No the problem is you are a Beatard. Who has probably never heard
Bruford or Palmer play. And probably knows only some classic rock
drummers. I own all the Beatles albums and I can see Ringo did a
decent job. But he didnt push drumming to his limits because he had
his own limits. All the Beatles were limited musicians but excellent
songwriters. Is that too hard to get?
