I'd say The End or Long Tall Sally
What do you think?

Oooh, great topic! Long Tall Sally is right up there, but I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry Over You from the BBC sessions is worth considering. I was never that impressed with The End - although it's well played, I don't consider it that imaginative.

Surely it's Rain. Even Ringo says so! I agree The End solo is nice but it's not really a solo as such. Ringo always hated doing drum solos so this is really just a token gesture to bring in the guitar solos.
Another good drumming song is Good Morning, Good Morning. This song has so many time signature changes that Ringo sounds so comfortable with that you hardly notice the time changes. Come Together is another great drum track. Ringo really makes the song groove and the rolls bringing each verse in are almost a riff in themselves. Oh the list is endless!!! He is one of the top 5 drummers in the world for me.

I agree with Mr. Mustard on Rain. It was an amazing drum part. May I also suggest Something?

Yeah, 1966 really was a turning point for Ringo's style of playing.
I love his drumming on Tomorrow Never Knows as well - its repetition is so hypnotic and almost sounds like a drum machine! Didn't the Chemical Brothers try to emulate it with their track Setting Sun (with Beatle groupie Noel Gallagher on lead vocals of course!)?

'Rain' methinks. Consider he actually played it even *faster*, so that it could be slowed down, for that sluggish feel. I kind of liked the tambura stuff on 'Tomorrow Never Knows', but I doubt it's his best. And then there's also 'She Said, She Said'.
But when I think of his drumming, the opening to 'Tomorrow Never Knows' plays in my head xD

And those opening beats in TNK always bring me out in goosebumps - the whole song is just so ahead of its time.

Ringo's drumming is absolutely spot on - certainly at the beginning of the song and then he maintains it right through until the end. I love Ringo's drumming on 'Helter Skelter'. What a fantastic song. Mind you, Ringo wasn't the best drummer in the world. He wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles! . Class.

For me it has to be any of his contributions to the John Lennon Plastic Ono Band album, basic, heavy and no nonsense drumming. From Betles days, I've always had a liking for the fills on Let It Be, the album version.

The hi-hats on "What goes on" are crazy fast - like 180bpm. That's faster than a lot of typical dance music bpms. AND he's singing the whole way through...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's actually the fastest BPM in the Beatles catalogue? Or maybe All Together Now... or Act Naturally... or I've Just Seen A Face... or Help? Hmmmm that requires a new topic I think!

Helter Skelter, Ringo's famous words at the end of the song: "I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!"

Oh, iconic words. I remember I went to a concert and after covering The End the drummer yelled that (even though it was the incorrect song)

Obviously TnK ( although it was a "loop" and Ticket To Ride..

Was the drumming a loop? Not heard that before.

Ever since I read Lewihson, I thought it was...just reread it, and I might well have false memory syndrome !!!!
Although loops werte used there is no specific reference to them being utilised for the drumming..sorry .

Here Comes The Sun is pretty sweet.
BTW, The Chemical Brothers based an ENTIRE career on Tomorrow Never Knows!
P.S. Tomorrow Never Knows is a live backing track. Drums are played live. And the drums are a monstrous Ringo creation for a heavy mofo track! Take 2 was much better than Anthology's take 1
