Nonetheless, he IS one of R&R’s greatest drummers, certainly one of the very best living.

No doubt about that, but eternity is a long time and NOBODY will be interested in listening to drummers in Hell.

I have always found his playing style to be too theatrical.

His "fills" are overdone and his drum kit is simply for show.

As I have gotten older I have come to see the greatness of Ringo Starr. His 4 piece drum set, and two cymbals and a high hat, give enough percussion and the correct flow to the fills without being overstated.
