Both Ringo & Paul are very good drummers.

I read somewhere a long time ago that Ringo was one of the few drummers who could play a track multiple times and they could splice together various takes with no timing issues whatsoever. And that's close to impossible.

Plus, wasn't Ringo the guy who invented "rock drumming", whereas he held both sticks in his fists instead of the traditional drummer position (resting on the forefinger and held by the thumb)?

Also, I heard the Violent Femmes on the way to work, and couldn't believe how awesome their drummer was/is.

As for Christian Rock Drummers, I don't think we should leave out Robert Sweet.

Originally posted by audiori Ringo Starr is looked down upon because people immediatly think of the "She loves You, yeah yeah yeah" time period. Early on drummers basicaly just kept beat. He was doing pretty much what all drummers of the period were doing. Goofy simple time keeping. Heck, a few years earlier some 'rock' acts did't even use a drummer. But in the Beatles later music you can hear a lot more of his more interesting work. "Tomarrow Never Knows" and even on something like "Strawberry Fields". The White Album, Abbey Road, etc. You know they actually recorded a 30+ minute version of "Helter Skelter"? Any wonder where the "I got blisters on my fingers!" comes from? Ringo is a drummer who has a distinctive style that a lot of drummers try to emulate or are asked to. But generally you don't get to see or hear his more interesting work. I knew a kid at work once told me, Oasis is like the Beatles only better. I laughed. How many bands you know go around bragging they are better than Oasis? For bands to brag that, it means they know it's the ultimate to achieve. We are bigger than the Beatles! The very proclomation proves it not to be so. I am not saying Ringo is the best, but some like to under-rate him because they only think of his very early work. I bet if you asked a lot of famous drummers who they wanted t be like, Ringo's name would come up a lot.

also keep in mind that the beatles sold lots and lots of records...

...for Skinny Hindalog and Robert Sweet. What was the Stryper line about Bobby again, "Visual Timekeeping"?
