tkitna: Well, I re-listened to the songs you listed which you stated Ringo had executed rolls in. I think I should clarify how I think of rolls, which is in a strictly technical way. I took lessons for a few years and progressed to self-study for a few more years before I abandoned the instrument.
Basically, I don't hear Ringo playing the types of rolls that I played under formal instruction. Ringo is very good at the fills he creates but they don't approximate rolls to me. I think his fills vary in tempo/speed as fits the song. I can't say that I really hear 32nd or 64th notes in them. One song that comes close is "Nowhere Man" in which it seems he does a few quiet closed stroke rolls on the snare drum. He doesn't call attention to these and you probably don't hear them unless you are someone who focuses on listening to the drummer.
I enjoyed listening to the songs again. I am surprised by the recording differences between "She loves you" and "Sie Liebt Dich." The Beatles vocals are very prominent on the latter. One thing about their use of stereo (stereo on Sie liebt Dich; She loves you was mono), they seemed to favor the right channel. I think for that era stereo was seen as the separation of channels in which you would input various parts of the song. Later on, I think people starting recognizing that spreading sound across both channels was preferable because it created a better fuller sound. This is just my opinion though. I could give more examples (of which there are many from the 1960s) but I don't feel up to typing so much right now. It's probably not worth it anyway.
Thanks for reading and have a nice evening.
