Happy Birthday to one of the best to ever do it, Ringo Starr. I’ve always loved this clip of some great drummers talking about Ringo’s brilliance. And yes, Ringo was brilliant and perfect in The Beatles. Case closed.
"If a producer says to you, give me Ringo. What would Ringo do? It's a Ringo swing, and it kind of washes the windshield on the hi-hats, man. I mean, it's a fucking Ringo thing. It's like a style of music. We had a knack for coming up with really interesting musical parts that became rhythmic hooks. I mean, honestly, if you're a drummer, and you can do this, and have people dancing, you're a fucking badass."
