"A band's as good as its drummer" said Ginger Baker, somebody who well and truly knew that. Chilli Pepper's drummer Chad Smith didn't seem to understand that properly, asking Ginge in an interview in 2019 if he thought Ringo was "any good", to which he replied "Any good??? - he was the drummer in the fucking Beatles mate!". Likewise, he wouldn't have a bad word said about Charlie Watts either: Ringo and Charlie did the drummer's job perfectly, as explained by Ginge: "Your job is to make the other guys sound good, that's your gig." Ringo is the master of tempo, and his punctuation perfect, the fills in "Day in the Life", "Strawberry Fields", "Something" etc,etc. are as melodic as Lennon, McCartney and Harrison's tunesmithery, you can't play "I Feel Fine", "Ticket to Ride", "Get Back", "I Want You...she's so heavy" or any of it really without learning your rudiments and developing your technique, which Ringo already had in place when he joined. He was actually the Beatles best player.

What he plays is so difficult and rhythmic which contributed so much to the deceptively complex sounds of The Beatles that keep us coming back 60 years later!

@@JFFM730Keith Moon didn’t earn such a positive reputation by playing skilfully.

I was going strong until “Don’t Let Me Down”! Love these Beatles quizzes, I got 19/20!

I did 19/20 as well but didn‘t guessed She Said She Said right.

This shows the importance for us musicians to make sure that even the drum parts are well written!

Nice one Charlie! I've come away from this with EVEN more respect for Ringo than I had before. And a score which shall remain confidential 😁

I did just one wrong: She Said She Said, there are so many songs with similar beats like Its All Too Much but there is a bit of Hi-Hat in it.

Great job!

I felt your pain when I missed the ones I did, David. I grew up listening to the Beatles, especially the red and blue albums. I love these videos (and it's nice to see Ringo get some love 😊), keep 'em coming!

This game really makes me appreciate how varied and creative of a drummer Ringo was. He kept his drumbeats simple yet also managed to cram so much variety into all the different songs.

This is so cool! Great job, David!

19/20. My mind went blank on Strawberry Fields even though I was drumming along with it. t. drummer who got his start learning every Beatles song.

Ringo wasn't just great he was a genius, he would have made any band in the world great.

I'm amazed at Ringo's amazing creativity and at your huge knowledge in Beatles' music.

Wow, I got an embarrassingly low 4 out of 20. Could not for the life of me work out when Carry That Weight ended and The End began and obviously went for the wrong one... facepalm Anyway, I really enjoyed this video and please do a "can you guess the Beatles song from the bassline?" video so I can try and redeem myself!

Omg yes! Would love to play a baseline version of this game. This was awesome though, great job shining a light on Ringo’s playing. Managed 17/20, the parts are so iconic.

I’ve loved The Beatles since my earliest memories. I’m not a musician, and I’ve always heard about Ringo’s innate talent. This was such a curious way to hear it. Just the raw sound. He provided the skeletal framework for all of their music. I have an untrained ear for hearing/understanding drummers💕 This catapulted my understanding so I can listen differently next time.

Ringo is really one the best and most underrated drummers out there. So many iconic drum lines and awesome songs.

got em all. been studying ringo's parts for a while and I love every one of em

I've been following The Beatles since before they performed on The Ed Sullivan Show (guess that shows how old I am) but I never tried to identify the songs by the drumming alone. I can't wait to re-watch this video. It's in my saved playlist.

Man, She Said, She Said is such a distinct drum part, and my go to to shut up anyone who calls Ringo basic. Ghost notes. Fills. Variety. True virtuosity. And In My Life....man...you missed some golden ones. Love your vids.

Yeah I think I guessed that one quicker than any of the others

This guy is incredible. Amazing to recognise so many.

You knowledge and ability impressed the heck out of me and I grew up with the Beatles.

Listening to these drum parts, you can't say Ringo was poor or anything like that. This playing is brilliant.

I love these guess-the Beatles’-song quizzes because it makes me feel good about myself😅🙏🏼

Ringo is so underrated. His creativity is unrivaled. His drum parts are as iconic as the melodies of the Beatles masterpieces.

Thanks for this Charlie - brilliant

I'm no musician, but why is it so perfect and alluring when the drum beat drops or delays a beat you expected? Song # 6 was fabulous.

Not having the reverb and other effects on the drums definitely makes this harder than if it was the actual stems.

I feel the same way. It's a pain in the ass when it doesn't sound similar.

I love Ringo's drumming.

Great quiz! Congrats!!!

Ringo's always been a hero of mine and anyone who creates content demonstrating why he deserves that is also a hero. Thank you,

I thought Tomorrow Never Knows was actually Ticket To Ride. Wow! Ever since the 60s I couldn't really hear Ringo with the others' over top of it. Now I can hear how inventive, embellishing and appropriate it really was. My new favorite drummer!

Funny that Paul actually came up with both those drum patterns

I didn't keep an exact track, but I think I got around the same amount as you (maybe about 17/20). I'll be honest, it being a cover did make it harder, but I found this fun and it proves how awesome Ringo is as a drummer.

Amazingly well done! Your knowledge of The Beatles is very impressive for someone of your age.

Very glad She Said She Said got featured in this quiz. One of my favorites on drums.

Ringo is the best drummer of all time. His drum parts were compositions themselves.

You did better than me, David, and I've been listening to The Beatles for over fifty years. I was sorry not to see Wait in the list and also Rain which is probably my favourite Ringo performance.

Ringo is an incredible drummer! How expressive and unique and signature!

the production/tone of ringo's drums plays such a huge factor in the overall drum sound, and these samples sound absolutely nothing like his drums. That being said, it was still an entertaining video and worth the price of admission.

Thank you!

Missed Twist And Shout and guessed The Word for She Said She Said as well

Some of my favourite Ringo songs. It's easy to say Ringo's my favourite drummer because I'm heavily biased towards The Beatles, since they're my favourite band, but he genuinely catches my ear more than any other drummer. He consistently adds so much to each song: I Saw Her Standing There Boys Please Please Me All I've Got to Do Not a Second Time Drive My Car The Word Rain Tomorrow Never Knows A Day in the Life Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) Come Together Something She Said She Said In My Life Blue Jay Way Magical Mystery Tour Strawberry Fields Forever I Me Mine Don't Let Me Down

I enjoyed this A LOT. Thanks 🙏🏼

Great video, man! Congratulations! I'm so proud lol! 20/20!!

Great fun! Ringo is one of a kind.

Always been a big Ringo fan. He inspired me to play the drums. I’m embarrassed to say I only got about half right!

Loved this. Thank you.

Great quiz. Well done Charlie and David.
