Demonstration of the Drums for "Come Together" by the Beatles

JOEL SIEGEL: You recognize that beat? If you were born before 2000, we'll say you probably do. That's Ringo Starr's beat for "Come Together," that's a Beatles tune--John Lennon. I wanted to show you the first part is obviously nothing close; we haven't covered anything close to that. But the beat that he goes into, that's something that you've already played. You just maybe don't know it yet. We've been working with the hi-hat. I just wanted to ramp the time to illustrate that this stuff that we're playing, sometimes it'll get tedious but it's just part of building your vocabulary, and sometimes even just this really simple stuff will get integrated into music that's lived on for 50 years already.
