    Im sorry, I bet you are a good drummer, but thats absolutely not how that song was played. Besides other things, even the drum fill in the intro is played wrong, not only because theres no crash cymbal in your version, but because the toms are not played like that. I know that even Ringo thinks he played like that, but he forgot. Its absolutely not what we hear in the isolated drum track. If you guys want to play that song like Ringo really did, David Montis performed an exact cover of that song.

    • @ThomMillsDrums
      @ThomMillsDrums День тому

      If you’re referring to going floor Tom and then rack Tom instead of the more standard rack floor fill, I definitely feel and hear it being that way, and like it or not if Ringo says that’s how it goes that’s how it goes man!

    good video but as regards the sound recording: the level when you drum is ok but afterwards the micro is completely weak due to the AGC and so it takes time to hear your voice again with a good level. You can improve on that. Thanks anyway, it was good.

    • @ThomMillsDrums
      @ThomMillsDrums 20 днів тому

      Thanks for this, yes I’m aware of this, it’s due to switching between the drum mics and a camera microphone. I need to leave more space after finishing playing before I start speaking, but thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!

      Yes it is a RC, just a year or so before it was called a recording custom, but exactly the same kit. They only added the full length lengths and called it a recording custom. It’s a 1978 model think in 79/80 was started called a RC. Got it for a great price too, fantastic kit!
