World's Great Drummers Salute Ringo Starr 

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.

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.

I expected his own son Zack starky.

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.

Tré: weird

PEACE AND LOVE

Peace and love 😎✌️❤️🎶🥦🌈🦏🌺☮️

the most stupid things sometimes win

Drum go brrrr

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

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 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!

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…

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 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!

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?

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

Or Strawberry fields or Good Morning....Oh yeah this! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sjb9AxDkwAQ.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

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

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😂

Help! i need a drum set not just any drum set

Lol

Nah. Preferred the static bike.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

@Francis Serra Sounds like he’s a genius drummer!!! And maybe also has THAT 6th SENSE!!!

You can actually hear this in She’s so heavy. In the first loop at the end riff you can hear George rushing horribly but Ringo plays an ounce louder to get him back on track.

@@GojiraFan25 FANTASTIC!!!!

i read the book written by the engineer who commented on every track they recorded, and he confirms what you observed, that there is no record of any take ever breaking down because of Ringo

@@pkoven to be fair man.... Beatles songs are not hard..... The simplicity is gonna provoke lack of error

That's all he needed!

Small kits are boring…

Two other small kit guys: Mike Shrieve and Jim Gordon. Not bad company.

Same here

If only…

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

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 !

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.

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.

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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eBuHIuayHiA.html

@@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.

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

And blisters on my fingers 😂

quirky

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

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

LittleSweaty Monkey John Lennon never said it. It was a comedian known as Jasper Carrott. That's why no one can link evidence to John actually saying those words

+LittleSweaty Monkey he never said it. Total myth. Ringo played on Lennon's first solo record.

Scott Reed I hate that people use that quote, and never back it up and never provide a source to prove John said it

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

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?

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

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'.

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...

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.

@@GoodMenstruationAttitude lmao his grandma made him *write* right handed, not make him play on a righty kit. He just happened to learn and play drums on a right handed kit.

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

No they’re not the perfect band

​@@playlistmaker90125 What do you consider the perfect band?

@@markmorris8532 Yes, but that’s just my opinion…

This is his actual kit?

Elijah Ford no think its just a recreation but Ludwig is incredibly anyway

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 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.

Juan Paolo Jorge Gringo

It says Paolo instead of Pablo lol

I get it it's actually: John Paul George Bingo!!

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.

Love the drums on that track

Might well be his very best

Don't forget Day Tripper & Drive My Car. Ringo kicked ass on so many songs including many outside of The Beatles.

Great Words Man👍

Please!

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.

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.

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.

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.
