After seeing Ringo in Get Back my admiration for him grows and grows. He was the quiet patient center of the band. He really listened.

Ringo doesn't even have to try to be cool. He seems like he was born cool and never stopped.

It’s impossible to not love Ringo. Such a cool, humble, chill guy.

Say what you want, but Ringo came up with some of the most unique rhythms for every Beatles tune ... that's what a real musician does!

Every single Beatles song creation story starts with "and we were sittin' round" 🤣

Ringo talking to ringo. #144p

It makes me warm all over that Ringo is finally getting the credit he's always deserved. The drummer is the heart of any group. Their beat is what brings it all together.

Ringo is way too humble - he really is an amazing drummer.

in the beggining i like: "wtf, ringo plays guitar?"

Ringo’s explanations are so honest and humble. That’s one of the most endearing traits of the Beatles; they never took themselves too seriously. Mostly...

You gotta love this guy. A member of THE greatest band ever, yet unpretentious and down-to-earth. The kind of guy you’d like to just sit down with and pick his brain about his thoughts on music. Seems like he’s managed “fame” quite well. He deserves all the good things that come his way.

The thing that made Ringo so great is that he plays for the song, not just for the sake of being a great drummer. He doesn't create busy, complex compositions but instead creates beats to enhance the overall feel and melodic of the song, sometimes giving even more spotlight to the bass or guitar. That takes not just an enormous amount of creativity but incredible humbleness, and just general awesomeness!

the slight "lateness" is what gives Ringo's drumming a natural heaviness that other drummers have to work at to create.

"don't stop me now!" ringo REALLY loves his drums, my god.

As a drummer, being late on command really means you’re always on time.

The Beatles wouldn't be as huge without Ringo's unique drum patterns/lines.

Who cares if Ringo is not the best drummer in the world, or in The Beatles. He was the best drummer FOR The Beatles.

People are going to realize how much they took Ringo for granted when he leaves us.

The Beatles music would never have been what it was without Ringo’s unique way of playing.

I love it. “They said he’s a genius, actually I’m just left handed playing a right handed kit”. That’s being humble

The truth of Ringo is that he really felt the music and translated what he felt into his drums, that was his genius

One of Ringo's finest moments was the hauntingly beautiful drumming on "A Day in the Life". It still mesmerizes after all these years

There's something very honorable about a gifted man with a great sense of humility

I started playing drums a year ago and have really grown to admire Ringo Starr. It seems like he was always portrayed to be the butt of jokes. I guess when you have 3 musical geniuses like Paul, George, and John in the same group, its easy to get overshadowed. However, Ringo playing is very very difficult to duplicate and i can now see what an integral part of the group he really ways. Plus, he is one hell of a guy.

He has no problem in saying "I can't do this or that". He takes the best from what he can do. That's being great.

Ringo is magnificent on every level.Never steals anyones thunder even when he's stealing the fcking show.

Ringo is a more amazing drummer than many people realize.

Ringo is the greatest drummer in the world. We love you Ringo. You are a beautiful sweet man.

1:48 "It is to do with the swing or as we keep mentioning, medication" *Oh Ringo never die*

When I think how lucky I am to have been on the planet at the same time as John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Love Ringo ! Like Charlie Watts, the absence of flamboyance makes people underrate him, but his beat absolutely makes the Beatles tracks so very distinctive. Brilliant.

I never gave him credit in the past, but now I think he’s awesome

2019 - The guy is 79 years old!!!!!! He only looks like he's in his late 50s

Came here for Ringo's playing, stayed for Ringo's banter

We are so lucky to have this humble legend still amongst us!

Ringo is a terrific drummer, and a delightful man.

Ringo is not your typical drum virtuoso. But he played in all kinds of time signatures with the beatles.. Tougher than it looks. And he's a great gentleman.

Research says: right handed people live longer than left handed people The Beatles: .....

