Some 9 minutes of solid drumming driving the song and backing soloist.

Luca1369 said:The guy is best known for a two and a half minute solo in "Inna Gadda da Vida" and you mention him in the same sentence as Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa? What kind of drugs were you doing back then?
seilerbird said:Can't I have an opinion that is different than yours? It just blows me away. This is suppose to be the friendliest RV site but if I express an opinion that someone disagrees with then they become nasty. There is no reason to insult me because I like Ron Bushy better than Rich and Krupa. Rich and Krupa were great technical drummers but they bore me to death. Bushy had feeling like those two never had. Just like Ringo. One of the greatest drummers of all times but technically not very good. I prefer to listen to drummers with feeling, not technical chops. And I never did any drugs in the 60s.
Mc2guy said:Ringo, btw, is the most overrated drummer I've ever heard/seen/or known about. He was born under a lucky star to get hitched with two of the greatest songwriters of all time. He doesn't just lack technical chops, he has no sense of timing. We used to call him "blitzkrieg" in high-school, because even then we could hear that he was always "rushing in".
