Musically speaking, from all the four Beatles Ringo was the most reliable on his instrument. Almost never messed up on a take or a live show. Super solid drummer.
+pse ga George couldn't even play the solo on a hard day's night up to speed. he played it at a slower speed and then George Martin sped it up in the studio. eventually george became a fantastic musician, but even in the early days, Lennon referred to Harrison as a "kid" trying to play with the adults
+Ulises Calvo I believe Paul once referred to Ringo as a "machine" when it came to keeping time. One song I read he did have trouble with was Happiness Is A Warm Gun because of the timing changes.

'Ringo is the best drummer in the world for us.' - Lennon. 'You are one of the greatest drummers in the world. Really.' - McCartney. 'What Ringo did for the Beatles was just right, and you can't knock that. He was one fourth of the band.' - G Baker. 'It's been said before, and I'll say it again, nobody plays like Ringo. What a character.' - V Colaiuta. 'The Mozart of our generation.' - Stewart Copeland. 'Ringo is the reason I play drums.' - Just about every drummer in the world.
This clip makes a good point. Ringo is probably the only drummer in the history of pop music to create memorable, catchy, inventive drum fills and riffs for almost every song he recorded. I'm not talking about style I'm talking about musicality, rather than simply providing a backbeat. The other obvious comparison I can think of is Keith Moon.
The best quote I ever heard about Ringo is that if you played only the drum part to any Beatles song, you'd still be able to name which one it is. That, is true skill and originality.
Seriously? You never listened to the genius of the original songs with the legendary Ringo Starr that innovative some off THE most famous drum beats in the history of music? SMH

I notice you use Ringo's swing on the hat. It did make a unique sound. Also a simple basic drum kit. That's all that's necessary if you know how to use it.
+JO.0 Try listening to Revolution 9 in mono - for some reason it makes sense musically compared to the stereo mix.... At least I don't have to skip or endure it now. Food for thought.
+R Ray Clark Its just, I always felt like revolution 9 was just a sound collage of different stuff and not necessarily a real song per se and I feel like if it wasn't for Yoko it wouldn't have been included on the album. I do like the piano part of it but overall I think we can both agree that its the weakest Beatles tune.
This guy sucks. He is just banging away. Sounds terrible. Dingo was one of the best rock drummers. This guy gave me a headache. I had to stop the video after 3 minutes,
He’s doing a really good job showing you how loudly Ringo played, by the way. Most of you probably miss this, but he’s purposefully hitting the drums very hard because that’s how Ringo played . It was just the style of the late 50s/early 60s drummers, and Ringo never changed from it. Drummers of that era probably played loud, I suspect, because there were only 4 and 6 track recording in the early 60s, so it was hard to mic up drums on recordings. So they had to play really hard to be heard on the song! Drummers now play much much quieter, because of microphone/recording technology - sound engineers can capture their sound well, without the need to play loud. Which is one reason why drumming is also MUCH more complex now - because playing quieter is much easier, and allows you to play much faster. Whereas, the style Ringo plays (hitting his drums really loud!) is basically more difficult, and makes playing faster much harder.
Hearing all these varied and perfectly placed drum patterns, breaks etc TRULY shows why Ringo is and will always be one of the best, most talented drummers in the world.

deBidi Ringo is great in the same way David Gilmour is great on guitar, they are not the fastest or most complex players, but they know how to make a song great
Someone mentioned down here that the drummer is a bit heavy-handed. Speaking as both a huge Beatles fan and a musician myself, I think the drummer here was right on the mark - he pretty much nailed Ringo's feel and touch. Just listening to the Beatles records, I know one could easily assume from Ringo's laid-back and slightly loose style that it's played very delicately. I too used to think that. Until I studied his style a little closer. Like if you check the video of their 1964 concert at the Washington Coliseum - Ringo's literally bashing the cymbals and drums there - rather aggressive playing. Or if you read Mark Lewisohn's studio chronicle books, you'll realise that during the "Revolver" sessions for instance, Ringo had to really pound the snare and drums to get the tight drum sound on that record. Ask any professional studio rock drummer or producer, and they'll tell you the same. To get the tight solid drum sound, or for even the cymbals to break through in the final mix, generally you have to really lay into them. Ringo was a lot more than just that style of course, and could play many different styles. But it's a misconception that he generally played very delicately. I think what some people might be reacting to in this video though is the sound of the drums, the way they're tuned. Which is very different to Ringo's 60s tuning, making it a more modern sound, especially the snare. Ringo's sound or tuning didn't stay the same though, not even through the 60s. From '63 on he had his "classic" kit, which we see in the videos from their tour years, '63-'66. Although already in 1966, listening to "Revolver" you can definitely tell his sound is changing, with muting snare and toms with blankets. And the front head of the bass drum I believe came off around that time, filling it with cloth for a more compact sound. And during the "Abbey Road" album it sounds like he might've taken the bottom heads off the tom-toms, as they've got more of a timpani-like sound to them with more sustain.
Molde Fan hard agree. i think people are getting hung up on his faces and how modern the recording sounds. especially with the earlier songs. but ultimately he nailed it. yes the drums are louder than on the original recordings but thats just the nature of these kinds of videos.

