Ringo is the best drummer and not the luckiest stiff. Let all the reocrds speak for them selves. He changed the history of drumming and rock music on the Ed Sullivan Show. Sorry about all the other rock drummers. Let the drumming speak for itself. I saw the show.

Ringo , your a icon ! But honestly leave the vocals to someone else.

Ringo you rock man, I love liverpool 8 every single song talk about love and that is what you are Ringo..LOVE.

I am only 11 and I love Ringo, he is way too old for me but if I were living in the sixties he would be mine! hee hee hee

you are so cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Love the new single Liverpool 8 and his collaboration with Eurythmic Dave Stewart.

Nobody could get mad at RINGO. After the Beatles split, they all still played with Ringo. His spirit shines through, his pure heart, through the BIGGNESS of he Beatles. Also, his acting is great. Watch “That’ll Be The Day.”

I was lucky once and saw Ringo, in Atlanta, he was there to open a restaraunt he was part owner of, I don’t dare try and spell it, A wonderful time in history, for me…

Ringo always added that distinct edge to the beatles sound, and I agree his snare drum sound is still the best.

The Beatles were my inspiration to become a musician. I am 26 and I learnt to play drums 10 years ago, because Ringo was (and still is) my idol. Ringo, PLEASE COME TO MEXICO!!!!!

I still marvel at his drum parts especially A Day In The Life but his solo work proved he was the great entertainer and still is. Ringo come tour Australia. You haven’t been here since 1964 !

I always loved ringo , so do my daughters breana 12 & caitlyn 15 ,who is watching the beatles cartoons as we speak!

Ringo’s style perfectly complimented the Beatles music.They would not have become what they became without him. As John said, Ringo would have surfaced with or without the Beatles.

One of best legends of all time has mastered his craft to supremecy and worked with the best of the best!Keep it going Ringo!

Were you girls seriously so interested in his drums, aparrently you had bad eyesight and no hormones.

Looking at you “Ringo” it is just not the same as years ago, (boohoo)don’t know that much about your drum abilities as these other posters, just thought you were really good looking which of course you were but Love you hardly recognize you now.

Ringo Starr is so cute….. He’s my crush….. Aaarggg, I am 24 and I am too young for him. Hahaha. I wish I lived in the 60’s…..

Ringo is the BEST drummer ever!! I hope to see him in person… I am going to kiss him!! Hahaha … He’s so so so cute =)

La D Da it is fantastic

Ringo was always the best Beatle, and had (by far) the best post-Beatle career.

Although, I must say, I will always be able to tell Beatles music from music of today. In so much music of today, there’s…there’s just no soul in it. And that’s not how it was with Beatles, or All-Starr Band. Take “It Don’t Come Easy” for example. This is one of the best examples of good rock that I’ve heard in my life. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but it really seems like Ringo’s got his soul in when he’s singing that song.

Ringo, you rock. Peace and Love.

I was 14 when the Beatles where on Ed Sullivan in 64. Because of Ringo I play in an 60’s band band called Pipe Dreams.I’ll be 55, this june 21. thank you Ringo, if it wasn’t for you and your drumming style music would have been boring. P.S i have 2 sets of LUDWIG DRUMS You are still my favorite drummer in the world!!!!

Was a childhood friend of Barbara went to St Clairs chuch in Rosedale. My brother was also friend with her brother. I like to say hi and tell her that I’m very happy for her and that my life is also filled with peace and serenity.

I think Ringo is the best drummer in history and modern bands drum more but worse

What a character! Says it straight… an icon for how people should be! Way to go Ringo

don’t forget to listen to Ringo’s great drumming on Yoko Ono’s “Plastic Ono Band” album! You’ll be surprised. In my opinion, this is the album, were he sounds as feeling free as he never did before or after.
Anyway, his drumming always is “good enough” to be called GREAT!!!
Can’t wait “Liverpool 8″…

I love Ringo! I fell in love with the Beatles the first time I heard their music, what an awesome band. Ringo thought up some great drum parts,listen to”I feel fine”,it has such a catchy beat with him playing the ride cymble and doing those fills on the tom. I love the intro to “She loves you”. His pounding of the floor tom gives the song a great drive. I also love “Ticket to ride”,the drums in that song are so catchy and inventive. I also love the drumming on “In my life”,it is so tastefully played and sutle. I love the drumming on “Sun king”,it is played beautifully with malets.

I’m 38 years old and i never get tired of listening to the Beatles. Their music incorporated many different styles and influences,rock,country,Indian ,experimental.

My 4 year old daughter loves “Octapuses garden” and “Goodnight”.

Keep up the great work Ringo.

Ringo was always the more popular Beatle in those early days–that clip in HArd Day’s Night where he gets all the mail is a true story! And who kept the other three getting along when they were fighting? They all went to Ringo for peace. Add in the fact that he was perfect in the studio–they called him “One Take Ringo” because he very rarely blew a session and was terribly remorse if he did–you can see how he really held that band together. My favorite drummer of all time. I play because he did. And does. Saw him in Fort Myers, Fla a few years ago with Sheila E and it was amazing how strong a player he still is. Just amazing. God bless Ringo. Peace and Love, Richie!

who ever say’s ringo is a bad drummer, should just stop being a musican! he is the best! everything about his drumming is so tastefull and right on! the way he makes his drums sound in the stuido is amazing people need to learn from ringo!

I listened to “What Goes On” live last year when Ringo came to Chicago. I can’t wait to hear what Beatles song he sings next time. Maybe he will sing “Good Night” or “Trouble”

i love ringo and his drumming, he is the best, i wanted to see him in concert. I love his music even if it’s not the beatles.

Ringo and The Beatles Are Still “The Greatest”!

