Dios que bien tocas

[dawei4321]

Another poor rendition. He is way off. I was playing this at 11 years old when it came out. Sony HD tape camera for $800 is great to use when you record a concert.

[yudof007]

lol ! you are Stuart Sutcliffe ? :D

[darkhorse65]

I like your performance and I must say I'd love to have a forelock like yours LOL!

[TheVideoful100]

I do like your drumming! Great.

[Daniloman2908]

cool, are you recording with Hi8 in these times?.lol, i wonder how do you do to upload this?

[TravisBarker182]

@Daniloman2908 lol yup, i run the camera through an rf modulator and my old computer has a coax in on the back of the computer

[marlo1204]

this was so good man! dude next time put some recording mics OH YEA !

[Yayo015]

This is a good cover. What i find funny is, you look like the former bass player of the beatles, Stuart Sutcliffe!

[TravisBarker182]

@Yayo015 haha wow I've never even heard of him. I looked him up and your right! thats cool :)

[bendesmond66]

@Yayo015 lol he looks exactly like sutcliffe

[TravisBarker182]

HA!

[Dodo251]

Great cover, horrible hair.

but think in terms of timpani sticks for playing life... that will give you the drum strikes you're looking for... and will also give you the much more subtle cymbal strikes that you hear on the (still very smart sounding if i do say so) original (a brilliant classical chap named tristan fry did contribute some real timpani by the way)... regular sticks, even thickies, are going to give you too sharp a crack... perhaps look at timpani sticks or devise your own with piecs of an old coton t-shirt.

[Drumguitarmen]

close. some tips... 1) tune your two deepest toms a deeper and 2) wrap some cloth around the tips of your sticks and tape below the tips to keep the cloth in place. good luck.

but nice start... much better than the much self-heralded drumguitarman.

[TravisBarker182]

really? floor toms deeper? how does the high tom sound? Ive never heard of that about the cloth, what kind of cloth?

[koreakutie]

Thanks for your note. Let's start with a quote from George Martin, a brilliant guy:

"Ringo always got and still gets a unique sound out of his drums, as sound as distinctive as his voice... Ringo gets a looser deeper sound out of his drums that is unique... This detailed attention to the tone of his drums is one of the reasons for Ringo's brilliance. Another is that although Ringo does not keep time with a metronome accuracy, he has unrivaled feel for a song." (Summer of Love, 1994)

[Xmenfan246]

"Starr is vastly underrated. The drum fills on the song "A Day in the Life" are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' He wouldn't know what to do." -Phil Collins on Ringo

[koreakutie]

also, ring didn't play drums to the other instruments in the band... he played drums to the voices... and he never competed with those voices... he always complimented the voices and the phrasing of a song. that's feel rather than technique.

and the tone thing is real important to ring's drumming. he'd always fiddle around with the tone of his drums and get his skins tuned right for whatever song was up. but he was usually on the deeper side of average, particularly from pepper and onwards.

[koreakutie]

now, the cloth thing you asked about... you've got to keep in mind the times when these tunes were recorded... very low tech compared with nowadays.

when the public first heard ring's drumming on life, they asked if it was tympanies he's playing. not quite, actually, but that's the right idea. the skins were lose, he played a little behind the rest of the band in tempo as if the drums were having the last word on each verse. (continued above)

[koreakutie]

the funniest part of all of this is that you look a little like stu.

[ShelterDogs]

Drumguitarman is a pretty humble person if you ask me. I don't see any of this "self-heralding" that you speak of in hsi videos. He even welcomes comments that mention mistakes. He actually made another Get Back video because someone mentioned that Ringo used towels. That to me is not someone who is full of himself.

[knabein]

leave ringo to the feelers...sorry bro

[tarkothegreat123]

IDOL..great cover

[TravisBarker182]

[MarianoBeatlero]

[yamchacolmillodelobo]

So good, man!

greetings from Spain

[vteca]

[caldwelllafer]

Anyone want this ringtone? I just got the official one at DownloadEveryTone. com they have everything and they are complimentary!

[zuider77]

Love it!! You added a great new groove to a Beatles classic.

[mrTooKanSam]

what snare is that?>

[TravisBarker182]

its a custom made snare that this guy my old friend used to know, the whole set is custom made. Do you like it?

[3377721]

Ужос нах

[CarlBewley]

Hey, I just removed my own comments because I sounded like a pompous arse. You play whatever way you like mate, sounds like you were well into it.

[dreemer777]
