"Ok I'll ask one. Which Beatles number one did Ringo not drum on (and there is drumming on the song) ? I guess it's the first one. Please, Please Me " Actually that's a good guess as there is some debate as to whether Ringo's drum part is on the recording or Andy White's because George Martin brought him in as a session drummer. But it's another song I'm thinking of. | |||

"Going back to an earlier question I recall when John Lennon was asked by an interviewer "Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?" John replied "The world? He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles!" " Which gave rise to the "Ringo Starr was a shit drummer" meme. It's worth watching Dave Grohl's youtube video retort where he says he's fed up of hearing it said. He gathers other famous drummers and discusses why Ringo was not only great but also very influential... | |||
