I'm a child of the 80s. But as I learned the drums. Ringo and Doug Clifford of CCR were my drum teachers. They taught me how to keep time. How to play for what the song needed.
Finally a complete footage of a beatle recording a Beatles song! Finally! I just dont understand why that video is not in the official beatles or ringo channels
He really only used tea towels for a brief period. He started using them regularly during the Lady Madonna and Hey Bulldog sessions and into the White Album in 1968. And then continued to use them into the mid 70s, maybe around 74 or 75.
Ringo is such a gift to music and to the the world. To think that he's been playing in bands for +/- 70 years, always holding the rhythm section together and keeping front line right on time. I love how he holds his sticks rather loosely while slappin' the sh* t out of those skins, never missing a beat, rock steady and suddenly flourishing. Ringo is a genius and it's no wonder he has so many millions of fans ✌♥ .
Shakin' a tambourine (11:31) continuously for that length of time is NOT that easy. The repetition can be VERY tiring, because you're mainly using the wrist.
Guy's got wrists of steel. Drumming from 1954/55-1964 gave him some serious guns...after that he was *easily* the best-built Beatle. Look at Ringo now: those ropy 83-y-o arms are as strong as titanium!
I still wish they would’ve kept the original bridge of this song. The “I don’t wanna lose you. Oh no” part that was on the original demo. I’ve found a couple remixes of the song where it was put back in.
Looks like a bonham maple kit. That looks like a 26 bass. Wow! Those are very BIG drums. Loud too. Go ringo! Just got my LM-402 snare and love the beast!🥁
It's a shame the camera doesn't have a limiter... I mean it probably DOES, just the fellow using it didn't click the button and has it set for conversational levels. Eek.
I think I remember Giles Martin saying he took Ringo’s drum recording and played it through speakers in Abbey Road studio two to get the room ambience. Generally don’t like GM’s mix though, everything is too loud and he killed all the dynamics/separation. His dad would have done it very differently I think.
Giles did not mix Now And Then, it was Spike Tent, Giles only did the Atmos version after the stereo was done, and it sounds a lot better (it still was limited because it has to be very close to the stereo one) Had Giles actually mixes Now and Then it would probably sound a lot better
Sadly, Giles had no control over the mastering, which is where a lot of the dynamics were lost. The mastering on the 12" single has the most natural dynamics.
@@EltonoutoftheclosetOfficial really? I’d be seriously pissed off if I gave a mastering engineer a nice dynamic mix and came back squashed to hell like that.
@@404TVfr yes, I didn’t realise GM only mixed the Atmos. I still think the stereo mix must have been pretty compressed before mastering, that’s a brutal job the mastering engineer has done if not.
This is the way music is recorded these days. Rare to have everyone together. My bandmates all live in the same area and we do it this way. Incredible, right?
I tolerate my electronic Drums only b/c I live in an apartment. I miss and have a blue Ludwig Vistalite kit so a bit jealous of the FULL SIZED Drums here. wah
How do they have a (presumably) professional engineer there and not know how to run a line from the mixing console to the camera audio input? So we can hear what's being recorded instead of only using the camera's mic?
he's still very solid. he's not going to play like when he was 20 and complete a whole album in one day or nail a full song in one take like used to, but he's fine.
Paul said he thought he could do it better. Ringo used brushes on the backing track (though some footage does show him using sticks too. Maybe the drums sounded too 90s Lynne?
These videos can be dissected only from who & what the creator of this kindof sound chooses to share with the audience only to be a little different every time never played The exact same way,its pure genius drummer..
@@jckhammer I never claimed to be any of those things . I play music because I enjoy it . That's it. I was just giving my opinion . Is that OK with you ?
I can't believe how old- they are and look great, are healthy, and bust and active, after long careers and lots of parting young. And I am in My 50's and.....😢
It’s NOT a Beatles song. It’s a John Lennon song. Stolen by Macca to make more money for him and maybe the others. Had Lennon not been killed, that song would NEVER have been a Beatles song. Get over it, people. Get your title right!
