Ringo Starr Once Explained the 1 Thing He Could Never Do as a Drummer

Only a handful of rock drummers are on a first-name basis with most of the world. Ringo Starr is one of them. The timekeeper for the Beatles has some impressive drumming skills and crafted beats that are instantly recognizable. Despite his talents behind the kit, Ringo said there is one thing he could never do as a drummer because of his emotional style.

Ringo sat in the background as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison provided the melodies that helped drive the Beatles’ popularity. Still, there’s no doubt the kitman left his mark on the band.

“Come Together” wouldn’t be the same without Ringo’s rolling, tom-heavy beat. He drives the menacing closing moments of “I Want You (She’s So Heavy),” and Ringo puts on a memorable display in the early part of “The End.” Really, all of Abbey Road gives Ringo a chance to shine in a way he hadn’t before.
