed. Its much harder for a right handed person to play his style because they have to break a natural barrier they have grown up with
The most impressive thing about Ringo was how he was able to keep time during those early Beatlemania shows. The girls screamed so loud and the acoustics weren't as advanced as they are now. An average drummer would have lost the beat and run the band off track.
george martin called him a human metronome; that you could put him to a metronome, leave the room with the metronome and come back half an hour later and ringo would still be perfectly in time. I read somewhere that during all their years recording it was only twice that ringo screwed up his beat (and even then only slightly)
In "Eight Days A Week" Ringo said that the only way he could stay on the beat during those ear-splitting stadiun shows was watching John's head bobbing and body language...amazing!
Dean Powers - he referred to the song progression. He wouldn't know where they were in the song because he couldn't hear but he'd see John wiggle his butt like he'd do or see Paul shimmy his shoulders like he did and then he'd know "ah, there we are". I would say that the only reason the others could play the song without hearing is because Ringo's drum was keeping impeccable beat behind them.
littlemissmello probably cause the beats are pretty damn easy
Michael Wigdor you just saw a video with some of the greatest drummer in the world saying that the beats aren't easy, I suggest you rethink that comment
I’m no drummer, but the thing that always impressed me about Ringo is that he did so much with such a small kit. Ringo has all these iconic hooks, and he did it all on that. Shits beyond impressive, dude.
That's all he needed!
Small kits are boring…
Two other small kit guys: Mike Shrieve and Jim Gordon. Not bad company.
"It's that sloppy, swampy, falling down the stairs kinda sound. It is the coolest thing ever." LOVE THAT...
Pretty cool when Will Ferrell was sitting at the drums
Bubby Speed good one
That’s Chad Ferrell, his cousin. Their dad is Perry Ferrell from Jane’s Addiction.
SOOOOOOOOOO ORIGINAL.
why are you so damn worried about someones joke being used before if it didn’t make you laugh just scroll on. Damn man I don’t need your negativity
Treyworld beans
I don't care who's the greatest drummer. If I find myself air-drumming to a song, that drummer is great in my book.
That's true! Now that you mention it, I've only done this to The Beatles' songs, and nobody else's
I only do air drum when i listen to metal
@@LHLMaE seems like you only know hear to beatles and nonody else
Matt helders comes to mind.
A few rh tunes too.
I remember watching Thomas the tank engine and I loved the narrator (which was ringo). And my mom would play me just one Beatles song when I was that age, it was octopuses garden. Then when I got older my grandpa reintroduced me to the Beatles, and I remembered octopuses garden when I heard it again. As I was watching interviews with The Beatles and Ringo spoke, and I realized that I knew that voice, I looked it up and the former drummer of the Beatles voiced the narrator in the 80s Thomas. That’s why Ringo is my favorite.
Same here! Surprised me when Ringo narrated for Thomas the tank engine. Grew up with him as the narrator.
@Mr. Shlock shut up dickhead.
@Mr. Shlock Lay off!!!
@Mr. Shlock What a troll. Go back under your rock, Mr. Schlock. .... Moron.
When you have drummers of this calibre come together and all say basically the same thing, you really need to take notice. Yet still there are so many talentless wannabes who think themselves really cool for saying "Ringo was so overrated." Yeah, right.
Damn CORRECT, my friend. Couldn't have said it better.
Coming from a drummer that's played Rush, Police, ELP, Deep Purple for about 21 years now, and has my own album out, he's not a very good drummer. From a musical/casual listener standpoint, he's exceptionally good, and his contributions to the songs were phenomenal. But from a musician's and drummer's standpoint, he's actually pretty bad. If you want to hear actually good drumming, listen to Herbie Hancock's albums, with Harvey Mason, Mike Clark, and Alphonse Mouzon, or any of the bands i listed above. If you want to listen to great music, but not very good drumming, listen to the Beatles. It's sad that Ringo gets gelded like he's the best drummer of all time, when numerous others, like Carl Palmer, Jeff Porcaro, Ian Paice, Tommy Aldridge, and the three i listed above don't get any credit, even though they're vastly superior.
