I know, but as every Beatles fan knows he said it with tongue firmly in cheek. Oh, that famous scouse wit.

Ringo's reputation has also been revised over the past few years with quite a few drummers saying he was actually very good.
He was in the right band too - Keith Moon or John Bonham wouldn't have been such a good fit.

Have a look on YouTube. There are some clips of him playing with his brother Phil who was also very, very good.
I must throw in Mick Ronson who was a bit of a hero. His guitar was great but his keyboard playing was excellent and his arrangements for Bowie and Lou Reed were brilliant.

Jon Lord anyone? . . . Concerto For Group & Orchestra.

The way the other Who members speak musically about Moon sometimes you wonder if he could play drums at all!

I used to play the drums a bit in the distant past, for me Paice was fastest stick work, Neil Peart most complicated sequences, Bill Ward the Loudest, and John Bonham probably best all round, rock only. but is there any other music

The best drummer ever is widely considered to be Buddy Rich.
His speed and technical skill is pretty impressive.

Only buddy Rich thought Buddy Rich was the best drummer, Gene Krupa was better than him

The Late John Lord was a magnificent classical trained keyboard player and his inter play with Blackmore was superb, "Lazy" being a great example.

I think that it is recognize among Drummers the Neil Peart and John Bonham are the 2 best drummers of all time, Gene Krupa comes in as best Jazz drummer and Stewart Copeland and Billy Cobham are also highly rated

I'm not sure it was only him.

Totally agree about Jon Lord. Totally revolutionised the use of the Hammond organ. Listen to Deep Purple's Hard Lovin' Man. Blackmore and Lord's guitar/Hammond organ solo interplay is phenomenol.

Also, for me UFO are to me such an underrated band. With Schenker they were out of this world. The way Schenker's guitar works so melodically behind Phill Mogg's vocals is beautiful. Not mention Paul Raymind's keyboards and Pete Ways' bass playing. Great band!

My favourite drummer was always Mick Tucker from The Sweet.

He was superb.