Simply one of the greatest rock drummers - and personalities - of all time.

Ringo was and is a great drummer - so right that his abilities and contribution to the Beatles have now been recognised and celebrated.

Ringo was an accidental genius when it came to drumming, so that makes him uniquely a genius.

When Dave started the guitar of Come Together, I couldn't recognize it until Ringo started playing.

He’s got all kinds of rhythm and swing. Really a great drummer.

I didn't appreciate Ringo back in the 60's. I certainly do today. If the band had his temperament, we'd still have the band. Thank you Ringo Starr.

His drum patterns are like riffs. You would recognise the song without the guitars and bass just the drums.

It's cool seeing Ringo talk to himself

As a Drummer, myself, who grew up during that time period listening to this musicians music, I can't describe how impressed I am with this interview. This man's genuine honesty and humble attitude when describing his drumming techniques is definitely worthy of respect. Thank you for this great video.

One of the reasons Ringos licks were so cool and unique was he's left handed playing right handed so his choices and approaches sounded so special. Add the fact that his natural sense of timing was perfect. And you have a vastly important percussionist

Ringo's talent was knowing exactly what to play in every given Beatle song to make it unique.

the man made his carreer by NOT STRUGGLING with drum parts... thats a great teaching.

The genius of Ringo Starr is that he did what was necessary, and not what a lot of drummers do, which is show off, thereby destroying the balance of the rendition. He was not only a technically brilliant drummer, but knew what was needed to add and subtract from ' the recipe.'

Now I know why animal the drummer in the Muppets show always reminded me of Ringo. Ringo is soooo cool. 🎉

he's such a great drummer!, and so underrated, he's the perfect drummer for john paul and george, it wouldn't have been the same with another guy, I can't imagine the beatles without him

Ringo during the entire video: "I'm not a good drummer." Almost every comment: "Ringo is amazing!"

When I started as a drummer my big influences were Buddy Rich, Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham and Buddy Miles. It wasn't until a few years later that when I quit playing in a band and just jammed at home with a lot of different types of music for fun that I started really admiring and digging Ringo's playing. My band went from 1969 to 1976. The Beatles music for us was considered a bit tame since we were playing Hendrix, Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. SO later when I wanted to see just how many types of tunes that I could play along with, the Beatles were a easy choice, along with the Stones. SO it was then when I realized Ringo had that weird a swing going on. Since we had no internet or other venues of learning it took awhile to get the hang of it and really appreciate his style. I now count him as one of my favorite drummers. Plus he just seems like a really down to earth gentleman. I still haven't got that shoulder thing down though. :)

Ringo is so chill - honest humble and funny. Not a frontman , just keeping the beat and balance for the whole group - essential to the Beatles.

Ringo was always so funny, humble and friendly.

Ringo is just too awesome. He modest, humble, funny and a great gentleman. I'm savoring every moment while he's still with us.

I got teary at the end, hearing him sing about his hometown. I love him.

There is no one sane on this planet capable of hating Ringo Starr. What a lovely person!

He was exactly the right and inventive drummer the Beatles needed. Period. Love you, Ringo!

Just love this wonderful human being called Ringo Starr!

Ringo is brilliant. he created the “power drummer” which turned rock n roll i to rock. He did not mention that he also turned his sticks upside down, playing on the thick handles. Every rock drummer has Ringo in their DNA.

Ringo was the X factor in the Beatles. His drumming style, his fun loving attitude, and his upbringing thru the same clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg made him an easy fit foe John Paul and George.

I actually believe Ringo and Charlie Watts are among the very best. Simplicity personified yet very nuanced...love them both.

Him and the late Charlie Watts have mood swing and timing in all their drum patterns. Pure class.

During the Beatles hey day I was never a Ringo fan. But now I think he is the greatest and the Beatles sound would never be the same with out him. Love you Ringo!

We need to protect Ringo and Paul at all costs.

I love Ringos attitutde so refreshing.

