Default Re: Shuffle Beat

Hi, Ralph:

There's a decades-long discussion among drummers as to why Ringo Starr kept his seat with the Beatles.

"He's a terrible drummer! He's not on the beat; his high-hat lags; his snare is always early. . . " and so on, say the real musicians.

Which is exactly why he kept his seat and part of the reason why the Beatles only sold the few albums that they sold.

"I got ... rhythm... I got ... music ..." as somebody once said.

David
