+harry schnepp would you like to listen to some of our music perhaps.

I am glad you mentioned Chester Thompson, one of my favourite drummers. He was brilliant when he helped out Genesis on their live gigs, Frank Zappa and Steve Hackett too. Another humble drummer. Btw, I love Ringo, no doubt about it. I have played drums for about 10 years now, though most people would say I am a bassist/guitarist, my Dad (who was a drummer in the 70's and 80's) still refers to me as a drummer too. However when I listen to Beatles songs like 'Rain', 'She Said She Said' and 'It's All Too Much' I do question myself as to whether I am any good... I mean Ringo played some very complex stuff, but got overshadowed by the other three... Some of the drum fills have such odd timings... Heck even songs like Firth Of Fifth or Cinema Show by Genesis have easier drums (in my opinion). I love The Beatles for everything they have given us :) Peace out!

Drummer here; Agreed !

Ringo is the king, most modern rock drumming is rooted in his playing. The most important thing in rock is that backbeat. Nobody does it like Ringo. Other guys play much more complex stuff. But even those guys agree that Ringo is a king. Where he lacks intricate chops, he always has the right part for the song. Always kicks that bassline in the right spot. Perfect fills, simple and clear. The Beatles would have sounded like crap with a guy like Bonham or Moon pounding away.. Listen to Ringo's parts. Incredible. Musical. His drumming makes your ass move. That's a real drummers job- accent the music, make the asses move. When I was younger I felt that way about Charlie Watts - boring boring boring. Later I came to understand that it takes discipline to stay out of the way, and play the music instead of just waiting to get your shit in.

@vgr112261 - whoever made that ridiculous (Bonham) comment had no concept of Bonzo’s personality, and his relationships with his peers…

@@Gregor9043Charlie would seriously get your behind moving.

In that Wash, D.C. show Ringo really showed what kind of drummer he was on that last number Long Tall Sally. Just unbelievable drumming. The other 3 knew he was good, hence the firing of Pete Best.

Moon was incredibly musical.

What's amazing is that he is a left hander playing a right handed kit!

Yes and his older brother is Victor Spinetti, the actor who played the stage manager in A Hard Day's Night.

Agreed ...part of the Welsh mafia !

I loved hearing from Ringo, Ray Cooper and Jim Keltner. Disappointed not to hear a few words from Henry Spinetti, though to be fair, we did see a decent segment of him playing in this video. He's done great drumming with an impressive list of artists including Joan Armatrading, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and plenty more.

Best drummer on the stage, Henry Spinetti, brought in by Eric to tighten everything g up.

Think if you watch the concert DVD the drummer who is "on" all the time is Henry. Just saw him this week doing the Gary Brooker tribute night and again he was faultless. BTW Just learned Henry was the drummer on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street".

Spot on.

+kurikokaleidoscope Henry Spinetti.

Emil Richards can be seen at various points on percussion next to Ray Cooper throughout the concert.

Another type of drummer, nothing to do with any of those who play here. Better or worse is very subjective but Bonzo was a rock drummer exclusively and unorthodox, to my taste he doesn't even enter my top 30.

Bonzo loved Ringo. You’re an idiot.
