hehehehe, Beatle fan ko bro, but not fanatic. In several biographies of the Beatles and by John and Paul after the breakup, they said that they loved Ringo but music-wise, he was not a top-level drummer. Listen closely to his drum playing and you'll notice he seldom does full rolls. In Paul McCartney's bio, he mentioned that he didn't mind that but it did limit their percussions in their later albums. That's why after Rubber Soul, they employed a lot of session drummers.

I saw several Ringo performances late in his career and I noticed that even if there is a full 8-12 piece drumset on-stage, he only uses 4-5 pieces. I guess that's because he was more of a performing drummer rather than a recording drummer.

Ringo was great when performing on tour. But when the Beatles decided to stop live performances, he kindda ceased to expand his skills. When the Beatles started experimenting and using brass and horn instruments, the drum percussion was at a minimum. Except during the White Album recordings, Ringo was virtually absent. Even the much edited Let It Be sessions saw session drummers dubbing the percussions.

aw hinoon dli noon ta kaingon ka nga top-level drumer gyd cya, ky 4-5 rmn sd noon ka set atong nkit-an nya kasagaran,.
pero dli sd nato ma deny nga usa cya sa mga maayo nga drummer oi, taga-an sd nato cya og credit gud,..hehehe
ky kung Mark Lewisohn pasultihon Starr was both proficient and remarkably reliable and consistent mn kuno c ringo,..

message from paul to ringo

(McCartney sent Starr a postcard on 31 January 1969 (the day after the band's performance on the roof of Apple Studios) stating: 'You are the greatest drummer in the world. Really.' This postcard is included in Starr's book Postcards From The Boys.)

think tinuod sad siguro na ang giingon ni paul

Well, Ringo played learned and played drums when the skiffle was the music trend. Drum solos were not a part of live performances then. The Beatles started performing at a time when the guitar was the lead instrument and everything else was complementary.

In their first performance at Shea Stadium, Ringo performed "Boys" with such energy that the rest of the Beatles stepped away and had him get the spotlight. But all he did was use the bass, snare and one tomtom. The drum playing wasn't that great BUT the performance and showmanship was excellent.

I guess that sums up my assesment of Ringo. He thrived and delivered in a show. The later Beatle compositions unfortunately had no real need for a challenging percussion, so I guess that's why Ringo didn't get a chance to expand his abilities.

Here's another Beatle "trivia".

After John's death, and after the recording of "All Things Must Pass", George said that from a "music" point of view, he will never collaborate with Paul again. Several years later, he clarified that statement by saying that Paul had a tendency to insist on what he wanted and sometimes treated him as a "session" musician and not as a co-artist.

The nature of their breakup made a reunion close to impossible. We can only speculate whether or not they would continue to record great songs together or not. My opinion is that the main collaborators-John and Paul- were already not collaborating after Brian Epstien's death. Sgt.Peppers clearly showed that John and Paul were already on different musical paths, and only referred their music to the other as a matter of protocol. Paul was leaning towards commercial music while John had his causes. This was also perfect timing for George, who now had the opportunity to have more of his music put on record......with the backing of John.

I think their breakup came at the right time, although everyone would have preferred a a more amicable separation. Afterall, they were no longer a collaborative "group". The breakup allowed them to record as individual artists. True, there was much criticism of their solo work. John was considered as too political, Paul's songs were branded as flimsy, George was non-commercial, and Ringo wasn't really doing anything.

Anyway, the Beatle recordings will always be there for us to enjoy. I will look forward to any collaboration by Paul and Ringo, but I hope it won't be another "Free Like a Bird" or "Real Love". Only the Beatles can record like the Beatles, and Paul and Ringo ain't John, Paul, George and Ringo.
