The Beatles: Got To Get You Into My Life (Drum and Tambourine Cover)
“Got To Get You Into My Life” is the penultimate track on The Beatles’ 1966 album Revolver as well as being the first Beatles song to feature a horn section. A homage to the Motown sound from the 60s, the song was written primarily by Paul who explained that the song is actually an ode to pot and not another person.
Recording of the song commenced on April 7, 1966 during the second day of recording for the album. The first takes featured a harmonium played by Paul and an acoustic guitar from George as well as backing vocals from John and George. Take five from this date would be eventually released in 1996 on Anthology 2, while the complete take without a fade out would be released in the Revolver Super Deluxe box set in 2022. The following day, the song had a new arrangement and takes six, seven, and eight were recorder with eight being the take selected for overdubs. The song sat untouched for over a month until work was resumed on May 18 with the addition of the brass instruments. Included in the deluxe box set as an unnumbered mix from the April 8 session, as well as take eight which highlights the brass section.
Ringo’s drum part on the song is pretty straightforward. It’s a quarter note groove on the hi hat during the verses and switches to the ride cymbal during the choruses. I always liked how Ringo keeps time on the hi hat during the intro and interludes throughout the song. It’s just simple quarter notes on the hi hat, but I think it’s just so interesting. His fills are strictly limited to the snare and rack tom acting as transitions between the song’s various sections. As the song starts to fade out, Ringo can be heard switching the fills up and even goes over to the floor tom (2:23). The fills from 2:19 onward go pretty much unnoticed in the song as they are buried by the brass instruments and heard right as the song ends. However, deconstructed videos of the isolated tracks in the song allow listeners to hear what Ringo is playing. It’s too bad they are pretty much nonexistent in the final release because they are some great fills. But it’s great to hear them nonetheless.
Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy!

*Backing track had to be lowered in volume and slightly in pitch to avoid copyright* Almost two years ago, we were gifted with a lovely super deluxe edition of the album Revolver that came with many goodies. We heard an additional verse and middle eight that was cut out of “Doctor Robert'', an early demo recording of “Yellow Submarine'' sung by John, and of course the original speed of “Rain” b...

A little over two years ago, I had uploaded a cover of "What Goes On" which I'll admit had a few inaccuracies. To start, I was doing Ringo's hihat swish pattern which he does not do when playing fast shuffles like this. While playing it this way was a great challenge, listening back now it sounds to stiff and messy. I also missed a few notes here and there throughout the original cover. Recentl...

Perkins recorded the song at Sun Studios (originally known as Memphis Recording Service) in 1956 and was produced by Sam Phillips. Despite being only a B-side, the song has gone on to become one of Perkins’ best-known recordings and has been covered by many other artists. Being fans ...

Dating all the way back to the White Album sessions in 1968, the wonderful “Let it Be” can be viewed as Paul McCartney’s swan song while still being a member of The Beatles. It was the last single the group released before his departure from the band, the album of the same name and the follow up “The Long And Winding Road” would eventually be released after the group’s breakup. We’ve all heard ...

*Due to copyright, song had to be turned down quite a bit* The second track off of Let it Be, “Dig A Pony” was written by John Lennon for his soon-to-be wife Yoko Ono. The song features strange lyrical phrases that John has described as “a Bob Dylan style of lyric” that remind me of Dylan’s 1965 song “Tombstone Blues” for Highway 61 Revisited. As is the case with many songs Lennon write, he was...

“One After 909” is the earliest song from the Let it Be album.

The album version was recorded during the famous Rooftop concert on January 30. An alternate studio version can be found on the second disc in the Let it Be...

In 1965, they were hired by Bob Dylan to be his backing band for his 1965 US tour and again for his 1966 world tour. From 1968-1977, they rele...

@@SheelmayajairaEvansHernández thank you very much!
This and your previous video Rain...the bass drum is my idea of the perfect controlled punchy yet full 60's sound. Are those Ambassadors on both batter and reso side?
@@dav2145 thank you very much! Ambassador on the batter side, reso head has the stock Ludwig drum head that came with the drum when I got the kit.
Need the song with it.
@@CraigfromLA copyright wouldn’t let me have the song any louder
Super 😎 cool
@@jroc2201 thank you very much!
John: “When a man buys a ticket for a Magical Mystery Tour, he knows what to expect we guarantee him the trip of a Lifetime, and that’s just what he gets, the incredible Magical Mystery Tour.”
one small thing: in the first half of the verses Ringo doesn't play the kick on beat the, only 1 and the and of 4
@@hamueramusic when I listened to the isolated drum track on CZcams as well as the one I had from Moises.ai, I thought I heard a bass drum on beat three. There is something there that’s not a snare drum. So I’m only playing what I heard.
Glad to see more Revolver stuff!
@@magraretsbane6274 some great drumming on Revolver! “She Said She Said”, “Tomorrow Never Knows”, “I Want To Tell You”, they’re all great!
@@davidmontis7259 Not to mention the sludgy heaviness of I’m Only Sleeping and the explosive work on Taxman, really great stuff
Again, great job!! love the subtle changes in the Bass drum pattern.