Ringo's modesty reminds me of a legendary guitar player who had to work out a technique that overcame his missing/injured fingers.... Django Reinhardt was astounding, as is Ringo. He just seems so happy as he shares what must have seemed serious obstacles to his playing drums as a young man. He had much to overcome when he was young, including many illnesses. Thanks for posting this.

Humility. Let’s remember that quality when we get our ticket to ride. Thank you Ringo

Just an fyi since nobody knows- THAT IS DAVE STEWART FROM THE EURYTHMICS PLAYING WITH RINGO!!

A big reason why listening to a 50 year old Beatles record is still fresh and exciting................Thank you Richard Starkey

Such a humble gentleman! He explains his faults, laughs and goes with the flow. He made lemonade out of lemons - how great is that!!!!!! The one and only true Beatles drummer. Love live Ringo. I saw him the first time on Ed Sullivan live when I was 14 years old. It seems like yesterday. Thank you, Ringo.

Ringo is a great drummer. I saw him with his all Starr Band he was awesome. ♥

Modest and a gentleman to this very day. Rock on RIngo!

Ringo's unusual and original fills , gave The Beatles a lot of drive and variation in the drum backing, other drummers weren't doing. Not a soloist like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, but a great and unique backing drummer, more like a Hal Blaine.

I love this guy. I'm 65 now, grew up with The Beatles, and Ringo, and watching him here gives me the same zeitgeist as if he were part of my family. Living in the time of this special person is a gift, we're so lucky. God bless you, Ringo

I love Ringo. I’ve long he’d the prediction he will be the last of the group to go, and the news will play “Goodnight,” from the white album. Ringo seems like a truly happy man and you don’t see that too often.

All of this is good, but I am telling you, Those drums in "A day in the life" don't stop giving me goosebumps.

Some artists you just can’t copy. There’s only one Ringo, only one legend.

Ringo is a Magician and a Great Human Being, one of the Nicest and Greatest in many Centuries!

Mr. Starr is one of the most funny, Humble and coolest person in this world.

The quintessential back bone of the greatest pop rock band that ever existed.

less is often more, and Ringo is a great intuitive drummer

He was unquestionably the coolest guy in the Beatles, and he arguably was also the funniest. As for his drumming, there's a machine gun fill in Ticket To Ride that knocks me out EVERY time.

"I was left handed my grandmother didn't like that" thank you Ringo's grandmother, you created a genius

Love Ringo's pure honesty. No reservations about telling the world that he simply couldn't play a certain part or he couldn't play two different parts at the same time. Proof that Ringo was the perfect fit for the Beatles...whatever he played was the right thing to play. Legend.

Ringo's so CooL that water freezes when he walks by. And he really is a phenomenal drummer!!!

Ringo is the best drummer in the world what a guy. When I saw him on Ed Sullivan show I fell in love ❤

Ringo has always, always played down his genius on the drums. He was the mortar that kept the bricks together.

I bet Ringo can tell some stories.

Ringo is not a pretentious man yet extremely exceptional .

It's amazing how simple, yet hard to play, some of Ringo's beats are. Some is derived from being lef-handed, but also he just has his own way of solving problems with feel and creativity. John and Paul knew they had the right guy. Also he still looks amazing and is such a likeable soul. If you have the heart of a drummer you'll respect and appreciate Ringo. Anyone who can't is not a true drummer IMHO. Same for Charlie Watts. If you can't appreciate these legends then you are missing out and it is your loss.

So much to love about Ringo! Drums and humor and honesty. Thank you sir ; for all these years of joy! 🤟🏼🎶

Ahhh Ring, you are one in a million.

“Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down”! Never a truer word spoken.

Ringo's drumming style explanation is so wonderful

You just only can love this man!! He is just as authentic as can be.Great person!!

Beatles is not beatles without his drum , he is one lucky man , married a pretty lady and still kicking with his talent. God bless him.
