-they were one of the first bands to really change their genre and risk alienating their fans
-first recorded use of samples (Revolution 9)
-arguably the first heavy metal track - Helter Skelter
-imaginative chord progressions and use of extended chords
-good use of key changes (these things are missing in modern rock/pop)
-they brought eastern instruments and spirituality into the western music genre
-and they just wrote some awesome tunes!

er...that's about the start of it

haha!!

well i guess i just dont appreciate the beatles cause ive grown/am growing up in a completely different era plus i havent heard a great deal of their stuff.....i dont really like their music though even if they were such a pioneering band.

I was born after the Beatles broke up but was way into them as a teen. I've kind of moved on since then (as contemporary rock and pop itself has/did), but I still appreciate their work. It did kind of have a big influence on what other musicians were doing at the time and on what came after.

On the other hand (staying on topic and trying not to draw the ire of the legions of Ringo detractors out there :)), my favorite drummers are Al Bouchard (Zildjian user, BTW), Sami Kuoppamäki, and ... I dunno, I quite like Barriemore Barlow's mad drumming with Jethro Tull in the '70s. No idea what cymbals Sami and Barrie use (though I think Barlow played a Vistalite drum kit in Tull).

(BTW, Al B's current band, The Brain Surgeons, includes ex-Dictators/ex-Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss, and their newest disc rocks muchly! OK, I'm kinda going off-topic again ....)

Same, I never liked their music, its all a bit boring for me but I didnt grow up "in their time"

Anyway yeah, I can normally fit a rhythm to most songs so long as they arent odd timing/technical in any way, I wouldnt mind a double kick pedal tho :twisted:

As for favourite drummers, John Bonhams style is great, as is the Pantera drummer (is his name Vince something?)

sambo · « **Reply #24 on:** February 03, 2006, 05:07:43 PM »

the drummer in my band has a double bass drum pedal- i presume thats the same thing as a double-kick pedal? :? either way they're really kool- the speed you can get from them is awesome :twisted:

carlaz · « **Reply #25 on:** February 03, 2006, 05:18:28 PM »

Double bass drum = double kick drum. You just need the intro to Motörhead's "Overkill" and you're away! :twisted:

Yeah, I always feel like I should mention Bonham as a fave drummer, but his sound just stands out as so ... inimitable, really! I love watching him play on that Zep DVD set; there's a fill towards the end of the "Kashmir" on that that is just brutal. Great stuff ....

(I think of Hendrix in the same way, in terms of guitar. Too seminal for me to list as just a "favorite" for some reason!)

Oh, man, I gotta mention Matt Abts (Gov't Mule) as a favorite drummer. I liked the band over all better with Allen Woody on bass, but when I saw them on the last tour Matt Abts just blew my $h1t away. He'd just touch the snare or the kick and it was like a cannon had gone off! He came over like a combo of Bonham and Moon. Incredible! (He's a Sabian cymbal player, I think!)

Good job I wasn't around when the Beatles bit of this thread came up ! All I will say to those who doubt Ringo's ability is "Rain" oh and "Good Morning Good Morning" . There you go I have said it- I will go back to my box now.
Hey Ratty mentions the Rolling Stones- now Charlie is the Stones according to Keef .

I heard McCartney played on both those tracks, mate. Get back out of your box!

N.B. That may or may not have been completely made up to fuel debate. :roll:
