This is quite interesting to see - highlights just how complex the drumming was on this track... especially when you consider that Ringo actually recorded it faster - the tape was slowed down on the released version!
Thoughts?

That was very pleasing to watch. I'm a drummer too and I could never get the hang of that swinging wrist action on the hi-hat.
Here's another thought. Ringo was a real musician when in the Beatles but afterwards, it's like his confidence in his playing (at least with other people) was totally gone. Constantly surrounded by the likes of Jim's Gordon & Keltner he got lazy and dependent on other drummers. I've never heard him do fills like on "Rain" or "A Day In The Life".

Good observation Amadeus and entirely accurate. What was Ringo's best drumming after the Beatles do you think?

I thought he was brilliant for the "Plastic Ono Band" but that was right at the beginning of the Beatles divorce. He was still a Beatle there. Now I have to plead ignorance about what he's drummed on in his own career. And on other's records.
But I thought he was afraid to really try anything on "When We Was Fab" or "Free as A Bird" which also sounds exactly like Jeff Lynn or Traveling Wilburys.
What do you think his drumming hi-lites are?

I think Ringo's best drumming post Beatles was Ringo Rama. 'Instant Amnesia' is awesome.