How hard he was hitting the drums was fine, but his kit is sounds like it’s tuned for metal, with a punchy bass drum, low punchy toms, and a medium poppy snare. Ringo’s early kit was jazz tuned, with a more shallow bass drum, high toms and a very high tuned cracky snare. Kye’s tuning made his playing sound more heavy than it actually was
Given how prolific and extensive the percussion was in Rain, the fact that you chose such a benign portion from the song seems like one hell of a missed opportunity to showcase Ringo's skill.
No Joke. This is possibly one of the best videos on youtube... Great Job! - and thanks for the smile, I had fun watching (and rewatching many times) Very cool!
The Beatles were so lucky to find Ringo - and they knew it. It's only now that I'm consciously appreciating just how good Ringo was - so many of these tracks I realise his drum parts and play were so recognizable and fitting.
I know, and they only gave each song four beats, right? I'd listen to ten minutes or even twenty and double the songs as well. They're all unique, and it's awesome to hear all of them in one sitting.
@@ringolennon827 I just listened to rain and yes, Ringo is very busy, although Paul's bass kept grabbing my attention. Ringo does a couple of nice fills on Hello Goodbye too. My favourite drummer though is John "jazz hands" Densmore.
+Tjoppy I would assume that he recorded all drum tracks in studio, than makes the video. Do you see how the wind affects the cymbals? It's impossible not to record the wind noise with the overheads! Still a cool vid and good drumming!
It's crazy how quickly their lyrical compositions changed. You can pretty much pinpoint where they started experimenting with more meaningful lyrics by the start of Day Tripper.
+Blaze As the foremost Beatlologist on the internet, (me) their musical periods correspond to the main drugs they were ingesting: early beatles: pills, amphetamines. Mid Beatle: pot/ acid and late beatles was coke and a dash of heroin (snorted not shot.)
The way it sounds, engineering wise, feels... wrong. Too compressed. If you close your eyes, if feels like somebody is playing MPC style live, with the fingers pressing triggers set at "no velocity".
Interesting and good work, but NOT the kind of drumming for Beatles songs. Ringo gave the songs the right beat and air to breath while this kind on drumming sounds overwhelming on them. Still, a very good work and personally loved the whole concept and the Free as a bird ending.
Agreed but the man just went with one tuned kit , which can not cover "Love Me Do" and "Rain". Also let us be honest Ringo could nail a groove on one take one BUT there were percussional additions that added that openness you talk about. The bridge in "a Day in the Life" has a whole collection of percussion and those were done a few notes at a time
Ringo Starr made me a drummer I heard my first song called U.S.S.R sense I was 5 now 8 years later and still love them to this day, just because their reply ability of their songs. Thx for inspiring me again to keep going thx man.
I like that he played a lot of songs with no drums, really shows how ringo was willing to hold back sometimes. As a drummer, I can say that's not always easy.
Everyone knows that the Beatles, even when they are not together they are still famous. They released way more singles than we could ever count. That was amazing how many they had. I'm amazed they did that in 8 years.

I've heard that during all the albums they recorded, he only screwed up 12 times
***** sure, back then bands recorded without a click or metronome like today, also no editing, you had to have your act together and be good at it.

