according to wikipedia, ringo threw his drumsticks across the studio, and as he was walking across the room (passing in front of mics of course) he would be able to shout the line...
@nirvanawd08 Listen "I am the Greatest", from Ringo Starr. When he shouts "I'm the greatest! and you better believe it, baby!" sounds like the the scream in Helter Skelter. That's another proof that Ringo yelled that famous line!
Best. Line. Ever.

I totally feel Ringo's pain. One time, I was playing bass a lot in rehearsal, and my fingers started to hurt. I had the exact same reaction!

He would have been able to shout the line even sitting in front of the drums, the panoramic microphones for cymbals would have captured the sound :)

It's John saying it.....Ringo wouldn't have had a vocal mic set up for the drum kit.

It's Ringo guys, I guess his hands were actually bleeding cause Helter Skelter was a jam that went on awhile

Yeah. And for the same reason when you dig long enough with a shovel, or use a handsaw for a while, you'll get blisters.

After hearing this, and the mention about going to the loo during Hey Jude, I have decided that
RINGO STARR IS THE COOLEST PERSON TO HAVE EVER LIVED.
