Yes, we all know and love the classic drum beats on some of the Led Zeppelin tunes, the killer stuff on Deep Purple records, Queen's We Will Rock You and so on. We're leaving out (for now) anything by someone who can be referred to as a 'cat': Gadd, Colaiuta, Elvin, Garibaldi, Modeliste etc. At present we don't care about chops, speed, flash, complex grooves or Neil Peart - I never care about Neil Peart, although feel free to yourself.
Let's talk about some Beatles drum beats.
This discussion is about Ringo (or anyone else who played drums on a Beatles tune) and which beats we think are the coolest.
The first one that comes to my mind is Ticket to Ride. I love that s**t. Whether it came from Paul or whatever the 'people in the know' say, it is a slammin' piece of work.
What do you think??