This clip makes a good point. Ringo is probably the only drummer in the history of pop music to create memorable, catchy, inventive drum fills and riffs for almost every song he recorded. I'm not talking about style I'm talking about musicality, rather than simply providing a backbeat. The other obvious comparison I can think of is Keith Moon.
+Rex Mundi JOHN PHUKING BONHAM
Yeh. Him too, but atleast Bonham gets credit where it's due for his musical contribution to Led Zep. Ringo does not.
The best quote I ever heard about Ringo is that if you played only the drum part to any Beatles song, you'd still be able to name which one it is. That, is true skill and originality.
But Bonham = God
+Drake Holliday I hadn't heard that. Amazing.
This video was the video that inspired me to play drums. Now, 3 years later, I am now part of a band. Thank you for the inspiration Kye!
Seriously? You never listened to the genius of the original songs with the legendary Ringo Starr that innovative some off THE most famous drum beats in the history of music? SMH

I was very impressed by the drum work on "yesterday" great rhythm with some nice fills, but still not too much. Perfect drumming!
hilarious, when did you come up with that dude
"The fuck is this kid doing on the roof?"
- Everyone on the ground.
I'm agree with you, it's a blasphemy.
Something like roof top concert
I agree, if he were to fall off, It would be his fault!
His neighbors probably drove him up there.
+Marsbonfire he flew by drone lol
I notice you use Ringo's swing on the hat. It did make a unique sound. Also a simple basic drum kit. That's all that's necessary if you know how to use it.
Oh that's a Ringo thing? It really bothered me when I saw it on this video!
Bruh thats litterely what ringo had as a kit
Alex Willis The swing? That’s literally called a Ringo Swing.
So true one of the most iconic thing to go does
Went to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed this! It’s such an important thing to do if you’re covering anything that Ringo has played
1:33 Thank you Ringo, that was wonderful!
😂😂😂😂
I was hopeing for Helter skelter
That would just get him blisters on his fingers :/
and for "Tomorrow Never Knows"
Get Back!
Gee Kay he did get back
And good morning good morning
I'm not even a huge Beatles fan but its crazy just how many great songs they had!
+n00bis They are arguably the only band that had zero filler. All of their songs are good with perhaps revolution 9 being the only exception.
+JO. O Even Revolution 9 is great if you learn to listen to it.
+JO. O Revolution 9 is brilliant - if they have one bad song it's yellow submarine purely for the stupidity of it haha
+JO.0 Try listening to Revolution 9 in mono - for some reason it makes sense musically compared to the stereo mix.... At least I don't have to skip or endure it now. Food for thought.
+R Ray Clark Its just, I always felt like revolution 9 was just a sound collage of different stuff and not necessarily a real song per se and I feel like if it wasn't for Yoko it wouldn't have been included on the album. I do like the piano part of it but overall I think we can both agree that its the weakest Beatles tune.
I hope people start appreciating that Ringo made a huge impact on all this songs. The feel of each one is just extraordinary.
0:46 "If I give my heart to.."Dance With You."
OOOHHH
Parker Warren Then I’ll cry instead
@@reversegeology You cant do that
Does any one else think he’s playing on the roof to make a reference to the rooftop concert or is that just a coincidence
I hoping it's a reference
Definitely a reference. Just like the pan out for "Free As A Bird"
I think it could easily have been on purpose
Smarvis127 I think he’s outside because no one wanted to listen to him indoors! 🥁
This guy sucks. He is just banging away. Sounds terrible. Dingo was one of the best rock drummers. This guy gave me a headache. I had to stop the video after 3 minutes,
Brilliant but u left out Tomorrow never knows

And Yes it is is a close 3rd place
He’s doing a really good job showing you how loudly Ringo played, by the way. Most of you probably miss this, but he’s purposefully hitting the drums very hard because that’s how Ringo played . It was just the style of the late 50s/early 60s drummers, and Ringo never changed from it. Drummers of that era probably played loud, I suspect, because there were only 4 and 6 track recording in the early 60s, so it was hard to mic up drums on recordings. So they had to play really hard to be heard on the song!
Drummers now play much much quieter, because of microphone/recording technology - sound engineers can capture their sound well, without the need to play loud. Which is one reason why drumming is also MUCH more complex now - because playing quieter is much easier, and allows you to play much faster. Whereas, the style Ringo plays (hitting his drums really loud!) is basically more difficult, and makes playing faster much harder.

+Padidivemaster said Ringo !
Padidivemaster said Ringo but it should've been John :(
Hearing all these varied and perfectly placed drum patterns, breaks etc TRULY shows why Ringo is and will always be one of the best, most talented drummers in the world.

