THIS IS Bernard Lee "Pretty" Purdie, an influential and successful drummer from the 60's - 70's who alone played drums on 21 Beatles tracks - NOT Ringo. Bernie says Ringo Starr [Richard Starkey] never actually played drums on a Beatles track, but the ClA record label instead used 4... show more

Wow. Using session guys was standard industry practice but threatening him to secrecy… wow. Bernie is a character and REALLY good drummer. Purdie shuffle is infamous.

How do you explain that in videos/films of Ringo drumming with The Beatles, he is doing it correctly for each song? Also, which company is "the CIA record label"?

Wishing a very happy birthday to the legendary drummer of The Beatles, Ringo Starr, who turns 84 today🎉 Here in this video he tells a story he had with Paul McCartney. He basically tells that McCartney sent a song for Ringo Starr's EP album and the name of the song was 'The Sunshine Song'. The funny thing is that McCartney recorded the song and he even played the drums as well. When Ringo received the song and gave it a listen, they decided to take drum parts off the song and Ringo played the drums later on. 🎉🥁Happy birthday legend, thanks for all you contributed to Rock and Roll! #RingoStarr

“IT WAS RECORD-SHATTERING, PRECEDENT-SETTING, GROUNDBREAKING, EARTH-SHAKING, AND MONEYMAKING. The Beatles’ 1964 tour of North America would turn the entertainment business on its ear and forever change the landscape of the concert touring industry. Perhaps no musical act before or since will ever rival the Beatles on their incredible groundbreaking tour of 1964. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr not only would leave an indelible impression on their fans in the United States and Canada, but would leave the continent with fans hungering for more in 1965.” - Chuck Gunderson,

Remembering the great Papa Jo Jones who was born on this day in 1911. One of the most influential of all jazz drummers, noted for his swing, dynamic subtlety, and finesse, Jones was one of the first drummers to promote the use of brushes on drums, and shifting the role of timekeeping from the bass drum to the hi-hat cymbal. In an era when extroverted showmanship was admired among drummers, Jones seldom chose to solo; he was adept at dynamic shadings, and his mastery of playing drums with brushes was widely admired. He had a major influence on later drummers such as Buddy Rich, Kenny Clarke, Roy Haynes, Max Roach, and Louie Bellson. In addition to his artistry on the drums, Jones was known for his irascible, combative temperament. One famous instance of his irritable temper was in the spring of 1936, during a jam session at the Reno Club in Kansas City. A young Charlie Parker was attempting to play an improvised solo, but lost track of the chord changes; as a sign of contempt, Jones threw a cymbal from his drum kit onto the floor near Parker's feet to get him to leave the stage. Here, he is performing with organist Milt Buckner on L’Aventure du Jazz in 1972.

"You’re Gonna Lose That Girl” was recorded in a single afternoon on 19 February 1965 for the Help! soundtrack, with John Lennon singing lead and Paul and George building one of their tightest three part harmonies. It’s one of the few Beatles songs built almost entirely around vocal layering, and the hand percussion you hear was actually played by Ringo tapping bongos and claves. The scene in the Help! film shows the band performing it in a studio covered in snow,an effect made with foam machines that kept clogging the cameras. The track captures the Beatles right at the point where their pop sound was evolving into something more sophisticated. If you liked this reel, your gifts really help me post more ✨🖤🎁

CILLIAN MURPHY & JOHN LENNON/PLASTIC ONO BAND. Actor Cillian Murphy is known to be crazy about his music. A musician himself, his taste in tunes is widely celebrated, and he has gone on record a number of times to state his love for the Beatles and particularly their singer John Lennon. When it comes to Murphy’s favourite Lennon album, he can’t look beyond his debut solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Murphy was asked what the best music he’s ever been recommended is. He replied, “So I’m a Beatles fanatic, a Beatles nut, and I have been ever since I was very young. My dad has been playing the Beatles since I was tiny.” He added, “I don’t know what age I was, and I don’t know exactly who it was, but someone introduced me to the Plastic Ono Band, the John Lennon record. It’s probably one of my favourite records of all time. Probably my favourite solo Beatles record.” The record was originally released back in 1970 on Apple Records. Reflecting on the particularities of the album, Murphy noted. “He was going through this kind of primal scream therapy at the time. He was just 29 or 30; they’d just broken up. Every single song on it is perfect and beautiful. Ringo’s playing the drums, Klaus Voorman on bass, and it’s got ‘God’, ‘Mother’, and ‘Isolation’, and I think it’s an underappreciated record, but I go back to it over and over again.” 📺→ 🎧→ Rolling Stone @FarOut The Beatles John Lennon

This is arguably Pengaudzoke's best album for me. The drumline has a backstory. When this album was recorded the drummer had left the band. I think it was Lameck Fadueki. So Josphat was who also plays drums taught Rangarirai Mupombera to play drums a few minutes before a show in Karoi. Ranga was the gate security & cashier guy for the band. He had never played drums before. That is how we ended up with this jam. If you listen carefully he was missing some beats here and there but that is why it is a work of art.