@@jacksondolly3248 He might not be the best drummer technically, but he was/is incredible at having a great feel for the rythmical aspect without doing too much
@@galaxelen1152 I have a feeling almost any drummer could have replaced Ringo in the Beatles and they would have achieved the same success, but you couldn't put Ringo in Rush, Tool, ELP, Deep Purple or Toto. It was pretty much just amazing songwriting with some drumming. If you don't have chops and just rely on feel, you might as well just play along to a drum machine.
@@jacksondolly3248 I think everyone that you listed couldve played ringos parts when they were created, but none of them would have played it the way ringo did with his touch, and I mean just look what praise other great drummers give him. Also how does a drum machine have feel?
The best part is he did all that with basically a small drum set, compared to what you see thses guys banging on now.
RIght, but: I think a Beatles song doesn't Need such a big ass drumset to Sound great. But imagine a rush song with this Kind of drumset. That would Sound horrible. A rush song Needs this huge Neil Peart drumset because it's just another Sound. It always depends on what style of Songs you Play. Please kick my ass when I'm wrong :D
Rush songs sound horrible anyway. No giant drum set is saving them.
. Neil's style involves a larger drum kit, sure maybe you think Rush sounds awful, but you can't tell me that 'He's not allowed to have that style because uhhh fuck rush you could play tom sawyer with a small kit'.
I doubt a small drum set makes things harder, and I don't think a Neil Peart-sized kit makes things easier, it's entirely up to the drummer and his or her style. By your logic Meg White is the best drummer ever. (Meg is great btw, just a good example) I think you'd agree in the fact that a small kit or simplistic/minimalist style doesn't automatically mean good, and neither does a large kit/complex style.
Really the 'best drummer' doesn't exist, and it's completely possible that your least favourite drummer is someone else's favourite. My personal favourite is Phil Collins, in particular his work with early ("Peter Gabriel Era") Genesis. Lots of people hate Phil and think he's solely a sugary 80s pop-star, I don't really like his solo-work either to be completely honest.
Try doing this with a 4pce kit.

@@davygrohlington5576 - Of course Peart is an amazing technician...BUT...isolate his drums or one of his solos and you can't identify the song. Isolate Ringo's tracks and...oh, it's...I saw her standing there or Rain or Come together. Paul's bass tracks were very melodic and only a great drummer could compliment them. Drowning them out would ruin them. Just like sound waves, if instruments are out of tune they clash and negate each other. If they are in tune/mesh/compliment they augment each other. Ringo was a superb drummer for the various styles that The Beatles played.
I'm not a drummer, and I could never figure out how Ringo got _that_ sound from the high-hat. Thanks to Taylor Hawkins, I've now got the "washing the windshield" explanation, and it makes sense.
The Beatles fit together like a puzzle. The sum of the whole was greater than it's parts.
This band had 3 great composers. Ringo was the icing on the cake.
"I wouldn't be a drummer without Ringo" says the guy who is playing the drums on every Beatles song with Paul McCartney's band
He was inspired by Ringo so he wouldn’t be the drummer for Paul if he wasn’t a drummer in the first place
I guess?
@@lmaolol6276 But with how things would work out, he literally wouldn't have a job without Ringo haha
He wouldn't be playing drums to songs recorded with Ringo. End of story !
When it said “Salute Ringo Star” I thought he died and got worried
Same here
If only…
Every time youtube recommends this to me I get worried that he died.
"To play a Beatles song, you have to understand that the drums work as a fourth singer." Sheila E.
Tre is such an amazing drummer he doesn’t get enough credit.
You know what the pathetic thing is? Those that criticise Ringo by commenting that John said he wasn't the best... They don't even know that John never said that. They just hook onto one comment about John and they assume that it's all true. They don't cite any specific interviews. They don't link any interviews to back up their comment. They don't even comment when the interview was. They don't provide any evidence that John actually said it... They actually don't know that it was a joke by a relatively unfunny comedian called Jasper Carrott. They know nothing. They don't even mention any drum parts that Ringo apparently sucked on. They don't explain why he sucked on what songs. They do nothing! All they do is say "Oh, he didn't do drum solos. He was awful!"
You know what the funny thing is? Most of these critics have never actually held a pair of drumsticks! They've never played a drum kit!
John Lennon was a stand up comedian and also an asshole . that's why he possibly said that about Ringo. "He's not even the best drummer in the group" .. quite funny actually

Finally, tré isn’t running around like a maniac and breaking stuff
If tre broke ringos drums. I would burn all my green day albums. I love green day but beatles got me into rock and i can't like a musician who disrespects the beatles
What if billie joe possesed tre just so he wont break the drums
1:55 is probably the best analogy I've heard in my life
presumably there are other videos in this collection, but I only watch this one every couple of months for ever
It's incredible that they all play the intro of "Come Together", but nobody in the right way.
First the floor tom and then the tom, starting with the left hand!
really? Are you sure?
@@dreads9536 Absolutely. RIngo was left handed but his grandma made him use a righty kit so he wrote it that way because it was a little faster.
Ringo starts the Come Together tom fill on the second rack tom (he was using the blonde Ludwig set with two rack toms at the time), then he goes to the first rack tom and the floor tom, switching back and forth for the second half of the fill.
Thank you! The pitch goes UP, not down.
100% correct, ilgrinta86. I've seen Ringo play it in other vids, and it's floor tom first. Admittedly, it's easier for righties to play it incorrectly.
The most underrated drummer ever. They failed to mention. Ringo was left handed and played a right handed drum set. Some of those peculiar drum fills were his style because of this.
Tre did mention that he’s left handed in the vid... but all these clips are cut down massively so they could create a cohesive montage and combine all the similar things they all said about Ringo’s playing. I’m sure Chad was on that same tangent when they cut in on him saying “...but he would lead with his left hand”
they literally did lmao
I used to hear it from other drummers on the club circuit that I wasn't as technical as some but I sure worked a lot more than any of them. Good groove and swing was my reputation and it kept me busy. Also a left hander play a right handed kit.
Fair enough/each to their own but I would say Jaki Lieberzeit is a much more underrated drummer.
I understood what you did there yesssss
It's 100% true about Ringo's incredible ability to come up with so many unique riffs on the Beatles hit songs. Imagine "Ticket to Ride", "Come Together", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "I Feel Fine," and so many others without those classic Ringo grooves--they wouldn't be as iconic as they are without them. (Smartest personnel move in music history replacing Pete Best with Ringo--that move was THE key ingredient to the band's meteoric rise to international superstardom.)
Other Drummers: Wow this is so iconic
Tré cool: Yeah its pretty weird and corky
quirky
You guys should put up a longer version of these segments. I, for one, would like to hear these great drummers go into more detail.
YES it's very interesting to me and I love it.
+cajagato Yes, cajagato, a longer version without the one- and two-second images, which show and tell nothing!!
totally
Thank you. I, as someone who knows NOTHING about drumming, would love to see more information. The only drummers to me who've ever really stood out and made me take notice of drumming in a song (like a "holy shit, the drums in this song, though!") are Bonzo, Keith Moon, and Dave Grohl, so I love hearing this sort of information because it helps me (a piano player) become more educated and aware. I totally agree with you.
I'd watch drummers talk about Ringo for 10 hours
Funny thing is that all the members were scared of Ringo when he joined cause of his accent and as George said 'he just had a intimidating aura'
As Paul said: "He [Ringo] was a professional musician, you know. Refined. And here we were, just a couple of kids."
His accent?
he actually was in a gang during his teenage years, so yeah, must have been a pretty intimidating guy
I have SERIOUS DOUBTS that Ringo scared JOHN!!! (Or the others, for that matter!!). I think if John wasn’t scared, the rest would not be scared either!!
Yes and he had a beard during the Hamburg years which made them think he was a 'grown up'.
Ringo tied the songs together. I don’t think the Beatles would of made it so big without him. His style was so unique and he didn’t hog the spotlight.
Paul and George and I think even John have said that The Beatles didn't really start until Ringo joined.
I think this is maybe the key thing that encapsulates Ringo's greatness as a drummer. Most bands, you could take out the drummer and replace them with another drummer of similar technique, and musically, even if the band didn't sound exactly the same, they'd probably be just as good. But you take out Ringo, and it's hard to imagine the Beatles sounding as good with anyone else...
Seeing Taylor here so full of life as always talking about music with his usal passion and excitement got me teared up

"she said she said" is the ultimate ringo's trademark
Don't forget Day Tripper & Drive My Car. Ringo kicked ass on so many songs including many outside of The Beatles.
