awww dusty.....sorry sweetie. if you need to vent, i am impenetrable to your ire. sorta kinda. so pm me if you feel the need ok? ♥
Ringo was not a real good "technical" drummer ... not on the scale of a Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa ... but his style did fit perfectly with the Beatles ... however, they did sneak in a few studio drummers on some of their albums. What the biggest deal was with Ringo, was his personality was a better fit for the group. He was a carefree jolly outgoing kind of guy whereas Best was the brooding tough guy.
i reckon that's a Sean question! Paul pretty much told him what to do. i had a link for who played what on each song, but i lost it.
i know Paul played drums on The Ballad of John and Yoko, only him and John played on it, but i'm not a Beatles expert, by any means.
Sean use to run some Beatles websites. i meant to give him the link, but...
what about molly? she is conspicuously absent
What about my autographed glasses photo?
I think miss Molly is busy celebrating her victory over a stubborn bottle of juice.
Not true, and Paul is mortified that rumor is still around (Ringo thinks it's hilarious!). I suspect it arises from the fact that at one point during the White Album sessions, Ringo officially quit the band. With the studio time already booked, the show had to go on, so to speak, so Paul drummed on a few tracks, he being the only other one of them who could play drums a little bit. But Ringo cooled down and came back a few days later, to find his drumkit surrounded with flowers as an apology from the other three.
Ringo has joined Paul and vice versa on many of their solo projects since the breakup of the band (he drums on most of the Flaming Pie album - Paul did the rest)... that wouldn't be the case if there was bad blood between them.
i hope you feel better, my good man! let me know if i can do anything! or erm...stop doing anything!
we'll be thinking about you.
Agree 98% ..... my only exception is in that he was a good drummer ..... he was mediocre at best ... IMHO, Ringo wasn't a GREAT drummer but he was quite a bit better than Pete ... and Ringo's personality was a better fit.
The only point I was trying to make was if I were in his shoes, I would have a pretty hard time with myself for quite a while watching them on the international stage right after I was part of the band, then all of a sudden I'm a nobody.
Sam, Mark Lewisohn has a new book out that's another exhaustive history of the Beatles - it's a planned first of three volumes, and he considers it his magnum opus. It's here if you hadn't heard about it. Most of my Beatles books and paraphernalia are still packed away from our move a year and a half ago (we moved 23 years of stuff in about 48 hours and I rarely feel physically up to sorting through it all, so it's a slow process) but my "studio sessions bible" is this, which I bet is the book you're thinking of.
never said he was a good technical drummer!
anything more or less might have detracted from the songs. there were NOT great songs, but they SOUNDED great! Paul was a great bass player, imho. a better drummer would have changed how he played. a lot of times, Paul IS the rhythm and Ringo is playing fills. also, look at Come Together, a real drummer would have changed that song.

Your brain is chock full of cool and interesting information.

An adaptor for an 808 batt to play (LOL) ego (NOT 510, just the outside ego threaded) tank.
So an 808 to ego adaptor. NOT 808 to 510 adapter. Will look again, multi tasking and I suk at it.

Agreed that Ringo isn't the most technical drummer in the world, but one of the things I love about him is that he's never claimed to be... he does what he does, and he's happy with that. Actually, there was only once that a studio drummer was used (other than Paul on the rare occasions Ringo wasn't there)... When Pete Best was fired, the studio time for the recording of the single version of Love Me Do was already booked. George Martin had met the band with Pete, but he'd never even seen Ringo. Not having been impressed with Pete's drumming, he'd booked a studio drummer for the session (a guy called Andy White, to give the poor man his due!)
George's decision to use a studio drummer was the straw that broke the camel's back for John re: Pete not being the right fit, so that decision actually directly *led* to Pete being fired. Then the Beatles showed up to the session with this new drummer George Martin had never seen... so he says, "hi, pleasure to meet you, but Mr. Andy White has already been booked to drum."
During the recording of the Please Please Me album, George Martin had the chance to get to know Ringo, realized he had drumming chops, and allowed the band to re-cut "Love Me Do" with Ringo drumming on it for the album version. So, to this day, the only recording of the Beatles using a studio drummer is the *single* version of Love Me Do.
I didn't say Pete was a good drummer *then*... he was terrible!
But he's a pretty good drummer *now*. Not great - but good. Competent would perhaps be the better word. He could have made a lot more money by improving his drumming and touring as Pete Best and the (whatevers), but he chooses to whine instead, which is the sad/irritating part of the whole business.
808-1 or 808-2? the V2 and many others used 808D-1 and is much more popular than 808D-2 (Green Smoke)
