In a current Instagram submit, former drummer for The Police, Stewart Copeland (a groove monster in his personal proper) affords particular proof of Ringo Starr’s superior stills at reaching groove in a track.
Copeland suggests evaluating the three completely different variations of “Love Me Do,” the primary Beatles recording. The primary one is with authentic Beatles drummer, Pete Finest, the second is with a employed session musician, Andy White, and the third is with Ringo.
At one level in Copeland’s submit, he claims that, when Andy White is on the throne, and George Martin has moved Ringo over to the tambourine, the groove of the track has truly migrated together with him. It is fairly delicate, listening to it right here, however it’s a enjoyable thought.
Since there may be a lot perennial debate over Ringo’s talent as a musician, it is good to see a breakdown of his simple strengths, which as Copeland factors out, are groove and inventiveness.
