The floor tom is a tom-tom with a stand or legs that rests on the floor. The bass drum produces a low sound and is operated with the foot by stepping on a pedal. The snare drum is a shallow drum that best showcases the drummer's particular style. The basic cymbals are the huge ride cymbal, the crash cymbal (used for accents), and the hi-hat, which has two stacked cymbals whose separation can be adjusted to lengthen or shorten the cymbals' sound.

Paul and drums

Our kid was first in a group with John called Quarrymen, and apparently, I’d forgotten the set of drums fell off the back of a lorry, as we say in Liverpool, and landed up in our house. So I was learning drums, and one of the Quarrymen came back and said, ‘I remember you’re coming down the house, and it was great when you played drums for us.’ I said, ‘Did I?’ I’d totally forgotten. But then I realized why I forgot. It’s because I broke my arm in a scout camp, and this hand dropped. It was dead, paralyzed. So it took several years to get it back, and at that time, those drums that I was learning on, first of all, my brother, no wonder the drums on the band on the road are good. That’s where he learned it from my drums. But I couldn’t play anything then. So I’d forgotten that I was even the drummer, and Ringo got the job.

(Mike McCartney)

Mersey Beat Founder and Editor, Bill Harry wrote a guest column for Beatle Fan Magazine in 2019. He stated “For their August 7, 1961 gig, the Litherland Town Hall classified advertisement in the Liverpool Echo carried the message: ‘Hear Pete Best Sing Tonight.’ Best had been talked into performing the song “Pinwheel Twist,” which Paul had written for him to sing. Pete recalled in a conversation with Spencer Leigh: ‘Paul wrote the song and asked me to do it. He coupled it with Joey Dee’s hit “The Peppermint Twist.’ I used to get up and do the twist onstage and Paul played my drums. It was a little novelty act and it went down well with the fans. When The Beatles performed it, Paul took over on drums, George played Paul’s left-handed bass right-handed and Pete sang.”

(Source)

I used to get on Pete’s case a bit. He’d often stay out all night. He got to know a stripper and they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She didn’t finish work until four in the morning, so he’d stay up with her and roll back at about ten in the morning and be going to bed when we were starting work…

(Paul McCartney, Anthology, 2001)

Q: When did you first play drums? A: My first recollection is in Hamburg. You’d get behind the kit to try and show the drummer what you wanted. That gradually grew to messing around on other people’s kits, which were lying around because there were a lot of groups playing in the places we played. You picked up the simplest beats very naturally. I remember one evening when Tony Sheridan’s drummer didn’t show up, so Tony said, “Come on, man, sit in!” I said, “No way! I can’t do this.” And he said, “Yeah, you can.” So I did it and then I was thinking, “Well! I’ve actually done a professional drumming gig!” Later, with The Beatles, there was a period where John, George, and I operated as a trio and picked up little bits of work. I remember playing in an illegal club in somebody’s basement on Upper Parliament Street in Liverpool’s Caribbean Quarter. One day this guy called Lord Woodbine, who ran the club, asked if we’d come in and accompany this stripper called Janine. We said, “Wow! Yeah, man! There’s a job.” He even paid us money. Q: It sounds like you would have paid him for that gig. A: Exactly [laughs]. So she came in and said, “Okay, I need you to play Ravel’s Bolero.” We said, “Oh, gee. Sorry, luv. We don’t read music. But we’ve got ’Raunchy.’ That might do.” I had somebody’s old drum kit, and I sat there with a broomstick between my legs, with a microphone tied to it so I could do a bit of vocals and drum at the same time. It was hilarious.

(Paul McCartney, interview with Robert L. Doerschuk for Drum!Magazine, 2005)

Q: When Ringo joined the band, that must have interrupted your emerging career on drums. A: Yeah, I was completely redundant. We loved Ringo so much. He was our favorite drummer in Liverpool, and when he joined the band, it was an explosion: Every song sounded new and fresh. He could pass what we felt was the true test for drummers, which was to be able to play “What’d I Say” — the cymbal work and the toms.