Remembering the great Elvin Jones who was born on this day in 1927. Regarded as one of the most impactful drummers in jazz history, Jones’ revolutionary style transformed the drums as a traditional time-keeping instrument. He established a forceful polyrhythmic approach to the traps set, combining different metres played independently by the hands and feet into a propulsive flow of irregularly shifting accents. For over four decades, his innovative rhythmic technique has served as a catalyst for drummers who seek greater improvisational freedom. Here, he is performing “Take the ‘A’ Train” with Duke Ellington and his orchestra live in Italy, 1966.

Caveman (1981). "They don't call it the Stone Age for nothing." Ringo Starr, Shelly Long, Barbara Bach and Dennis Quaid star in this oft-forgotten Carl Gottlieb comedy. Starr plays lovable but inept Atouk, who must discover many things - including fried eggs and free drugs - to become leader of his tribe and win the love of one of two Cave Women. It's an elongated '60s slapstick that probably felt out of place at the start of the '80s. The callbacks to One Million Years BC and the madcap Beatles / Monkees comedy skits still work though: it is a genuinely silly film.

"Hey Ya!" was written, produced and recorded almost entirely by André 3000. He played acoustic guitar, keyboards, programmed the drums and did all the vocals (the only thing he didn't record was the bass, played by Aaron Mills). The track, featured on the album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003), became one of the biggest hits of his career. The video was directly inspired by the Beatles' historic performance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. The success was so great that "Hey Ya!" spent 9 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and won the Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.

Howie Rose was asked if there is a moment that he is hoping to call this season, his final one in the Mets' radio booth: "I've got two things on my bucket list - meeting Paul McCartney and/or Ringo Starr and calling the final out of a Mets World Series championship. Time's getting short for that, at least as far as I'm concerned. Paul and Ringo are in their 80s, too, so I've got to hit the gas here. But there's only so much that I can control."

gunil said the new song have an emotional vibe, but the drums aren't emotional at all since it's hard and has a lot of twin-pedal! 🐹 "seungmin said the synth part is intense this time. how about the drums?" ah maybe the song seungmin was talking about, where the synth is hard… if i give a tiny spoiler.. maybe… ah, no. i don't want to spoil it. anyway but the drums are also really, really hard. it's a big deal. it's really a big deal. the drums are so hard. there's also a lot of twin pedal in it. it's like maybe xdiz songs just wouldn't work anymore without twin pedals. somehow if there's no twin pedal, it feels like something's missing. 🐹 "is it like instead?" it's not like a super heavy or dark kind of song though. if i were to give just one spoiler, it has a somewhat emotional feel, but the drums aren't.

This year, there's an astonishing sight on Park Street in Kolkata. A year-round festival is taking place on Park Street on Jesus' birthday. There are few festivals like this in the world. People are walking; a mesmerizing walk amidst strings of lights. No pandals, no idols; just walking and taking pictures. That's the festival. But that's not all; this year, there is no mention of Jesus on Park Street.🤔 Instead, there are Kirtans (devotional singing) with the sound of drums, and no mention of Christ.🤭 Instead, there is worship of Krishna, and the Bhagavad Gita is being sold. And this isn't happening in just one place; it's happening all over Park Street.♥️ The people of West Bengal are awakening, the Hindus of West Bengal are awakening, Hindutva is awakening. Jai Shri Krishna. 🚩🚩🚩

Remembering the great Count Basie who was born on this day in 1904. Noted for his spare, economical piano style and for his leadership of influential and widely heralded big bands, Basie is considered as one of the greatest bandleaders of all time. Over a sixty-plus year career, he helped to establish jazz as a serious art form played not just in clubs but in theaters and concert halls. He established swing as one of the predominant styles in jazz music and solidified the link between jazz and blues. Here, he is performing “How High The Moon” with his orchestra, featuring Snooky Young on trumpet, Frank Wess on sax, Joe Newman on trumpet, Frank Wess on flute, Eddie Jones on bass, Freddie Green on guitar, Sonny Payn on drums, and Joe Williams on vocals live in Belgium, 1961.