I went to go see Ringo last summer in the Bank of America Pavillion. Boy, was I one happy little girl. ^^ His drumming is absolutely fab…times PI! I personally like Tomorrow Never Knows, such a great beat….Rain is good too…also I like The End.

There is love in ALL of those songs.
Ringo, you’re awesome.

Good comments from everyone above. Ringo’s snare sound remains powerful and distinct.

Ringo’s best Beatle drum tracks: “Rain,” “Tomorrow Never Knows,” “Come Together,” and “Ticket to Ride.” Funny…these are all John songs.

But if you really want to hear Ringo drumming at his best (in fact, it’s Metallica heavy), check out Ringorama, especially “Instant Amnesia.”

Ringo Rocks!! He was and always will be the beat in The Beatles.

LET ME TELL YOU. I WAS THERE IN 1963/64. RINGO WAS KING! BELIEVE IT. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DRUMMING LISTEN FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. JUST LISTEN.

Listen to Ringo on “A Day In the Life”. Absolutely one of his best pieces of drummung ever.

No Ringo, no influence of Beatles of today.

Did you know that Ringo is left-handed but plays a right-hand drumset ? Just listen to his snare drum on “Get Back”. That song gives this secret away…

My wife & I are pro drummers & had the incredible chance to meet Ringo last year in Toronto.
He is THE only reason we both started drumming and continue to play this day! His phrasing, timing and feel for every song is truly brilliant! We both have taught and worked with the drumming icons of our time and Ringo is still and will ALWAYS be the greatest drummer, musician and inspiration we will ever know, period!!!

everybody talks about the beatles… but what´s with Ringos new album annonced for June 2007?

not to sound like a million others but………Ringo is and remains the reason I play drums and love it 30 some odd years
Iwas lucky enough to have Ringo give me a pair of his sticks at an ALL STAR tour in N.H. anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting one of the fab four will know what I am saying that its like a king or a god of some sort of magic its like all those years of seeing him from the cavern to shea to rubber soul to abbey road let it be to ringo the solo years all rushing to the one moment that he speaks to you …..amazing…
Ringo Starr thank you for everything including passing on the gift of drum in my world as well yours!!!!!!!!!

Listen to how tight him and John play together on “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”.

Truly inspiring!

Ringo didn’t supposdly influence us all
He DID influence us all
There ya have it

The feel and the sound.

Take George’s song, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and listen to two things: Pau’s bass, and Ringo’s drumming, especially the cymbals. Pure magic!

The Beatles live forever…so roll over Beethoven.

Ringo still has the best sounding snare drum in music history.

He has nice sticks.

Ringo packaged the beatles with his drums.
He tied a ribbon around their sound, always putting a pretty bow on it. He dressed it up in a way no other band did at that time.
His drumming style was unorthodox, but very pleasant to hear. His timing was impeccable, and gave all the bounce necessary for the buoyant charm of the Beatles. John Lennon, in an interview, claimed Ringo was the beat drummer on earth, guess that says a lot about how they felt about each other. They loved each other as much as their music. They took time with each record to surpass the last one, always looking to outdo their best, to be better still. You knew it, you felt it, and you could hear it in the quality of their work. They never lost that sense of magic, even when it would seem to take turns of its own. That’s when Ringo, would bundle it all up, with the Beatle beat, known in the early days as the ‘Mersey’ beat. The body of work Ringo has performed on, both with the Beatles and on his own, is not only impressive, it’s sheer awesome.
The short solo in ‘Every Little Thing You Do’, is a pure Richard Starkey delight. I love all of the Beatles, but Ringo brings in the warm gentle, homespun fun loving flavor of the Fab Four. Paul, the musical impresario, goodwill ambassador, John was the political rebellious renegade, with the soft touch, and gentle heart, a Dad you may never have had attitude, as he never really had one of his own, while he was growing up. Paul, George and Stuart Sutcliffe and Ringo, mostly filled that bill, by being his shield, brothers in arms and family to protect, John was fiercely loyal to his mates and the Beatles. George, was the esoteric, religious ‘love maker’, a great realist, with a wonderful dedicated spirit, to all things spiritual. To George the most spiritual of all were the works of the Beatles, and his relationship with his mates.
Rather than leave George to go home all alone, after being caught as performing under age in Germany, the boys, all stood their ground, and supported George, rather than ditching him, and they all returned back to Liverpool. They were that tight, about how they felt about each other and their sound.
A mention about Pete Best is that he wasn’t as strong minded or as tough as the others were regarding the Beatles, John wanted strength, not weakness, or soft hearts, and where Pete was a reasonable drummer, average at best, Ringo was unique, with an unmistakable style of his own. Old enough to mentally meet John on an equal plane, and dedicated, once committed to being a full fledged member of the band.
The rest is takeoff to the ‘Topper-most of the Popper-most’. The Beatles were born to be a cohesive unit of joy and love and all things magical and good,, that’s what made them the Greatest Band of All Time.

I saw Ringo last year at Radio City, and man, that dude can still rock

MR CONDUCTOR??? What does he have to do with the Beatles?? Why didn’t anyone ask him about Thomas the Tank Engine?

DudeWasPiggibacked, you know nothing about The Beatles to make a comment like that.

Ringo is great…
the “tomorrow never knows” drum beat…

the chemical brothers and all these dance guys owe him the biggest debt…

rocks luckiest free-ride

average talent : right place right time

ringo has such a big heart. can’t wait for his new cd, liverpool 8

One of the greats… I picked up the sticks because of Danny Carey and I’m still here because of Ringo. I think he’s one of the all time great rock drum writers - his parts on “Come Together”, “Paperback Writer”, “Golden Slumbers” are massive hooks in and of themselves. His writing is so distincive and catchy!

He kept the beat and he still has it nailed!

Ringo is the reason I am a drummer!!!
