I'm in a Beatles cover band (or tribute band?) and I'm trying to find what are those little things that make Ringo's drumming special. Except his hair of course!
At the moment I'm especially struggling with his fills. I just can't get a good swing when playing those. And also, what about the bass drum? You can barely hear it on recordings, so am I supposed to caress the head or hit like a donkey?
Now about cymbals and drums!
I have a 20" Sabian AAX Stage Ride at the moment and it doesn't work at all. I can't 'crash' it, it sounds like a gong. My 20" HHX Evolution and Paiste Rude don't work either (oubviously).
So which ride will do the trick? I thought about a 20" AA Rock Ride or maybe a Zildjian Avedis Crash/Ride?
Don't hesitate to tell me about other things, Ringo's playing is much more than what's in this post!
Thanks
