We're talking skill, not influence.[/quote]<br><br>I thought this thread was about who your favorite drummers were. Ringo may not be as flashy as anyone else on the list, but if you can keep a beat that well, you don't need to be flashy. <br><br>

Ringo could keep time like a rock (if a rock played drums).  he never lost that beat.

Can't believe Neil Peart isn't on any list!<br><br>FREAKS!<br><br>I like:<br><br>Mickey Hart (Planet Drum is an amazing album)<br>John Bonham (did the guy have three arms and five legs or what?)<br>Bill Ward <br>Obviously Professor Peart<br>and shit...who drums for ZZTop? Beard? (the beardless one) I like his style alot too.

[/quote]<br><br>sooo many questions swirling around in my head...<br><br>Can you keep the beat with your meat?.....<br><br>Do you disinfect your drum heads when you're "done"?...<br><br>Do you use rototoms or what?....<br><br>Does this get in the way of your love life or is it like  a poop fetish that you have to keep secret until you're sure that your partner is as freaky as you?.....<br><br>Does it hurt to play double bass?.....<br><br>ok that last one was a lil personal. Sorry.<br>
