Nice find. Saved.

I was looking for some video of Vinnie and came across this very special concert when the Bataclan in Paris opened after a terrorist attack the previous year.

4 years doing this was filed with experiences and stories. Turning up 3-5 nights a week and all the travelling between gigs does teach you a lot. And I had to sing and drum, 3-4 numbers a night which I had never done before. If you get the chance to do this then do it, it's a great teacher (not as great as @Stephen 😉). 🙂

Ahhh I love it! How great is that? I agree about it being creatively limiting reproducing someone else's work in tribute. But definitely worth a short time for the memory.

@David you look more like John than Ringo. The guy in blue looks like Ringo. Maybe you should have been a guitarist.

Me at the front.... We played our last gig on NYs day 2000 and then I put down the sticks for a long time.

I was in a tribute band for 4 years, it was interesting and the only time I made a living from drumming. It's not good for the creative process though. I was never a perfect Ringo but I kept it in his style... and the wig was not my favourite thing at all 🤣. I loved the music and we did do some more obscure stuff but it didn't played often. I'll post a picture for a laugh.

Definitely Revolver. Of the latest works by Giles Martin, this is the only one I just had to have because it is a favorite, and because Peter Jackson was so kind as to lend Martin the means to fully deconstruct this album into separate tracks and remix it from the ground up. I was dead curious how Ringo's playing would sound now that the kit had been broken into individual parts and rebalanced. Yes, shame that tribute bands generally stick to the stage performance material. When I am good enough I wouldn't mind joining one for a time. Just to co-exist with my most favorite drummer for a while. There used to be an all woman tribute band around here, but not seen them for a while. I used to joke with them that if they ever needed a Jimmy Nichols "call me." P.S. The album also features "Rain" played at full speed. Mind blown. No wonder Ringo always claimed he was possessed and on fire that day.

I think this is my absolute favourite Ringo performance and this is my favourite Beatles album. Shame we never played this in the Beatles tribute band I was in but there's time yet 🙂

I'm late, but I picked up the 2022 Remix and Remaster of Revolver, and wow. Martin really managed to bring Ringo up in the mix. The remixed "She Said She Said" really makes Ringo shine here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZOBWYHgZjw You can finally hear the bass drum how it should be heard. Ludwig Squeak King not included. Walsh, Ringo & Co-Funk #49 is one of favorite vids to visit. I should be minding Ringo for a lesson but I still spend most of my time watching Lee Sklar. He is back there so chill.

Great video breakdown of Elvin Jones style by Drumeo.

Went to a drum clinic locally a few years back with him and found him to be a very cool guy.

Fantastic!. I seen Craig on a lot of Roland videos but never really looked him up, this is great and one I'll research further.

Found this series of brilliant videos on youtube, really worth studying imho.

I found this very interesting, the circle is some I've not seen for rhythm before but works well. There is a spreadsheet link on the YouTube page containing all the rhythms: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19_3BxUMy3uy1Gb0V8Wc-TcG7q16Amfn6e8QVw4-HuD0/edit#gid=0 Thanks @Eyal for suggesting to add the link

@RobertThis list looks great to me, perfect! I knew this would be a busy shelf 🙂 All what I would call Rock n Roll, Heavy rock, Heavy Metal, Prog rock etc. Pop-Rock My thinking was we have the sections in Rock for drummers where we list albums and videos as a resource. I hink is area is for those albums you have a special love for and recommend to people who may not have heard them, just like you have, so I can go get a taste. Not a discography, thats on Wikipedia, more a 'You have to hear this album from this band'. I've listened to very few of the artists you mention, bar Judas Priest (a local band as it happens!); So now I know what to listen to to get a taste of Krokus, I've got Headhunter on now! Think of this as a taster menu 🙂 ... I'll reword the intro, this was very helpful. @Bob Add an album or 2 to each one, ones you love or think are an essential example of that band. And you've hit the nail on the head, I need to add more categoies: Funk/Disco, Soul, Blues. Don't think of this as a definitive list, its a taster menu... and so much new stuff to listen to.... I have to do a section for Hendrix/Mitch and Santana/Michael.... Ohh Mountian... Lesley/Corky 🙂 Don't worry about the mess, we are here to play and not get to bogged down by the rules, the music is the only thing that rules here!

John Mayall, Paul Butterfield, Allman Brothers, Captain Beefheart, Buffalo Springfield, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Doors, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Mountain, Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground, Steely Dan, Eagles... And don't forget Parliament-Funkadelic!
