But as a former drummer myself, I would say that Ringo was perfect for the Beatles. He had impeccable timing. I heard there was once a contest in which Ringo and several other drummers played along with a metronome and then kept playing after the metronome stopped. Ringo stayed on the beat for about five minutes but the other drummers quickly deviated from it. He was also very understated, doing these tasteful little fills that really enhanced the song without distracting in any way. Plus his charming personality fit right in with the others. A match made in heaven. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