Great job once again David! I always look forward to your videos!

Noooice!
@@GretschMan878 thanks man!
Amazing job!
@@jessicacosiguitar thank you very much Jess!
Awesome drum and percussion cover, also, when are you going to do Yellow Submarine yet, it’s one of The Beatles number one hit songs on Revolver, and it was released as a single backed with Eleanor Ridgby in August 5, 1966, the same day the Revolver album came out.
@@mercymallari1060 thank you very much! I’ll do “Yellow Submarine” real soon.
@@davidmontis7259Ok, make sure you do a Tambourine cover of it too.
Can you mix down significantly the original song please?
Omg yeah!
Sorry if you think the original song is up too high in the mix but I personally believe it is a happy medium. You can hear the drums and how they blend in with the backing track. For future videos though I will make sure I have the song a little lower.
Great song! One of the best on the album!
@@IsaacWale2004 thank you very much! It is a great one!
Ignore the two hi hat hits at 1:09. I forgot to remove them from the audio. I know they are not in the actual song.
Boa David !!!!!!!
I'm a big fan of the "garage rock" outtake with the fuzztone guitar, choppy rhythm guitar and backing vocals. I felt it was more "rock and roll" and less "Motown". It's amazing what Paul, Big George M and Emerick did taking just the bass and drums from the outtake and turning it into the version we know and love. You nailed Ringo's clearly Motown influenced groove here! Great work, my friend! I see you have a new tambourine, too!
@@JacobKMusics thanks Jacob! Got the tambourine a few months ago, but haven’t really used it all that much except for my “I’m The Greatest” video. Much better than my old one.
what hihats are those? they sound identical to the original
@@hamueramusic vintage 14” zildjian Avedis
I never thought there were 2 drum tracks on this song. great recreation!
@@hamueramusic thank you very much! The two drum tracks go unnoticed, but you can hear them when you listen to the isolated track.
You literally rocked the hell out of the drums on that song, Awesome drum cover.

David montis playing the first punk rock on history 😊 And please make a drum cover of got to get you into my life

Great job David! This really shows how great of a drummer Ringo is, and how great of a drummer you are that you could replicate it so well.
@@tommy36012 thank you very much!
Awesome video.
@@mercymallari1060 thank you very much!
@@davidmontis7259Your welcome, also, I saw your Instagram post about this video, you were right this song was actually considered Ringo’s favorite drumming moment of The Beatles career.
The amount of right-hand stamina required to play this song is insane. And he did it while keeping a steady tempo AND singing. Great job as always!
@@TheGodsMustBeCrazy thank you very much! Not an easy thing to play!
Love it David!!!!
@@lg4360 thank you very much!
That was really nice
@@andypandywalters thank you very much!
Finally! I've been waiting for this video for so long! Actually I think the first cover of this on CZcams. You did great but the snare's supposed to be higher👍🏻
@@perfectpiano1871 thank you very much! I do believe it is the first cover on CZcams! could have tuned the snare drum higher and looking back I wish I did. But I didn’t want to record again because it took a long time to get a decent take.
@@davidmontis7259 yeah I know how it is.
This is great! The way you play it makes it believable that Ringo did play it at that speed. A testament to him and you!

Incredible!

Great!

I tell ya, The Beatles are defly pioneers of rock & hip-hop!😆👍mostly due to prolly Ringo’s drumming👍

That’s the stuff! Cool seeing you revisit some songs :)

Great version and al lot of applause about yout hi hat technical work.

@davidmontis7259 this song should be a challenge in jigsaw, its so hard, your hand is non-existent after playing it

Very well played, How many microphones did you use for the drums? sounds really good
@@haibanez thank you very much! Three microphones: one on the snare, one on the kick, and an overhead.
Excelente, saludos bro
@@allansanchezbriones4685 thank you very much!
The most complete drum cover of an interesting song
@@paulwelch565 thank you very much!
*trivia:* Ringo used that kick pattern more than any other and What Goes On is by far the fastest tempo he used it at. I think the second fastest with that beat is Run for Your Life. The earliest example of Ringo using it is the middle of I Want to Hold Your Hand and the earliest two examples I've found of it overall are both Stevie Wonder tracks: Fingertips and I Call It Pretty Music But the Old People Call It the Blues. And the drummer on those two tracks? (wait for it) Marvin Gaye. This dude could play some drums! He also played on Dancing in the Streets and Please Mr. Postman. Can anybody think of an even earlier example??
@@kevinmoore4237 I’ll have to do some research if there are any earlier examples. I didn’t know Marvin Gaye played drums on this recordings. That’s awesome! Thanks for the info!
Ringo was a genius all Beatles records have their unique drum patterns and fills

I am curous what it would sound like if the hi hat was a little more open.
@@stephenstrang590 I’d assume it’d sound like the choruses to She’s A Woman if Ringo had the hi hat slightly opened.
