One of mine, too. All mine are pre-Pepper.
A few years ago I read a very long, in-depth articke about Ringo. I’m sure I’d never be able to find it again. One of the themes that stood out was this: non-drummers tend to knock Ringo, while fellow drummers pay him the highest respect. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he wasn’t a showboat, but he understood how to facilitate the music.
...
The best way I heard it described is that Ringo is a human metronome. His parents were very good dancers and so is he. Before he ever got drums he was always tapping out rhythms on whatever was available. It’s in his blood.
Mine, too.
