Complex drumming more often than not equates to bad drumming.

boo boo; Helter Skelter is a superb example of Ringo's drumming abilities.
At the end of which Ringo can be heard to scream "I've got blisters on my fingers".
Another good example of his competence, 'Tomorrow Never Knows.'

Personally I believe Ringo was overlooked (due to the talents of the others) and was a far better drummer than he was given credit for.

Brilliant, no. Definitely above average.

adidasss...get the album and go suck a lollipop.
