Ringo's drums on She Said She Said 2022 mix

(1/5) > >>

Loco Mo:
I've listened to this several times.  I don't understand his drumming on this song.

I was a drummer as a teenager, and I know for a fact I would never have created something like this.  How in the world do you devise drumming fills like these?

According to Hunter Davies book, Ringo said he just sits behind his kit in the studio and does what the others tell him.

Listening to the new Revolver mixes and session tapes, Ringo’s playing is great all over this record. His She Said playing reminds me of Rain. Sometimes he starts a fill halfway through the bar before you’d usually think to put one. Sometimes two bars. This became a bit of a trademark of his middle period Beatle playing. He does it on Strawberry Fields as well among others.

Loco Mo:
Well, it looks like nobody has anything to say about this topic.  That's okay.  (Thanks, Moogmodule, for your input.)

I don't think I've ever paid so much attention to Ringo's drumming as I have ever since all the remixes started.

I think the guy's a genius.  This is kind of sad in a way because I think most people think he's a very simple but competent drummer.  They think the same way about George Harrison as a guitarist.

You know, I don't think I'd have known what to play (as a drummer) for "Love me do."  I would have been cut just like Pete (for sure).

Sorry, Loco Mo; I'm not a drummer, or even a musician, so I wasn't able to reply.
