The Beatles - Dear Prudence - Amazing Drum Solo isolated - Ringo Starr Ending [HQ]

[supermd4589]

Ringo does not drum on this song. FACT. He did not re-do anything on it. It's all Paul!

[Tuberman67]

Yes, it sounds complex, but remember, it is Paul freakin McCartney. If he wanted to sound like Ringo, he certainly knew how to do it.

I've always thought it was Ringo on the end. The way he comes out of a fill is quite unique.

[BertLeysen]

I checked Mark Lewisohns book 'The complete recording sessions', but he doesn't say very much about the drumming. It's clearly Ringo drumming the outro, but he returned the day after the initial sessions for the song and joined the promo-clips of Revolution and Hey Jude. Maybe after filming these clips, they might've gave Ringo a listen of what they'd recorded without him (initially there was a lot of handclapping on the outro) after which he might've done his part of the drums immediatly.

Paul played drums for most of this song but this ending is so Ringo for me and I have debated much about that, Paul simply did not have that skill and neither did he prove himself to have any drumming skills close to that level previously or subsequently and the fills were characteristic of Ringo. For you doubters, listen to the fills on Hey Jude and listen to Ringo's song called "Vertical Man", around the middle of that song, Ringo did a groove with 90% similarity to this groove.

Ringo had technically quit during the recording sessions for this song and Back in the U.S.S.R. so Paul played the drums for both songs.

[RuberHammer]

@hoobadoobler I know, but I think the ending was overdubbed by Ringo over Paul's drumming. You can hear another drum track on the isolated track if you listen carefully with headphones.

[ResidentSociopath]

@RuberHammer Paul did all the drumming. Earlier bootleg takes of this song, specifically take 1, have close to the exact same drumming as the final version used on the White Album. Why would Ringo redo Paul's drumming on every take? He wouldn't, which leads me to believe that the version we hear on the White Album is, in fact, Paul. Or, at least, Paul proved he was capable of drumming at this level.

[moople72]

It's Paul all the way, my friends.

[me4ever22c]

No, it was Paul that did this. Ringo had stormed out during the sessions for this song and a couple others on "The Beatles (The White Album)".