I know there are more songs in the video I only said the songs titles that weren't said before they were being played
You hear people say Ringo wasn't good, but it usually comes from those who don't play music. If you're a musician, especially a songwriter then you get to understand just how great he was. An amazing song drummer and created some of the most distinctive drum beats in history. Listen to that drum loop on Tomorrow Never Knows, highly creative for 1966 and sounds like it could have been done today. Also, little timing changes in songs like Happiness Is A Warm Gun and Here Comes The Sun, i think a lot of young drummers today would have trouble switching timing like that with such fluidity, or be as tasteful in the fills like in A Day In The Life. If you're a drummer playing in a band, there's a lot to be learned from Ringo about composing drum parts and play for the song, not just yourself. The Beatles were great musicians and writers. I appreciate the practice that goes into shredding instruments like some people can, but i'll take great songwriting over that any day of the week.
I love what you just said. Everything. You nail it when you say tasteful.
Even John Lennon said Ringo wasn't a good drummer.
Doctor Ryodine John Lennon could kinda be a prick sometimes...
As much as I love John, he was kind of a douche sometimes. Ringo is great.
Doctor Ryodine everyone knows it's compulsory for band members to make fun of the drummer. Duh.
The perfect drummer for the perfect band. Long live Ringo!
No they’re not the perfect band
@@playlistmaker90125
What do you consider the perfect band?
@@markmorris8532 Yes, but that’s just my opinion…
Jim Keltner said it best: what makes Ringo such a great drummer was he somehow knew the perfect parts to play in each song that PERFECTLY complimented the song. When it comes to his playing, he had no ego. His goal when laying down a drum track wasn’t to do a million fills that would turn the song into a chance for him to show off. He was just looking to play a part that somehow always emotionally complimented the song the best. Imagine A Day In The Life without those slow, plodding fills. It’s a different fill each time but each one somehow perfectly captures the sort of dreamy atmosphere that John’s verses were conveying lyrically. If I was a songwriter, that’s the kind of drummer I’d want to have.
And Keltner should know, that guy has played on a gazillion songs! Any younger people watching this should really look him up if not familiar with his work. And of course he’s been friends with Ringo forever
"slow plodding fills" on Day in the Life? When they come out of the middle section into the final third, Ringo is smoking.
Let's invite all these phenomenal drummers to discuss Ringo Star's legacy but only make a 3 minute video..
The fallacy.
It's okay, Keith Moon is objectively better, and they just want to make Ringo feel more respected with the passing of time.
no worries because ringo's band were objectively better than moon's 👍
jacks smirking revenge that’s subjective.
no x42 nope it’s the best opinion
@@Nick-nn1ql no such thing as the "best" opinion
Ringo came on the scene when the top drummer at that time was Brian Bennett of the Shadows... and he changed the history of drums. He was the icon of all icons. In addition he was friendly, good-natured, or easy to talk to.
Ringo is an icon, but I think we can all agree that the *real* icon of icons is the one and only Freddie Mercury
@@marleesuarez7162... WHAT ???!!! Freddie Mercury over Ringo ?.... Ringo sang like an angel !!!... his voice was angelic... m Freddie Mercury looked like his teeth wanted to leave his mouth, LOL
He is still friendly, good-natured, and fun to talk to. Always self-deprecating, a truly wonderful musician and person. I’ve only seen him perform live two times with the All-Starr Band and they were in my top five concerts of all-time. I got my son a ticket to see him in Oakland, CA and he loved him. He got to seen him later in the summer as a cameo appearance with Paul McCartney. I was quite envious. I had seen Paul perform in concert before, but to see the two together...
@@WSallai ... He is far nicer than the other three. Lennon thought he was God and, together with Yoko, formed a pair of boring farts. McCartney ? The same. Unpleasant, thinks he is God. Harrison was a bit better the other two. How do I know all this ? Simple. They are a;; over You Tube with videos like "PAUL OFTEN DREAMS OF LENNON" ha ha ha... or... George talks about Paul..... a bout Lennon... about Ringo who in turn then dream about the others. BORING !
@@ExhaleAir1 George has never been a bit better as a human than Paul and John. He's ALWAYS been the SAME pain in the ass. Just more quiet.
Watching the Get Back documentary it amazed me how focused Ringo was in the studio he seemed so locked in absorbing the creativity of the others then placing his own personal stamp on the songs with such a small kit these reissues really bring Ringo more front and center and that's a good thing !
