Raindawg Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm in London and I'm drunk! Had some Treakston's 'Old Peculiar' plus several pints of some other nonsense I can't recall. Just had a chat with a local wino who shared the following: - he loves the Beach Boys, - he finds the music of Elvis pleasant but not particularly inspiring, - Ringo Starr was the musical free-loader of the Beatles, and - he wonders why so many talented people have died young (e.g. Jim Morrison) yet Keith Richards survives into his sixties, even after recently falling out of a coconut tree! I must agree on all counts. carry on, - Dwayner......uh.uh..uh...'Raindawg'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 - Ringo Starr was the musical free-loader of the Beatles whatever. As a drummer myself, I still appreciate the uniqueness of his drum parts. Listen to "a day in the life" sometime. Ringo is da man. He was also ahead of his time in a lot of things, such as using a matched grip, using muffling devices, etc. John Lennon once said that Ringo was the heart of the beatles. Many drummers (including myself) consider him a great influence. your friend in London is a dipshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm in London and I'm drunk! No, you're not drunk. Age and experience build tolerance. Six shots of scotch for breakfast and you're drunk, but a few drams of Old Peculiar in the evening and you're just warming up. btw: I love that Theakstons stuff, I'd love to find it on tap.

Dechristo Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 He was... ahead of his time in a lot of things, such as using a matched grip, using muffling devices, etc. Most rock drummers since then have taken to the match grip. It's complementary to the heavy hitting. Jazz drummers, for the most part, remain using the classic grip due to the requirements of complexity and finesse. John Lennon once said that Ringo was the heart of the beatles. Of course, Lennon was known for his sense of humor. Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Peter Erskine.
