Rings didn’t drum, he kept time and beat. Way different than a Peart, Moon or Collin’s whose drumming was sometimes bigger than the song. Those guys were drum virtuoso’s whose drumming wore themselves out every night. I love Ringo but he just sat there and smiled and tapped his hi hat. Nothing wrong with that.
If there is one drummer that should be mentioned with the greats but never is, it’s Danny Seraphine of “Chicago”.
Go and listen to “Beginnings”, his drumming on it is sublime.
Agree. Two of my favorites are Bill Bruford and Billy Cobham. I was surprised when I saw a video of Ginger Baker and Art Blakey. I could not decide which I thought was the better one. Two other fantastic drummers and of course there was Buddy Rich.
