Ringo Starr as a drummer

   I'm not familiar enough with the Beatles to provide the best informed judgement, but from what I've heard I'd say he's alright. Certainly not overly technically gifted, but he could do his job and keep a rhythm.

	He's not technical or complex. Most drummers could play what he played. But then again? Who says you need complexity? He kept rythmn and is named Ringo. I couldn't ask for more. And I personnally think he has some good songwriting skills.
	RIP in bossa nova heaven.

	Okay, I've heard every side of the story... "Ringo's underrated he has great rythm!!" "He's overrated, he's not technical!!" "He's okay." But what do progheads think?? I personally think he is good for the 60's, but still isn't great or anything. Just wondering what you thought!
