Oh yeah, Mike Shrieve, the original drummer with Santana.
And how 'bout the drummer with Kitaro.

I love the Beatles, and don't know if the fab four could have made it without eachother. They certainly had a synergy that was most evident when they played together vs. their not-so-magical solo careers. That being said, Ringo sucked as a drummer.
Zaikesman—Obviously, you are either a drummer, musician or very in-tuned to drummers. I know that Ringo was the most famous drummer at that time, but didn't know he contributed a new style. Live and learn! So, do you why did Paul do so much of the drumming on Abbey Road? And do you really think Ringo was a better and more creative drummer than most of the "wankers" listed above?

To my ears, Ringo sucked!
Zaikesman—Thank you for the informative perspective on Ringo. I will go back and listen more critically to the songs you suggested. Perhaps during those "daze" the Beatles were together, I (not a musician) was looking for more splash and less technique. Live and Learn.