Lol
Obviously not he didn't play it
I've got blister on me fingers!!
So much effort put in Yesterday... Not to underestimate the overall performance ofc.
Ringo is one of the most underrated drummers of all time.
He played to make the song sound great, not to be known as one of the greatest which is something to respect
He's really not underrated
Why? Beatles song is what I learned as a beginner
deBidi Ringo is great in the same way David Gilmour is great on guitar, they are not the fastest or most complex players, but they know how to make a song great
+manuel flores I agree
When each of the song is like 2 seconds, but you still ends up with 5 minutes video. Damn, The Beatles' discography was out of this world.
Pure genius: the great drummer, the cinematography, the concept.....! Genius.
terrible!
I'm a master drummer too. Just ask me to play Yesterday, Blackbird, Norwegian Wood, etc.
and back in the u.s.s.r. too
ninjaplaychannel it's a joke.....
doggo sammo Oh really? Tell me the News now
Back in the USSR
But ringo didn’t even drum for Back in the U.S.S.R.
"Rain" is the best Ringo's drums line! You just put 2 second of it!
Because no one can play it like Ringo...
You gave Ringo the respect he deserves!! Kudos to you!
i've watched this so many Times that im actually starting to remember the song order
Dude same
Same lmao
And I thought I was the only one hahaha😅
same bruh
Same lol
Someone mentioned down here that the drummer is a bit heavy-handed. Speaking as both a huge Beatles fan and a musician myself, I think the drummer here was right on the mark - he pretty much nailed Ringo's feel and touch. Just listening to the Beatles records, I know one could easily assume from Ringo's laid-back and slightly loose style that it's
played very delicately. I too used to think that. Until I studied his style a little closer. Like if you check the video of their 1964 concert at the Washington Coliseum - Ringo's literally bashing the cymbals and drums there - rather aggressive playing. Or if you read Mark Lewisohn's studio chronicle books, you'll realise that during the "Revolver" sessions for instance, Ringo had to really pound the snare and drums to get the tight drum sound on that record. Ask any professional studio rock drummer or producer, and they'll tell you the same. To get the tight solid drum sound, or for even the cymbals to break through in the final mix, generally you have to really lay into them.
Ringo was a lot more than just that style of course, and could play many different styles. But it's a misconception that he generally played very delicately. I think what some people might be reacting to in this video though is the sound of the drums, the way they're tuned.
Which is very different to Ringo's 60s tuning, making it a more modern sound, especially the snare. Ringo's sound or tuning didn't stay the same though, not even through the 60s. From '63 on he had his "classic" kit, which we see in the videos from their tour years, '63-'66. Although already in 1966, listening to "Revolver" you can definitely tell his sound is changing, with muting snare and toms with blankets. And the front head of the bass drum I believe came off around that time, filling it with cloth for a more compact sound. And during the "Abbey Road" album it sounds like he might've taken the bottom heads off the tom-toms, as they've got more of a timpani-like sound to them with more sustain.
this comment reminded me of:
ruclips.net/video/BW92t264eBM/видео.html
Playing live with no monitors and all that screaming, my guess is this is pretty close!
Molde Fan hard agree. i think people are getting hung up on his faces and how modern the recording sounds. especially with the earlier songs. but ultimately he nailed it. yes the drums are louder than on the original recordings but thats just the nature of these kinds of videos.

How hard he was hitting the drums was fine, but his kit is sounds like it’s tuned for metal, with a punchy bass drum, low punchy toms, and a medium poppy snare. Ringo’s early kit was jazz tuned, with a more shallow bass drum, high toms and a very high tuned cracky snare. Kye’s tuning made his playing sound more heavy than it actually was
Given how prolific and extensive the percussion was in Rain, the fact that you chose such a benign portion from the song seems like one hell of a missed opportunity to showcase Ringo's skill.
I thought the same thing. I didn't get that part either.
Felt the same :\
Well tbf it wasn’t about showcasing Ringo bc there were songs on here that Paul played drums on
2:10 best beatles song ever in my life

