George Harrison On Why Ringo Starr Was A BAD Drummer #music #beatles #rock #drums #drummer #fyp #60s

“He listens…and knows exactly what to play”. That’s the most important quality to have as a drummer.

[gable]

Ringo served the songs and did it fucking brilliantly

[dragon-tech]

Ringo was an artist of feel rather than technicality

[mrsbluesky]

Anyone doubting Ringo’s drumming just watch some early Beatles clips. He’s a madman on those drums.

[johnfairweather]

Ringo’s drumming fit the Beatles. That’s what counts.

[theohmeyegods]

YES!!!! I had no idea George said this but I've put my guitar down for months or more periodically throughout my journey and I've absolutely benefited from it. I always called it :"letting the creative waters dam". Every time I come back it's a fresh creative palette. Helps with muscle memory too.

[nickbisesi]

Ringo is great because he always plays what the song needs. He knows how to not overdo literally anything

[gregmann]

I can't imagine any other drum track by any other drummer in ANY Beatles song surpassing or even equalling what Ringo did. Plus he's a very humble, likable character who doesn't take himself too seriously. There's not many rock musicians out there that fit that mold.

[jimtownsend]

George saying that he "could be quite good" if he practiced his guitar is a shining example of humility. George, you were "quite good". Quite good, indeed.

[dennissilber]

As Thelonious Monk once said, “I practice every time I play.”

[davidfernandez]

That's the greatness of the Beatles. They may not have been the greatest guitarists, drummers or singers, but all four of them were tremendous musicians and it showed in their songs

[WallKenshiro]

Ringo was mad underrated. He kept the time and groove with The Beatles like no other drummer could.

[shaunmcgee]

Ringo always, ALWAYS, played to enhance a song and that’s what makes him a truly great drummer.

[michaelmelling]

Please name one drummer that could have played as MAGNIFICENTLY as Ringo did on A Day in the Life!!!?

[gj]

Everyone who knows nothing about drumming thinks Ringo isn't good. Anyone that knows a bit knows he's just phenomenal. Maybe not the absolute peak of technical ability nor does he know the theory and yet in spite of all that, he performs and writes amazingly

[spencergsmith]

Ringo isn’t just a drummer, he is a musician.

[FazMaTaz]

I’ve been a drummer for 30 plus years. Ringo is an amazing drummer. Any real drummer will say the same. He’s very innovative.

[klank]

Say what you want about Ringo but he came up with some very unique grooves ... He deserves respect!

[TheRyanjMain]

All classes are simple, classical music ( comparing to jazz) clasic radio, classic art, classic books.
the Beatles are the raw begins of an entire wave of music the ripples are still going today. He sounded simple he invented a lot and inspired most the people I like now. Classic

[williamjordan]

His fills in A Day In The Life are brilliant. Just ask Phil Collins.
