"Leaving a hole is as important as filling it" Ringo. This should be taped and played 24/7 - even while sleeping - to the majority of drummers. That is precisely why Ringo is so different and so much better that most.
That's why people who don't know music don't think he's a good drummer. Like all the Beatles, Ringo was the consummate musician. That doesn't mean being wildly technical or flashy. It means that the music always comes first. ALL the Beatles always played to the song and they were always driven to play together to the point that none of them stood out. The song stood out, not the individuals.
Ringo is/was a song drummer and an inspiration to me and my playing, especially in recent years. Sometimes less is more. Knowing when NOT to fill is just as important. Playing appropriately for the song. This is the most important thing I've learned as a drummer.
Jim Keltner is amazing to watch. Just something about the way he moves. This Concert for George, Bob Dylan Anniversary, Concert for the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame, Neil Young live at Red Rocks - I never get tired of watching him play the drums.
"He is so fluid. The rhythm runs down the canvas." Ray Cooper "It is that sloppy, falling down the stairs kind of sound, it is the coolest thing." Abe Laboriel, Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Different words, same meaning.
That was the last time I saw Ringo playing drums like it was 1970. He played as good as he did in the concert for Bangladesh. What a great drummer he was in his youth
Jim Keltner is my all time favourite drummer (apart from Ringo and Ginger Baker) Jim is a melodic player, his drumming is emotional and has a depth that no other drummer...his work with Ry Cooder and John Hiatt is so beautiful..just amazing..
Ringo, like Levon Helm, understood that drummers play to the song, not for themselves or to show technical chops. He played drums like Stevie Wonder, not look at me drummers like Neal Pert or Ginger Bake or Buddy Rich. I love Bonham and Peace and Gadd, and Purdee, but Ringo created over 300 Beats that supported his band mates. It’s like comparing a shredder to B.B King. I’ll take BB
Whoa….I never knew what Jim Keltner looked like without sunglasses. It’s almost like being a kid and seeing KISS without their makeup for the first time.
The Concert for George is one of the finest musical performances ever caught on film. Any time that I need to calm my grandchildren (ages 2 & 3) I sit them on my lap in the rocking recliner and we watch Give Me Love, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, My Sweet Lord, Handle With Care, Something and Here Comes the Sun. They are true Beatlemaniacs and don’t even know it yet.
When you play sloshy and haven't made a lot of money you suck, but if you play sloshy and make billions of dollars with it someone will describe your playing as "like water colors that run down the page" haha
I'll admit to my lack of sophistication, but I've never seen the benefit of more than one drummer (and a percussionist) at a time. I'm quite sure there is both an art and science to it, but it's redundant to me. I thought the same thing while watching the Allman Bros or Doobie Bros back in the '70's. Both Ringo and Jim are legendary for similar and yet very different reasons. Love'em both. Respect the playing of each.
2 drummers playing together is a unique experience. I've done that myself. Basically both keep rhythm, but one does most of the 'heavy lifting' with the fills, depending on the respective skill levels of the drummers involved.

THANKS for mentioning it because I was about to. I can't stand him. He's got Jim Keltner and motherf*cking Ringo on both sides but he still wants to be the loudest and the one people look at. What an egocentric jerk.
I think he was there as he was part of Erics band at the time along with Chris Stainton who was at the back of beyond with no solo time at all, but Erics musical direction was fantastic.
I'm guessing it's Henry Spinetti as the third drummer here. Two percussionists and three drummers on this track. You gotta love it. Other drummers also performed at Concert For George including Jim Capaldi, Phil Capaldi and Steve Ferrone.
At first I thought down-voting was appropriate. I was wrong. You want to know what Bonham would've done? Check out his playing with Rockestra... That's the most similar to this situation, and shows that (the excellent!) JHB would have played for the song, just as these guys did. Bonham was fluid and masterful in his way. He would not have come into this concert and played all his licks. The main difference between Bonham and these guys, is Bonham locked into Page much more than Plant. Not better, not worse, just a different approach. Bonham is probably my favorite drummer of all time. Keltner is a monster. And Ringo gets better with every year I get older.
Apples and oranges. Bonham was his own instrument, and very good at holding down his individual corner of a very powerful trio. Every instrument in Zeppelin was front and center (equal) with the vocal, unlike The Beatles music. Ringo played WITH the others (mainly with the bass) to make an extremely subtle, but total, blend of backing instruments which fit behind the vocals. Anyway, Bill Bruford makes them all look like beginners.

