Top Comments of this video!! :3
He wasn't explosive, flashy or bombastic, isn't mentioned in the same breath as drummers like Bonham or Moon, but he was absolutely the perfect drummer for the Beatles. Everything he did was very original; he had his own distinctive "voice" on the drums, and everything he added to these songs fit in so perfectly. He's rarely recognized or celebrated for how good he actually was.

Two things that are nice about listening to these in isolation (and noting how special/individual each of these are):
1] It helps explain why Ringo Starr is on the short-list of āGreatest Drummers Everā for virtually every drummer Iāve ever known, andā¦
2] it pretty much puts an end to any lingering question anyone might still have as to āWhy did they let Pete Best go?ā

I used to think ringo was kind of a crappy drummer, but I think I was too focused on just like, drumming ability. Drumming isn't a sport, and ringo's strength as a drummer was in part writing. He never had to do anything fancy, just write parts that fit the song well, which he seemed to do almost effortlessly.

19 here! Missed Strawberry. Ringo is a genious, so simple but some complicated at the same time!!! He did something quite great and unique. You can hear 1000 drummers, but you know when Ringo is playing, and that's huge. That tecnique, triplets and fills, would last forever. Regards from an Argentinian Beatles fan who also plays as Ringo on tribute bands!
