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??

The first one i think of is Ticket To Ride.
she said, she said
for a civilian, it's the one that floors me every single time.
and although i have no idea what i'm talking about, it sounds like they miked the drums differently on this track. you can hear everything. you can pick out the cymbals.
the drumming is so well thought out. it's deceptively sloppy.
of course, i could be wrong. i often am. all clarifications welcome.
she said is a great one. ringos part is very cool. i looked it up on wikipedia and john described it as an 'acidy' song". the drum part is not typical, "deceptively sloppy" is a good description.
