The Beatles: She Said She Said (Drum Cover)

As I mentioned in my video for "Please Please Me" an important album in The Beatles' discography on this date in 1966. The album of course is the fantastic Revolver. Released on August 5, 1966, the album was the last album released before The Beatles retired from live performances with their last concert being at Candlestick Park on August 29, 1966, just four weeks after the album's release. The album is their first album to include different studio techniques such reverse tape effects, automatic double tracking, tape loops, and many more.

To celebrate this spectacular release, like what I did with Sgt. Pepper, I will be covering Revolver in it's entirety minus "Eleanor Rigby" and "Love You To" since they do not have drums featured. I know some people wanted me to do Abbey Road, and I am sorry to disappoint you all, but I want to try and get some more equipment to make that album sound great. If all goes to plan, my next full album project will be Abbey Road which I hope to start on its anniversary release date in September. That is the plan and I am sticking to it. I also like Revolver a little more than Abbey Road, so that is also why I decided to this.

The first cover up for Revolver is the wonderful "She Said She Said." Inspired by an LSD trip with actor Peter Fonda, the song was the last song completed for the album and was the only song on Revolver to be completed in a single day. It was also Lennon's first composition he brought to the band in a couple months. Paul McCartney does not appear on this song after walking out of the session due to an argument. George Harrison provides the bass.

Of course the stand out on this song is Ringo's fantastic drumming. He is all over the place on this song. Like "Rain", he rarely plays the fill the same way twice. It's always different. His drumming seemed to get more complicated in the later years. They were no longer your traditional pop band, they were evolving and so was his drumming. Anybody who says Ringo can't play should check this song out. Check out the isolated drum track and see for yourself:

I apologize for the long description but there was much to talk about. I hope you enjoy this video and I hope you join me as I tackle every song on this album.

Little Fun Note: If you look carefully at around the 2:16 mark, behind the ride cymbal you can see a guitar fall over. I didn’t notice it until I was editing the video and saw it happen in the background. The guitar is fine however.
