Was Ringo A Crap Drummer.
 

Ringo Starr...was he any good on the skins?

In my opinion Ringo has always had a bad press and has always been slagged off as the least talented of The Beatles.

He was always the first to admit that he wasn't the most talented drummer and often put himself down.
But in reality would the other 3 have had him in the band if they thought he was crap, particularly a perfectionist like McCartney?

how hard was it to drum to that lollipop bullshit?

i think ringo was a fine drummer. i mean, he was definitely not as talented as others, but i think he contributed to the beatles sound.

i know for a fact that drummers can change the sound of a band completely. my band, who recently found a new drummer that is about 324349720348987 times better than our last one, has a noticeably revamped sound because the drummer is capable of different and more complicated fills and beats.

i think in the way you are looking at it, that ringo was part of the original sound of the beatles, and they didnt want to change that. they got together, and liked the sound they had and they didnt want to change it, and they didnt need to. if they really thought he was that bad, they probably would have ousted him, but they didnt because they liked the sound they had.

...thats the way i see it.

he never played the most challeging drum beats for any drummer i dont think..

I personally don't think he's the worlds worse drummer but no he was not that good by any means... q the :band:

Now then, now then...temper, temper!

I'll let BungalowBill answer that one. ;)

adidasss was a far better drummer when he was in the beatles.

edit: cuz i hurt adidasss feelings

HAHAHAHA!

to me without ringo the bestles wouldn't have had the same sound, nor would have been so great.. because all the beatles made them as great as what they were.. take out one the band just sucks..

^sort of what i said.


fenix....whats with all your fudging adidasss's face into these pictures...?

its great.

just havin some fun with him, he didnt find it amusing, so i will stop with him, and maybe find someone else that wont mind some fun and games.