(Paul McCartney, interview with Robert L. Doerschuk for Drum!Magazine, 2005)

We did do a few little bits and pieces together before we all went our separate ways. John and I and Yoko did ‘The Ballad of John and Yoko’. He enlisted me for that because he knew it was a great way to make a record. ‘We’ll go round to Abbey Road Studios. Who lives near there? Paul. Who’s going to drum on this record? Paul. Who can play bass? Paul. And who’ll do it if I ask him nicely? Paul.’ He wasn’t at all sheepish about asking. He probably said something like, ‘Oh, I’ve got this song I want to record. Would you come round?’ And I probably said, ‘Yeah, why not?’

(Paul McCartney, The Lyrics, 2021, about Dear Friend)

Steve Miller happened to be there recording, late at night, and he just breezed in. ‘Hey, what’s happening, man? Can I use the studio?’ ‘Yeah!’ I said. ‘Can I drum for you? I just had a fucking unholy argument with the guys there.’ I explained it to him, took ten minutes to get it off my chest. So I did a track, he and I stayed that night and did a track of his called My Dark Hour. I thrashed everything out on the drums. There’s a surfeit of aggressive drum fills, that’s all I can say about that. We stayed up until late. I played bass, guitar and drums and sang backing vocals. It’s actually a pretty good track. It was a very strange time in my life and I swear I got my first grey hairs that month. I saw them appearing. I looked in the mirror, I thought, I can see you. You’re all coming now. Welcome.

(Paul McCartney in Many Years From Now by Barry Miles, 1997)

I really had to ask myself, “Do I want to give up music, or keep going?” I got a four-track Studer recording machine, like the Beatles used for Sgt. Pepper, put it in the corner of the living-room at my house in London and tried a very simple technique of just plugging directly into the back, not going through a mixing desk. It’s a cool way to record because it’s pure. If, say, I was doing a drum track, I’d play the drums, record it with one microphone, listen to it back, move the mike a little if there wasn’t enough hi-hat or cymbal, and then re-record. Then I’d add bass by plugging the mike into track two and overdubbing while listening to track one through headphones. I’d do that with all with four tracks. It was very hands-on, primitive way of working. <…> It was funky, and still sounds good to me.

(Paul McCartney, “Wingspan” documentary, 2001)

We did not see Ringo until the next night when he arrived at the session. He walked in and went straight to his drums…fiddled with them, then fiddled with them some more. “Somebody did something to my snare drum,” he said irritably. “Paul was here last night. He played them,” explained John. “He’s always fucking around with me things!” It sounded as though Ringo were back in Liverpool and all of them were still teenagers and nothing in their lives had changed. I realized then, that no matter what might happen among them, this was the way they would always relate to each other.

(May Pang, Loving John, 1983)

(Krla Beat, pic by lisamarie-vee)

So, I got into my studio in Scotland and started working, doing the drum track. I normally start with the drums. I sometimes use drum machines, but I like to redo it with real drums. I enjoy drumming. Then I put some bass on it. I was just doing an experimental thing. I was messing around and experimenting. Slowing down tapes, or speeding them up.

(Paul McCartney, The Lyrics, 2021, about Coming Up)

Paul and I were in England, having dinner together [along with our wives]. I told him I was making an EP, and I said, “Why don’t you write me a song?” He wrote the song [Feeling the Sunlight] and put bass on it, he put piano, he put the drums on — and I had to take the drums off. [Laughs.]

(Ringo Starr, interview with Rob Tannenbaum for AARP, Nov 2023)

George was the first one to make a solo album [Wonderwall Music], and I was the drummer. John started the Plastic Ono Band, and I was the drummer. Paul likes to play drums himself, or I would’ve been on his albums too.

