Pretty cool pic!!!

Iam think a roof top photo from the Let It Be days..maybe? Mikey

That is one cool pic don't know about the roof top thing tho looks like floor boards.

Ok, it looks like the hi-hat is actually over part of the snare head and it also looks like, if he made a move for the rack tom, his left stick would run into that crash cymbal - unless he's playing under it!

The set-up looks so strange from above. I guess because he was a lefty playing righty, when he comes around the toms backwards (low to high) he'd be approaching (coming around to,) the rack tom from the right, missing the cymbal. It just looks like he'd run into that pie every time he goes from snare to rack.

Strange, his set-up actually looks awkward, uncomfortable and tight. Bad left side ergonomics if you go by the photo. Blows my mind, I learn something new everyday reading the posts you guys put up.

BTW, his left foot isn't on the hat pedal. Maybe he just kept it closed sometimes and didn't pump it at all.

Cool photo !

I like all the wires going all over the place. Looks like spaghetti. Gretsch guitar and a mic by Ringos' hi hat stand that appears to be just lying on the floor. Nice.

The photo looks like it's from the 1966 tour.

Very cool picture! In an interview I saw with Ringo, he explained how he did the hi-hat to toms progression for "Come Together" . Basically, Ringo said that because he is naturally left handed, it is easier for him to begin at his floor ( after the hi-hat) and end on his tenor tom. He said that if he began in the traditional manner, he would get a back ache and stiff neck. I saw Ringo perform a few years ago and to me, his setup looked more conventional then. Mikey may have a good point as well. Baby grands and full-sized pianos did feature prominently in the "Let It Be" days. Just as an aside, when I saw Ringo, he was always the gentleman. He praised his band-mates, was very humble and the stories he told were always interesting but, never off- colour. In my humble opinion, Ringo did what he was supposed to do for the songs and did it well.

i think this awesome what a time to remember yeah yeah yeah

"when i was young in oh so many ways"

I see it Shuflemans way looks tight the snare and rack tom are both partial covered but it makes sense if he is coming right to left instead of traditional left to right i Imagine looking at Ian paice from above would look wierd as well..
