Watched the Bee Gees doc last night. Was actually really moved.
Good recommendation. Watched this last night. I wish there had been a bit of information on what happened to their parent through the years of success and ultimate tragedy though.

So, I have always been a bit embarrassed by my lack of appreciation for the Beatles...like some sort of musical sociopath. I like them, but I'm not moved by them, and tbh I have a pretty healthy disdain for Ringo's parts. But, I understand and appreciate their impact and social consequence. Just finished the first McCartney 321 with Rick Rubin. Pretty powerful stuff. :rockon:

Tastes are tastes...I love Ringo's parts because as a drummer they fuck with my head...you may not be aware he sounds strange because he plays strange....he is a converted left hander on a right hand kit..his fills are LRLR..left lead on most things...it sounds, well like Ringo, that's why he sounds so different...do some fills with left lead it just feels and sounds so diff as you are accenting at a different time...

If you knew all this my bad...pretty common stuff....maybe this will catch the eye of someone who didn't know

Didn't know, but LRR and RLL would sound the same in a fill (or practicing) if played in time, no? For me, though I am right frustratingly right dominant, going LRR is a practice tool to attempt to equalize.

I've had this discussion with many players and I still stand by my anti-Ringo stance, but I do understand that the production on Beatles drums go a long way in my disdain. Funny, in the doc I mentioned they played Back in the USSR and I was thinking great job, Ringo. Turns out it was McCartney :lol: .

I am the same with the Eagles. I really despise them, but that dead sound on drums drives me nuts.

I very highly recommend Soundbreaking.

An 8 part music documentary that gives you an insight of the evolution of (recorded) music. Very interesting, even for non-musicians.

High profile musicians and producers are being interviewed (George Martin, Marc Ronson, Elton John, Roger Waters, Questlove, Rza etc etc) So not some third tier music journalist giving his point of view of how music works. .

Ok, I'll check it. The trailer won't play on your link citing copyright issues.

Maybe try this?

There are a few episodes on Dailymotion, but not all of them. I had to resource to Torrents to get the full 8 episodes ....