Ringo had a signature "swing" in his playing ! One of a kind !
David Grohl kinda looks like that devil guy from Tenacious D.
He reminds me of the drummer from Nirvana....

@@jaggergale2540 They're actually called the Food Flingers
Tatsumaki yeah, he kinda does

Put it this way. “The Beatles” didn’t become the Beatles until Ringo joined the band. That’s how important he really is. If you listen to their early music in the Cavern, Ringo gave them the backbone and timing they needed. He was one swinging badass. But you really need to understand music to know this. It’s the casuals who criticize.
I agree. The more you explore music the more you appreciate something like this. At first I was like "heh, thats simple I can do that". Until I finally did and play instruments, what Ringo did was something else. Being a musician in a band isnt all about making the sounds. Giving what the band need is not an easy job
Pete Best was a good drummer. A beginner could play Ringo's stuff. That's how "good" Ringo was. Ringo is a joke.
@@joeymorvant161 A joke, that made the greatest rock'n'roll band of all times...deal with it.
@@OndraMike Still a joke...deal with that.
OndraMike ehhh i don’t know if you can call the Beatles the best rock and roll band.... best group maybe but they aren’t exactly rock and roll like Zeppelin or Sabbath
You know, lots of people now probably say, "this is not that hard to play, what does make him stand out!?" Yes, there are way more complicated techniques out there. Now. NOW, Carl, NOW. As was said, Ringo was gifted for suiting songs and invented quite a few the tricks we call normal now :)
He's not the only onetho.
And that's the problem. Sure, he played in service of the song. But so did everyone in this video, along with people who didn't, like bonzo, paice, stephen morris, tommy lee, the rev, meg white and ross federman.
@@connormichael2005 So... I'm trying hard to understand... Then... What is the said problem? That they said "he's great/at least capable, too"?
@@MoonchildMindaugas2 no, the problem is that they act like he's one of a kind, when he really isn't.
@@connormichael2005 Oh. I get it, but I didn't see that here.
@@connormichael2005 try to compose a better drum part for IN MY LIFE, STRAWBERRY FIELDS, COME TOGETHER, POLYTHENE PAN and GET BACK. Just try to do a better intro than SHE LOVES YOU.
I love Ringo and believe he's one of the most innovative drummers to come around in the past 50 years but he didn't come up with they rhythm to "Ticket To Ride." That was Paul's idea and Ringo, being one of the few drummers without much of an ego, gladly played it.
@Mr. Shlock Because we all know that The Beatles recorded everything in one take. lol
@Mr. Shlock Haha, my point is lost on you but unlike you, I do not repeat myself.
@Mr. Shlock Ever heard of percussion overdubs? They did exist even then. The only one where a session drummer was used was on Love Me Do, their first single, and Ringo had only just replaced Pete Best. George Martin didn’t want to take any chances so booked a session drummer and Ringo played tambourine, as you said. One song. It’s well known Paul played drums on a few Beatles tracks but having now watched the Get Back documentary it’s obvious Ringo is more than capable. His pattern on Get Back transformed it. I’d take the word of all the drummers in the video over yours any day. :-).
As a teenager playing the drums I personally did not look up to Ringo preferring instead to idolize drummers like John Bonham, Steve Smith and Dave Weckl until I started writing songs and playing in bands that required me to make up my own drum parts for them as that is what Ringo does best like the guys say in the film. Personally, he is my biggest inspiration in that way
Uhh I mean John Bonham is pretty great too
Srivikram Sundararajan - That's because Bonham was better than Ringo.
Ringo won't be able to play Zeppelin, Bonham won't fit in Beatles. Simple like that.
And Freddie was better than Plant at singing, what's your point?
Daniel Hernandez paul is better than john paul on bass 🤷♂️
ringo's drumming is a real definition of "putting everything in a right place". pure genius. not overdoing things. every beat just sounds right.
Indeed. With Ringo's pieces, nothing is out of place. Everything gels together.
He's a drummer who knows what the needs are. Its hard to be like that especially if you are a drummer in a band that records, you would want to do more to catch attention but you might just mess it up.
Anybody can do that…
Ringo was one of my major drum heroes when I started playing. And he essentially narrated my childhood too, so that's a plus.
