Please note, the drum parts and song arrangements in Trinity Rock and Pop Grades can differ from the original versions. I'm well aware that the intro here is a different from the way Ringo played it on the original - he played floor tom to high tom due to him being a left-hander on a traditionally "right handed" kit (yes, I've seen the video where he talks about it). His toms we re-tuned so the floor tom was higher and the hanging tom was lower in pitch. These videos are recorded as a reference to help students prepare for their Trinity Rock and Pop exams, so I'm playing the part here as it appears in the Grade 4 book, not exactly as Ringo played it. To be fair, this arrangement recreates the sound of the original, rather than the physical orchestration - so I can see why they changed it. Sound is ultimately the business we're in. Cheers for watching! :)
Agreed. The four alternate between Tom and floor. Tom/floor/Tom/floor instead of 4 on the floor. And of course Ringo led from his left whilst going around the kit to his right. I’m leftie playing on a right kit and I practice and now lead from the right. Good practice to alternate
Thank you for playing this song I'm just learning to play drums and I have the first version with the notes but seeing you playing this version has helped my so much. I really appreciate seeing it .
This My Friend Would make Ringo So Proud.. Yes he was left handed playing a right hand kit and as I'm also doing that I can promise you,, you nailed ths.. with the floor tom and the hanging tom..
Heya there Mike! Sravas here Man, are you one great drummer!! And to top it all, such a song!!!!! U r d greatest drummer I have ever seen. I don't care about the world's greatest drummer... When u r here to inspire me!!!! Keep on nurturing us drummers!! Thanks

I love how effortlessly you do this! BTW: u dont have to read this its not important lol I recently had an online talent show, so i did come together on drums. i have an electrical drum set, and its Alesis. I started playing about a month before my 10th birthday (end of December), and i'm only ten right now in June. I want to be able to play so many drum songs, and be a great drummer one day/ i only really got drum lessons from my dad, and learnt songs of memory. the two songs i know how to play are seven nation army and come together. i tried take me to church by Hozier, but didn't have much on drums. this isn't really important, just randomly wanted to share. have a nice day, whoever's reading this!
It still amazes me to remember this super classic and try to figure out what even inspired Ringo to write his parts on the drums like that? The creative flow from all the Beatles of course was always there but always unmatched and Wow! What a cool drum part Mike and flawless playing as always! Cheers!
Wow !! I cannot believe how easy you make this look !!! Nearly there !! Every play thru is getting better ,,, thank you Mike ,, my covers band thanks you 😊
You played this song beautifully! The Beatles are my favorite band ever! In honor of Paul McCartney’s birthday, I have challenged myself to learn to play a Beatles song by the end of this weekend! Thanks to your video and the current political climate here in the US, I think I’ve just found the perfect song to learn! Thank you for the inspiration! Rock on, bro!🤘🏻
Cheers! Much appreciated. I disagree it’s a talent though, in the sense of natural ability - it’s the result of thousands of hours of practice. I was clueless when I started! Thanks for watching :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums I think some people are naturally better with regards to rhythm, ability to hear music. The mechanics of drumming, I agree is the result of thousands of hours practicing. Musical inclination is definitely a thing though.
Advay Hey man thanks for watching! The idea is to follow the written part in these grade pieces, except for sections such as “cont sim” (continue similarly), “develop”, “fill” (where you’d create your own fill) and the diagonal slashes, where you fill the space in context with what was played before - these don’t need to be a straight repeat.
I’m a drummer myself and a marching band pit percussion player and I’ve played the Elton John cover of this song. By the way as a request can you play the one, simple life, and club at the end of the street by Elton John as well as the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, sea of tranquility and baby step back by Gordon lightfoot
If you get chance, please check out the recent interview I did with Drum Education Live: ruclips.net/video/dWmxIZVfaZA/видео.html. Would really appreciate you giving it a watch/like/comment if you can (you don't have to sit through the whole thing unless you want to!). Thank you to all who have watched it 🙂
You know, at first I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to play anything on the drums, but after being in my school drunline, I think I know more than I thought I did
John Lennon was once asked if Ringo Star was the best drummer in the world. He famously answered that he didn’t think Ringo was the best drummer in the Beatles… Interesting how this trinity version is different to rock school. Very much enjoyed this video, which will help me smooth that initial tom roll

Hi, thanks for watching - yeah this is the part from the trinity Rock and Pop Grade 4 version, which I'm playing note-for-note. And yes agreed, over-playing on this tune is not a good look! Cheers man :)
I'd say no, this isn't harder than Minority. But I'm always intrigued when students ask these questions - why do you care? They're both great tunes and we can learn lots as drummers by studying them both. Cheers!
Okay interpretation. FYI…Ringo Starr, who was left-handed, actually played that intro-pattern right-to-left (floor tom then mid toms). Right-handers, as I’m guessing you are, play drums left-to-right. ruclips.net/video/vl9188EPdLI/видео.html (2:00)

YOU MEAN RINGO IS A BELLEND WAS NOT EVEN THE BEST DRUMMER THE BEATLES

First song im playing when I get my drum set
Go for it man, thanks for watching :)
Just got my drum set yesterday and played it as my first song too
It's Hannah Ringo could never manage that, so he did it backwards. Going from hi-hat to floor tom to top tom.
Maybe start something little bit easier to build your rhythm
Ur on grade 4 and only just got a kit WOW😱
This is probably the most accurate sounding drum cover I've ever heard!
This My Friend Would make Ringo So Proud.. Yes he was left handed playing a right hand kit and as I'm also doing that I can promise you,, you nailed ths.. with the floor tom and the hanging tom..
This so easy to follow as it's very controlled. Thanks :))
Glad it was helpful for you - thanks for watching!
I'm not a drummer but I always loved the drums in this song and was curious how it was played.
Thanks for watching!
@@randjohnsondrums I’ve never played triplets (don’t even know what that is) and I can play this. Easy-peasy, it’s really not that difficult

I like your song
great! But ringo used to start the fills with the left hand. He is left handed but plays like a right handed...except the fills
Yes he did/does - but in this version for the Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 4 it's played like I demonstrate here. Cheers man!
I’m left handed but I play right handed and god dam was it hard to adjust to
Mike you're Amazing
