Chapters
Sir Paul McCartney has spent more than 60 years making music, but there’s one side of his musicianship that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: his drumming.
In this video, we explore Paul’s unexpected drumming career, from his early days before The Beatles became famous to iconic performances on “Back in the U.S.S.R.,” “Dear Prudence,” “Maybe I’m Amazed,” and “Band on the Run.” We’ll break down the grooves, fills, and musical instincts that define his playing style, exploring why Paul doesn’t necessarily drum like a conventional drummer — he drums like a songwriter.
With his new album The Boys of Dungeon Lane, we get another chance to hear Paul behind the drum kit. And with access to the drum stems straight from Paul’s team, we’ll go beyond the finished recordings to discover how his drumming has evolved — and whether the same musical instincts that shaped his earliest recordings are still there today.
More than 60 years after he first sat behind a drum kit, why does one of the greatest songwriters of all time keep coming back to the drums? Let’s find out.
