I think he gets a lot of undeserved heat. I think his beatings are toasty!

Of course he's not crap. He's the Egg Man.

It's probably as much Spector's doing as Starr's, but Ringo's drumming on Plastic Ono Band is fucking stellar.

There aren't a whole lot of drummers like Ringo out there- simple, solid beats, few fills...and I'll stop there because I don't like the tech speak. One of the few drummers that can play like that is Michael 'Shard' Dahlquist.

I don't think Spector drummed on that or any other record did he? I could be wrong.

I really enjoy his drumming. His "drum solo" in the "The End" is great but maybe not as great as Paul, John and George trading leads.
I have a book that gives the story behind all of their songs as far as recording, what inspired it, who played what and what the Beatles and other people think of the songs. It may not be completely accurate but it's pretty interesting.

Do you know that as a solo artist, Ringo had the most #1 hits of all the Beatles?
I think Ringo is/was a good, simple, solid drummer, without an ounce of flash, and well-suited to the band he was in. But I think he gets plenty of credit for it - though all the many compliments are usually prefaced with "he never gets the credit he deserves."
