To compare him to Keith Moon or Charlie Watts though, I don't know. Vastly different drummers for very different bands.
Ringo Starr is better than Keith Moon. I can only tolerate Looney Mooney's happy jack drumming for so long before it gets old. I can listen to Ringo's funny little fills any time at all. Charlie Watts beats them both by a moonlight mile.