Why no Helter Skelter? More importantly why no "I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!"?
Great video either way though.
Yeah man, and Tomorrow Never Knows.
ikr! XD
I was looking out for helter skelter but actually none of the beatles played an instrument in eleanor rigby so that shouldnt have been on there
bachyutt Paul also played Back in the U.S.S.R.
Why has this not got a billion views?! It's utterly stunning x
What a good drummer you are
Yes he's good but not at The Beatles music imo
+Mister Paradise totally agree
Well The Beatles are The Beatles, don't think there ever gonna be another band like them. UNIQUE
Ringo Starr loves it
Wtf?? He skipped literally the two best and most important Beatles’ songs for drum beats:
Tomorrow Never Knows and Helter Skelter
Parzival and I want You (She’s So Heavy)
I guess he didn't want to get blisters on his fingers
for real....!
She said she said
@@nesfan8 hahahahaha nice joke
The Beatles were so lucky to find Ringo - and they knew it. It's only now that I'm consciously appreciating just how good Ringo was - so many of these tracks I realise his drum parts and play were so recognizable and fitting.
I seriously can't stop coming back to this video. He's amazing, Ringo would be proud
You’re talking like he’s dead lmao
I am required to watch this every day
Im disappointed every time each song ends !
I know, and they only gave each song four beats, right? I'd listen to ten minutes or even twenty and double the songs as well. They're all unique, and it's awesome to hear all of them in one sitting.
Ontario Guy I know that feel!!! Every time that I started to sing, the music ends..
same
he would have got blisters in his fingers if he played all the songs without ending in a 10 seconds
As a 69 year old Beatlemaniac since 1964, (and a Ludwig drummer since 1965) this video is awesome!!! Thank you!
I love Ringo's drumming.
Back in the ussr, dear prudence and ballad of john and yoko are the best.
I see what you did there, very good. Paul McCartney drummed on all three.
Funny!
新しいニューフェイス rain, she loves you, she said she said. Three of his best
Too bad Ringo wasn’t on any of those tracks, but Paul would love the compliment
@@ehbenson2948 r/woosh
1:32 When she said "I love you as a friend."
Feels
Volej Core haha 😆
Volej Core 1:41 "she said she was joking and actually she loves u yeah yeah yeah"
Are you guys high or something, your Time links are leading me to be clueless
Coruja Play lmao
....and still there are youngsters picking up the qualities of this incredible band.
I'm a retired drummer & REALLY appreciate what Kye Smith has done here!! KUDOS!
I never realized how groovy Ringo’s playing is
A lot of the original mixes buried his drumming unfortunately
Ringo is one of the most creative drummers of all time. His fills in A Day in the Life are a good example, simply exquisite.
The king of feel!
iamthepaulrus also with rain. the drumming on that song is mind blowing. i don’t play drums but even i can tell that that’s like better than average.
@@ringolennon827 I just listened to rain and yes, Ringo is very busy, although Paul's bass kept grabbing my attention. Ringo does a couple of nice fills on Hello Goodbye too. My favourite drummer though is John "jazz hands" Densmore.
Amazing! But the snare sound?
+Tjoppy sounds triggered! along with the kick
+Tjoppy I would assume that he recorded all drum tracks in studio, than makes the video. Do you see how the wind affects the cymbals? It's impossible not to record the wind noise with the overheads!
Still a cool vid and good drumming!
+Tjoppy pretty sure it's just samples.
+Tjoppy Wrong headphones I'd bet
+Tjoppy It's overall a terrible sound for the context of what he's doing!
It's crazy how quickly their lyrical compositions changed. You can pretty much pinpoint where they started experimenting with more meaningful lyrics by the start of Day Tripper.
+Blaze
As the foremost Beatlologist on the internet, (me) their musical periods correspond to the main drugs they were ingesting: early beatles: pills, amphetamines. Mid Beatle: pot/ acid and late beatles was coke and a dash of heroin (snorted not shot.)
Yesterday was rubbish otherwise absolutely amazing I'm a big beatles fan and a drummer ❤massive respect to this man
anyone else spend the entire vid anticipating Helter Skelter
Yup disapointing
He was avoiding getting blisters on his fingers
'Rain' is often regarded as Ringo's finest and most complex drumming but you chose the easiest part of the song lol!
Where's "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "Helter Skelter"?!
Absolutely brilliant and showing how important and brilliant a drummer Ringo was for the greatest band there has ever been.
Not quite my tempo.
LOL
Here were some preety good comments, but this one's the best. By far.
hahah u made my day ;D
Worlds best comment
The way it sounds, engineering wise, feels... wrong. Too compressed. If you close your eyes, if feels like somebody is playing MPC style live, with the fingers pressing triggers set at "no velocity".
It is
+deloreanized its fine... you do better