Nick Mason is another drummer who has proven that method.
@@mrfester42 the beatles were never technically amazing at their instruments but they really knew how to drive a song with them

Totally, watch him with Neil Youn at Red Rocks, 'words' is brilliant.
Something in the way he moves attracts me like no other drummer...
Well stated !

oh god. it's just a matter of taste. all the drummers you mentioned were great and made great contributions.
Jim is in the to 5 all-time Great drummers hands down
Ringo was...and is...the perfect rock 'n' roll drummer!!!
He wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles!
u heard of John Bonham aiii?
@@GeoZeppelin1979
If it wasn't for Ringo, you would've never heard of John Bonham.
@@GeoZeppelin1979 - Bonham is famous but as drummers go, he couldn't carry Carl Palmer's sticks. Then, again, nobody can.
Ringo is a more famous character than an accomplished drummer.
Jim Keltner aka Buster Sidebury
Why doesn't have this video a million clicks? So great: Jim Keltner and Ringo! Sooo great! Thank you!
And Ray Cooper, too!!!
Because youtubers are ignorant
The side shots during WahWah are a trip.
George and Ringo were great friends and it's great that drummers can talk about drumming with Ringo.
Ringo was exceptionally exquisite on this concert as a tribute to George!🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️
Ringo un ottimo batterista un grande personaggio
All the drummers are so frucking tight! Ringo is such an underrated drummer!!!
What utter garbage! Ringo isn't underrated in the slightest! He is universally admired and appreciated.
KELTNER FAN CLUB MEMBER HERE! Send a self stamped ELEPHANT folks! GH'S joke way back when! hahaha
Whoa….I never knew what Jim Keltner looked like without sunglasses. It’s almost like being a kid and seeing KISS without their makeup for the first time.
The percussion line-up for 'Wah Wah' was incredible: Ringo, Jim Keltner, Ray Cooper, Jim Capaldi and Henry Spinetti (anyone I've forgotten?)
Emil Richards 👈
Cool. Ringo & Jim Keltner. ♥️🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
It would be aweome to get the whole side shot video from Wah Wah
Yes it would. I could watch those drummers all day!
Jim Keltner, one of the best
Jim Keltner was in Ringo's first all star band in 1989
You have to love Ray Cooper. He was such a funny and great Guy:)
where was Henry Spinneti in this video? he was a killer in this concert.
I could watch those drummers all day. Camera should've just focused on drummers!
Imagine how good it would be if you had the best drummers there instead of these guys? Carl Palmer, Ginger Baker, Ian Paice and Steve Gadd?
@@justafanintexas7913 The best drummers were there.
@@lovelygivan1442 - That ever played with George, yes; of all-time, not even close.
@@justafanintexas7913 That's your opinion. So.. Ok
@@lovelygivan1442 - Opinion? It's a fact.
Both Ringo and Jim playing to the singer
I loved watching the drums on that Song WaWa!
Truly gifted musicians I, god bless them all
I get rhymn, lead, bass, etc., but multiple DRUM players WOW how do they do that? Magnificent ✌✌
Love Ringo’s cool factor. Once a Beatle always a Beatle.
Love Ringo so much.
Jim Capaldi playing some drums/percussion here too.
Henry Spinneti was the concert drummer, a damn fine one too, pure class
Well, along with Jim Keltner ... and RIngo Starr ... and Jim Capaldi for a bit.
Michael Kamen. Somehow missed that he was involved in this.
2:00 Ringo Starr
Wow this is the first time I've ever seen Jim Keltner's eyes. No shades?!
I get Al Pacino vibes from Jim Keltner here.
The Concert for George is one of the finest musical performances ever caught on film. Any time that I need to calm my grandchildren (ages 2 & 3) I sit them on my lap in the rocking recliner and we watch Give Me Love, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, My Sweet Lord, Handle With Care, Something and Here Comes the Sun.

