At the 4:20 mark of the video, the guy flips a latch of some sort on one of the drums. What is that?

That's the snare tensioner. It pulls the snare, which stretches across the bottom of the drum, tightly across the face of the bottom snare skin. It usually will allow for the snare to act as another tom-tom, but I didn't see where he used it in that way.

Hmmm, I'm in two minds about this one. Some bits were great / spot-on, and other bits were underwhelming and, let's say he chose the less-interesting sections of Ringo's drum parts to copy. Take 'Rain' for instance - that song is littered with some AMAZING fills but all we hear in this clip is a brief basic 4/4 beat.
Other bits especially the first few songs, I felt he was not really 'in the pocket' as far as the beat goes. The kick pedal wasn't quite on-beat at times. He seemed to get better from the later stuff onwards - Strawberry Fields Forever he nailed that fill perfectly. But 'A Day In The Life' has so many great flamboyant fills in that song.. and he attempted none of them!
Still, I give him props for doing what he did and spreading The Beatles' love! :D