django chubbinz You might not be able to give people critique, but please don't be a 12 year old fangirl.
Definitely Not Dingse! ?..
+deloreanized
Maybe it's part of Kye's identity... his sound.
Great timing. Loved how you got Free As A Bird in there
Congrats I’ve officially watched this video six times now! I love it so much!
Why did you choose that part from rain that song has the best drums in it
Ringo may not be as attractive as John, Paul and George but he sure is good at pulling off some sick beats. On second thought can you do Queen?
Aimran Azman Yay! i was going to post a comment saying he should do a QUEEN one too!!!
Queen is a pretty great band
QUEEN IS KILLER!!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING!!! I WOULD WATCH IT EVERY DAY!
Queen is really overrated, still great but there are better bands out there.
Idk for me Ringo is very attractive💗 P.S. Nice idea I love Queen
Rain, the song that Ringo singled out as his greatest drum performance, got four beats on the high-hat?
In spite of the shortness of each clip... or maybe because of it... I never tire of this video. I wish I could give it thumbs up each and every time.
I'm a bit let down that you didn't include Tomorrow Never Knows and Oh! Darling. Two great examples of Ringo's understated brilliance
I think this list is the A/B sides of all released singles.
0:59 ...and I'll cry instead---YOU CAN'T DO THATTTTT!!!
- me being emotionally unstable
Make one of queen
SQUIRTLE LOKO yes please
YES
Up
Ew
Yess
Mad Props, this is what it's all about...an ear and the chops to pull it off. Great job with the crew!
i love the beatles but i have no problem with the drumming. it's like kye is putting his own style into it
I think that is the point. Kye is not trying to out Ringo Ringo.. This is his interpretation.
James Thorn true
Mike Portnoy brought me here. Great stuff. Well done :)
Mike Portnoy sends his appreciation.
+Szabolcs Gergely Same here. Thanks Mike!
+Szabolcs Gergely If Mike Portnoy send me here it only can be great! Brilliant job on drumming, video and audio! Keep the shit up man :)
Brilliant!!!! That really put a smile on my face. A good lesson for any drummer.
Don't know how many times I have watched this but it never fails to cheer me up!
Interesting and good work, but NOT the kind of drumming for Beatles songs. Ringo gave the songs the right beat and air to breath while this kind on drumming sounds overwhelming on them.
Still, a very good work and personally loved the whole concept and the Free as a bird ending.
I agree, and the ending was a nice tribute to the song that was a tribute.
DEMONSTRATION PURPOSED
brge15 its called cover
this is not a cover, its drumming over the originals. again, a great effort.
Agreed but the man just went with one tuned kit , which can not cover "Love Me Do" and "Rain". Also let us be honest Ringo could nail a groove on one take one BUT there were percussional additions that added that openness you talk about. The bridge in "a Day in the Life" has a whole collection of percussion and those were done a few notes at a time
You walked the scariest path on copyright here, brother
Helter skelter and hey bulldog?
Ringo Starr made me a drummer I heard my first song called U.S.S.R sense I was 5 now 8 years later and still love them to this day, just because their reply ability of their songs. Thx for inspiring me again to keep going thx man.
I like that he played a lot of songs with no drums, really shows how ringo was willing to hold back sometimes. As a drummer, I can say that's not always easy.
it's pretty easy to "hold back" went you aren't invited to the recording session.
He was probably out the back making tea, or having a cigarette, or being chased by groupies😂
“Let me take you down ‘cause I’m goin’ to- Penny Lane”
I love The Beatles.
Amazing drum sound. Congratulations!
Very cool! (I think Tomorrow Never Knows should have made the list, though)
+Stéphane Jose Also, Rain deserved a better part
+Stéphane Jose I think he was doing just the singles, but otherwise I agree.
+Stéphane Jose i love the beatles, but i hate tomorrow never knows, i dont know why
Agreed
ZER0 he wasn’t just doing singles he played a lot of songs off albums
Very good the drum cover of the best rock band of all time the Beatles forever
How could you not play Tomorrow Never Knows!?
tomorrow never knows is awesome ringo is the beatles drummer
Or helter skelter
revolver entire album is legendary
i know right!
Ya I was wondering that same thing.
I really love the swipe motion Ringo did on the high hat. Really enjoyed seeing you do it as well!!
La cámara alejándose mientras suena Free as a Bird es excelente!!!! Good Perfect work!!!
I fucking love The Beatles!
ME TO DO MORE LIKE TWIST AND SHOUT LIKE IF DO MORE BEATLES DRUMING
Scott Campbell who doesn’t
Really is amazing. It's a great Beatle's tribute for a great fan for the best rock band all ever times.
Everyone knows that the Beatles, even when they are not together they are still famous. They released way more singles than we could ever count. That was amazing how many they had. I'm amazed they did that in 8 years.