haha thats so funny to hear. so there is actually hope for future generations =) this concert has to be passed on so that we dont forget it
this guy,Jim Keltner looks like Robert Downey Jr.or not?
Without his glasses, he looks like Groucho Marx. Those eyebrows.
Ringo more than just a drummer. One quarter of the best band ever.
When you play sloshy and haven't made a lot of money you suck, but if you play sloshy and make billions of dollars with it someone will describe your playing as "like water colors that run down the page" haha
Very enjoyable video, Ringo just being Ringo.
Peace and Love.🥁
Why they cut the full concert from you tube??? I can't find it any more!!!!!
It's also against the honor to George!!! He wouldn't like it for sure!!! This GREAT tribute belongs to the world who loved him so much!!!
Because it's probably still for sale (the DVD) and the proceeds went to George's charity
THe DVD is WELL WORTH IT
I found this: ok.ru/video/333997478288
illegal uploads are the way to celebrte gerge herrison!!!!!!!!
Perche' Ringo e Paul fanno solo concerti su George? E mai su John? Invidia?
sorry but in this video i want all the others to disapear and Ringo play the drums
The best move the Beatles ever made was dismissing Pete Best and hiring Ringo.
Ringo certainly was the perfect drummer for the Beatles, both in style and in personality. He was great as the Conductor on Shining Time Station, too.
Too bad that Henry Spinetti was completely excluded from even a scant mention in this video...

Large orchestras have several percussionists. They all play different things, which adds to the fullness of sound.
2 drummers playing together is a unique experience. I've done that myself. Basically both keep rhythm, but one does most of the 'heavy lifting' with the fills, depending on the respective skill levels of the drummers involved.
It’s how we learned in band. I started as 3rd chair and ended up 1st after a few years. We played a few pieces that required 3 drummers.
4 Baterista no concerto?? acho que houve um certo exagero, mas assisti e vi que ficou super legal.
Thanks for sharing this. I love it!
Love these guys. And Ray Cooper, legend!
This is a group of percussionist
And Ray Cooper is the greatest percussionist (not drummer) ever.
Wait...Jim Keltner has eyes....WTF?
A alguien le gustan los héroes de cómic, k simplemente con su gallardía se convierten en esos personajes no necesitando ni disfraz... Luceros bien, k nos da gusto, yeah!
Keltner's greatest performance? Playing the judge in George Harrison's video, This Song. You know the one. Ronnie Woods is in drag.
Um vídeo lindo. E ainda nos mostra de quebra o que acredito serem as últimas imagens em um show do Jim Capaldi e Michael Kamen.
and Billy Preston.
I KNOW HE'S WATCHING FROM WHEREVER HE IS/PEACE UNTO YOU DEAR SOUL. ♥
That was the dude that played with Eric Clapton on the MTV'S unplugged show.
Love you guys !!!!
Did Jim say the Beatles were beneath him.?
I think he was alluding to his own arrogance as a young man.
A video about drummers with no drums in the audio. Brilliant.
Great to see this.
Henry Spinetti was a complete and utter distraction at this show.
THANKS for mentioning it because I was about to. I can't stand him. He's got Jim Keltner and motherf*cking Ringo on both sides but he still wants to be the loudest and the one people look at. What an egocentric jerk.

Hi it me the RUclipsr have fun!!!!!!!
Who was the drummer sitting between ringo and jim? He played great and i dont know who he is
Henry Spinneti brother of the actor Victor Spinnetti
Ringo es un tipaso
Who is the middle drummer, older man?
Por favor una versión en español! Gracias.
So, who is the guy that nobody is mentioning? Yep the oldest bald drummer, i found him to be the more energetic during the whole concert.
Henry Spinneti, brother of the actor Victor Spinneti.
@@captainswoop8722 thank you
He's actually the youngest drummer there. And perhaps the least talented. And definitely the most annoying.
@@MissBlennerhassett876 o….k.
@@wildwoodandonyx ?
Lol four drummers!
nobodydoesitbetter
And what a show it was!
Jim Keltner kinda looks like a muppet.😆
о ринго. я рад тебя видеть в здравии.но не корчи из себя музыканта.для начала послушай Джона БОНЕМА.
I'll take Ringo and Jim Keltner over guys like Portnoy all day long.
no mention of the drummer in the middle. of Ringo and jim.. .who was really doing most of the fills....what's his name ??
I'm guessing it's Henry Spinetti as the third drummer here. Two percussionists and three drummers on this track. You gotta love it. Other drummers also performed at Concert For George including Jim Capaldi, Phil Capaldi and Steve Ferrone.
Yep Henry Spinetti.Had the pleasure of meeting him a few weeks back at a Beatles drum night with Gary Astridge.Great player,lovely guy.
Henry Spinetti, he was the main drummer for the show.
@@billaden6401 - He was a murderous distraction.
lol
Ringo can't swing a tambourine, either.
"So go away, leave me alone, don't bother me"
What do you mean "either"? He's a great tambourine player just like his drum playing.
@@haythamkenway1817 Nice One....It's been a good good while since I heard that song
LOL musical and fluid? sigh...i wish bonzo was alive so he could show how to REALLY play drums
