Outro:
Repeat Chorus 3/4
And of course, the 2 minute set of fills. Ringo's fills get gradually more
complex, starting by following the original pattern in the chorus and simply
hitting toms instead of snares. By the end, he is hardly making the same
pattern. I don't want to take the time to tab all of his fills, but there are
some consistent things.
-Beginning right after the bridge ends, there are 148 measures in 3/4 and
then one measure that abruptly stops on the first beat.
-Ringo's fills ALWAYS have three or six snare/tom/bass hits per ride cymbal,
three ride's per measure unless doing a long roll across the set.
-Try to syncopate the fills as much; stay away from just hitting "quarter quarter
quarter".
-Most importantly stay in 3/4, and never do a roll longer than
6 notes on one drum.