(Ringo Starr, interview with Rob Tannenbaum for AARP, Nov 2023)

Q: As strong as you are on bass, keyboards, guitar, and as a singer and writer, is it frustrating to play your drum parts at a more limited level? A: That never intimidates me, though it probably should. I just have so much enthusiasm when I do things that I don’t even consider it. I’m lucky, because some people would wrack themselves with doubt, but when I came to this project I was like, “Man, let’s just have a bit of fun!” It didn’t occur to me that I was some idiot jumping on the kit. I know that a lot of drummers can play rings around me, but as long as I keep it simple and don’t get too flash, I can play with a steady, swampy feel, and that’ll do the job.

[muzaktomyears]

I'm obsessed with the machinations of John and Paul to bring George into the Quarrymen. They were so awful.

Colin (the drummer) says that once John had heard George play (engineered by Paul, of course), John and Paul decided to get rid of Eric (the third guitarist) so that they could get George into the group. However, they still needed Colin's support and they didn't just ask him right away because Colin and Eric were friends (Eric got Colin into the band). They also didn't dare just fire Eric to his face.

Instead John and Paul convinced Colin to go with them (and without Eric!) to see a potential future venue and oh! 14-year-old schoolboy George Harrison just happened to be there! with his guitar! which he then played like he was auditioning! Which was a bit odd but whatever.

John and Paul then sent Nigel (the manager) to find Colin a few days later and get him to agree that George was a good guitarist, and when he agreed Nigel confronted him with the fait accompli that John and Paul wanted Eric out and George in and that was fine with Colin, right?

Colin said yes because his opinion obviously couldn't sway anything at this point, plus he felt his own position in the band was not all that secure. Nigel then went to relay this to John and Paul who were sat in Mendips waiting for an answer (lmao).

Finally they got Nigel (poor Nigel!) to ring a blissfully unaware Eric and tell him if he didn't buy an electric bass guitar (very expensive) then he had to leave the band.

Result: Japage3! (plus Colin)

this might be a really stupid question but i do not know Music Stuff but um. what instrument is a baritone

Eyyy! a question I am prepared to answer!

So. A trumpet is, like, the standard brass instrument. Its tubing, without pushing any valves down, is about 4.5 feet long, so when you push air through it, you get a partial series based on B-flat 3, which is right below the middle C on a piano.

But trumpets are kind of in a stupid range, so people wanted to go lower. So to go an octave lower, they have to double the length of the tubing, and that gets you a whole family of low brass instruments:

Trombones, baritones, and euphoniums!

(The slide and the valves have the same purpose: to make the tubing longer to be able to hit other notes. The slide lets you just extend the tubing, and the valves redirect the airstream into little tubes that end up making the total length of the path a bit longer.) All three of these have the exact same length of tubing; if you put the same air through, the same notes come out. The difference is in the shape of the tubing.

In a trombone, if you unwind and straighten it out, the tubing would be pretty evenly cylindrical, right up until the very end. This gives it a bright and edgy tone.

In a euphonium, the tubing starts to flare out much earlier, so it's a lot more conical. This makes the tone a lot softer and darker and more mellow.

A baritone is right in the middle; not as cylindrical as a trombone, not as conical as a euph.

However! These are the concert models; these are for sitting down in an indoor space where it's alright for the sound to go upwards because you don't want to overpower the (WEAKLING) woodwinds and strings.

When you're outside, marching, you want the sound to go forwards and smack the audience in the face. So they made marching models!

The one on the left is a bugle-style marching baritone, and on the right is a bugle-style marching euphonium. Same length of tubing, same range, but different shape of tubing, so different tone, so the parts are written differently. (and different size. having marched both, the baritone is much kinder to arm and shoulder muscles.) These are used by drum corps and by most high schools that march dci-style shows.

... and then there's this idiot instrument.

This is a traditional-style marching... euphonium? baritone? nobody really knows. You could argue that it's a euphonium, because the tubing starts to flare out fairly early, but I've only ever heard them called baritones, so..??? It's used by a lot of colleges and high schools that are going for more traditional styles.

So like, this:

versus this:

Just style preferences ig. Marching brass is a weird world.
