  • Ringo was technically and musically better than Pete Best. Ringo was the missing piece of the puzzle. Ringo not only provided the beat, but was the soul of the band. Ringo kept the ego's in check when things got heated. Ringo spawned a generation of drummers (many famous drummers publicly acknowledged Ringo as the reason for playing drums, including:Bonham, Collins, Copeland, ect,.ect,.) Ringo provided no more nor less than was needed for The Beatles. Ringo was perfect.

  • George Martin later commented that Ringo was one of the most beat accurate drummers he ever worked with and made it possible to do the edits they did combining different takes.

    Great drumming isn't necessarily showmanship and solos, but listening the rest of the band, providing the beat and filling up the empty spaces - all of which ringo does admirably.

  • Best is too loud and obtrusive in the begining part.

    

  • @bjcpc0337 The video has nothing to do with the sound which is from a radio show.

  • The accurate John Lennon quote: "Pete Best was a drummer; Ringo Starr is a Beatle." (Beatles Monthly Book #249, January 1997, page 5) John never said Pete was "good" "better" or "great" -- just "a drummer."

  • @JeffersonDinedAlone Evidently, SOMEONE is deaf.

  • bests drumming was too fast.ringo came in and settled the band down.here the band is flying,no groove or backbeat.

  • @JeffersonDinedAlone Actually that is George Harrison singing the second tune, the first tune is Paul McCartney.

  • Ringo could sing and, apparently, Pete could not. This would have made Ringo more of an attraction as a drummer. Having a singing drummer just added more to the show. I think Ringo was a better drummer than Pete, for the Beatles, anyway. He understood their music better than Pete. Listen to the "Love Me Do" version with Pete on drums. You gotta wonder, what was he doing?

  • Looks more like Ringo's head-bobbing in the start of the clip and some of the photos???