Man every time The End comes on I just rock out to it. It just never gets old.
Ringo could dine out on that Come Together fill on its own,but he was the King of the fill and so many drummers (real drummers) appreciate the influence he had on every sticksman.
Phil Collins once said "no ringo? no beatles,no classic rock....NO MUSIC !!"
Exactlty!
@@peterwestall2285 Best comment!
He also did voices overs for Thomas the Tank Engine.
He was good at that.
Season 1 and 2
"He had the Magic Touch!"
Love seeing such iconic drummers heap tribute on the father of rock drumming, Ringo Starr.
I miss not seeing and hearing one of his most ardent fans, Phil Collins, who places him in his best 5 of all time. Another fabulous left handed musician who is grossly underrated as a drummer.
And the greatest thing, even now into his eighties, Ringo is still drumming and rocking. Rock on, Ringo! Peace and love ALWAYS!!!
Everyone: Ringo is such an innovative drummer.
Ringo: I've got 400 rings
And blisters on my fingers 😂
Spoken by true men who know their sh*t !
*shit
@The Wolf is Awesome !?!?
@Mr. Shlock Got any proof?
@Mr. Shlock No, send me a link, where it states exactly what you stated. Whatever it is what you said has no meaining as lond as you don't bring proof.
@Mr. Shlock I already told you. I want a link to that. Can't you find it? Are are you also too lazy yourself to find it?
Because I have diffrent opinion than you I am sod? You are the one being obnoxius. I have not said anything personal so far but you have been insulting everyone in this entire comment section who had diffrent opinion than didn't trash a musical legend. You are probably jelous because you didn't make it.
And also nobody gives fuck about your opinion either.
RIP Taylor Hawkins.
don't mind me, just watching this video for the 11th time
Wow his kit still sounds great.
This is his actual kit?
Elijah Ford no think its just a recreation but Ludwig is incredibly anyway
With Ringo as their drummer, the Beatles were steeped in Innovation and creativity - all four contributed to their unique sound. They became the 'four-headed monster' of Rock!
2:18
His t shirt says:
Juan
Pablo
Jorge
&Gringo
Lol
Juan
Paolo
Jorge
Gringo
It says Paolo instead of Pablo lol
I get it it's actually:
John
Paul
George
Bingo!!
Rest In Peace, Taylor. I know Dave is going through a lot and I hope you rest easy. 1:44
Just listen to the fills on “A Day in the Life” tells you all you need to know
Love the drums on that track
Might well be his very best
I saw an interview with Phil Collins and he said something like he would never understand how Ringo did a lot of his fills.
What’s the very last song in the video
@@njossas274 The End
Sure, he was underrated, but in actuality, Ringo was just as important as Paul, John, or George.
No One that's probably the single most foolish and debatable thing anyone's ever said about a band LOL
Abraham Stinkin coming from the idiot who's replying to a 2 year old comment.
I would put Ringo above George actually. I think the beatles without Ringo would have been worse than the beatles without George.
L Hauer yeah because the foolishness of it expires after 2 years. Brilliant. Excellent debating skills you have there, genius.
Tomás LOL
I can never get enough Ringo content. Wish the video was a hour longer.
I’m a guitarist but I always come back here a few times a year for some reason
It really annoys me when people who know nothing about music jump on the "Ringo was a bad drummer" bandwagon just because some douche said it 30 years ago. He was actually quite revolutionary.
Basic, anyone-can-play-it is not revolutionary.
@@joeymorvant161 Basic does not mean bad, complex does not mean good, you know nothing.
@@gitsurfer27 All your opinion. How was he revolutionary if he was so plain?
@@joeymorvant161 if you didn't watch the video your commenting on i'm not going through the points again with you, not arguing on youtube, last thing i'm saying to you, bye.
@@gitsurfer27 I watched it. Thank you for being kind. Hate it when people want to argue at the drop of a hat.
finally Ringo is recognized by extraordinary drummers. He deserves every word said here and more.
Notice how when they switched clips of each drummer playing Come Together, they all sounded different. It truly is the player, not the instrument.
And every single one of them was playing it wrong. Love that!
I love hearing drummers talk shop and knowing what they're talking about. I think the "Come Together" riff was my subconscious reason to start drumming.
