Hi,

Things are dull here so lets buy an argument:

For decades it has been cool to pis on the Beatles drummer for being at the very least "sub standard". Others piss on Keith Moon similarly.

This young German lass has a different opinion.

Her ability to accurately mimic famous drum parts is phenomenal.

I don't know of any drummers who think Ringo is crap. Playing left
handed on a right handed drum kit definitely gave him his own sound,
but it always served the song - never his ego.

** There is a famous saying that: " Ringo was not even the best drummer in the Beatles".

FYI : No actual source for that dumb remark has ever been found ...

FYI #2

here is the same young lass playing a famous drum part by Keith Moon.

Moon was once described to me by a local musician as:

" some idiot thrashing about meaninglessly"

Sounds like something Pete Best would say.

It's a bit hard to follow because sound and vision sync are off by
almost half a second. But she's very good.

But the best drummer I know of has to be Danny Carey of Tool.
Extraordinary polyrhythm ability.
