About the Song:
Dont Let Me Down is one of The Beatles most emotionally raw and blues-infused ballads, co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and recorded during the Let It Be sessions in 19691970. Originally released as a B-side to the Get Back single, and featured in the historic rooftop concert, the song is a fan-favorite for its soulful melody, pleading lyrics, and honest, live feel.
Ringo Starrs drumming is both subtle and powerful, driving the track with deep pocket grooves, syncopated fills, and sensitive use of cymbals and toms. His performance is a study in musical restraint and emotional support, making this an excellent piece for drummers learning to play expressively, maintain solid time, and serve the song with feeling.