Thank you for explaining why it was not just John and Paul who made them magical.
*cries in George*
George left the chat
No, all 4 of them each contributed to making magical songs
and also George! thats why the stones call them the 4 headed dragons, all of them are equal, good at their own right🙂
how can you forget george harrison? he wrote the most iconic song of the beatles "here comes the sun"
Many people are not aware that drummers "play notes" that can change according to where they hit the drum. It was Ringo's ability to play "in tune and in time" with Beatles songs that made him the right drummer. Just listen to what they sounded like in 1962 before Ringo, at the big knock back when a record company failed to take them on. Then hear them after 1963, an amazing transformation.
It speaks so much to his legacy and brilliance that all of these drummers from so many different styles of music, different eras, different backgrounds, all know Ringo's parts by heart.
Rip Taylor Hawkins, Rock in peace 🤘🏻🕊️
I love the bit about that "falling down the stairs kind of sound." What a perfect way to describe it. I also love that they all start doing Ringo body language just by drumming like him, with the head wagging back and forth. It comes pretty naturally when you're aping his stance, left-handed on a right-handed kit so you're not crossing over. Very cool video. I feel like all these guys could talk about this a lot longer, and I'd love to see it if they did.
What’s the song he plays when he gives that comment
Toke Merstrand None in particular.
Well, when I've watched Max when he was on Conan, and he'd kind of "do" Ringo as part of the Max Weinberg 7. I'm not a big Bruce fan (gasp! heresy!) so I don't know what his style is/was with E Street.
Ringo was initially the mascot for the Beatles. Most popular in 64. He defined that British Invasion look and cheeky personality. Hey he was the focus in their 2 films. Nothing pretentious, just a very likable guy and the drummer for the fabs. Happy 75th birthday. I so happy we still have him.
This is one of those tributes that will make you feel high & inspired. Truly, Ringo provided the DNA of a drummer.
I love this video! Thanks! I don't know how I missed it until now. Ringo is one of my all time favorite drummers! Indeed, I agree with the shares here from the wonderful great drummers in this video that Ringo totally has a feel that's like no other. He knows when to be tight, he knows when to be sloshy. He never played more than he had to yet always had wonderful little signatures that were great hooks to your emotions, to your heart & soul. His style is so wonderfully orchestrated and spot on with what the music is portraying. All these years later Ringo would probably tell me I'm diving to deep, I just play my kit. But I say he broke through the drummer's role and crafted becoming part of the audio landscape. The Beatles never would have ben "The Beatles" without him.
I have been playing drums now for more than 50 yrs.. my main influence to even pick up a drumstick was Ringo.. I saw him on Ed Sullivan and BAMM I decided this is it.. this is what I want.. before Ringo I tried piano, guitar, trumpet, accordian, ect ect,.. but suddenly I got a pair of sticks in my hands and that was it.. and it was so powerful it carried to my son who is now in his 10th yrs of playing.. other influences were Buddy Rich, Buddy Miles, Gene Krupa, and a ton of other drummers but Ringo has always been on top..HE IS DRUMS
Great Words Man👍
I knew I was drummer in 1957...age 5....when Ringo showed up I knew what kind of music I should play. When Keith Moon showed up I knew how I wanted to play it. After that I still played strict-tempo, dance music from the 20s, 30s and 40s with the knowledge that Ringo and Keith were in there. In 1978 I found my Bassist and Keyboardist. Two years later my singer guitarist, Three years later my Lead Guitarist. Turned pro in '85 and never did anything else but play, produce and teach music! I am one lucky bastard!
Just woke up to the news that Taylor Hawkins passed away! I remembered his part of this video. So sad 😢
One of the things I've always loved about Ringo, is that he always looked like he was enjoying himself when playing the drums. I've always found it fascinating to watch a drummer work their way around their kit.
It doesn't matter if he's not the best drummer in the world... Everybody loves Ringo!!
I love Neil Peart, Keith Moon, John Bonham, to name a few real great drummers.
Yep, Ringo is one of the best drummers of all time. I don't need anyone to tell me that but I'm glad these other drummers give him such props.
@Mr. Shlock get lost.
Wrong
been watching this video for many times, still love it seeing how all those legendary drummers saluted ringostarr!
I could watch endless hours of drummers going through all Ringo’s beats. This should be a show
