How could Ringo be categorized as a crap drummer? He never ****s up, he keeps the beat, and the music doesn't really call for anything else. I realize this is just me, but I never really listen to the Beatles and think, "Oh, Ringo should've played a nice, rolling fill there." I personally don't see how he can be criticised. Even if he doesn't play enough fills for someone's tastes, that doesn't make him a bad drummer, if anything it just makes him boring. I suppose you could call boring bad, but I'd rather be a boring bad than a losing the beat, throwing everyone off bad.
