To put it simply,.Ringo Starr's name alone makes him the most famous rock drummer of all time. Only the brain dead would not know he was a Beatle. Even Pete Best was a Beatle, and because of that only, his name is better remembered than some of the best rock drummers to date. Even the band itself wasn't the greatest ever. But who has ever topped the output and musical progressivness of the Beatles material? Keith has been dead 33 years, Ringo has been sober for 24 and still working. Ringo Wins!

@Ghstwn

Ringo wins the 'being alive' competition, sure. But then Daltrey pisses all over John Lennon on that one.

@babyshambler Hey Numb Nuts,.. did you notice the subject was Ringo and Moon? Not one mention of Lennon Vs Daltrey. Plus Daltrey never wrote a known Who song in his life. Not that Rodger wasn't good,.. But Townsend wrote all the Who music. Lennons catalog of music and vocals puts Daultey in the closet. So you point is what???

;D

@Ghstwn

Hello! It's my video, I'll comment how I see fit, however...err....unfit! Daltrey wrote some Who gems, including Early morning cold taxi, Here for more and let's not forget a co-credit on Anyway anyhow anywhere. I've lost both of our points, Dear Boy. Happy new year!

@babyshambler

They said John Lennon was at the level of Mozart musically. I did not hear the scientists and experts ever say that about Daltrey, good vocals though.

@CMob09

Ha! Who's "they"?! Scientists hehe.

@klinkerkk

true all the way

he was the master

[ozrics62]

to coin a phrase by john lennon

he wasn,t even the best drummer in the beatles

[garyc2]

I prefer Ringo as a drummer to honest as I think Keith can come across as sloppy sometimes and can only play loud.

[Jay435]

@CMob09 LMAO!! To say that John Lennon was at the level of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is totally subjective sensationalism and delirious hero worship. Mozart's understanding of theory, harmony, composition and performance completely dwarfs the capability of any "rock" musician alive or dead. It's wishful thinking and impressionism based on a lack of understanding of serious musical studies.

got to say...when I read "Ringo & Keith drum battle" this wasn't what I expected. expected much more of a drum-off. the two of them trading 8's & then 4's then attack each other. Kinda like "Buddy Rich vs. Max Roach" or what ever. BUT FUCK MAN --- the edit you got going on there was spot ON baby --- Loved it !!! Very ingenious !!! edit-man YOU JAM

search sometime for mine songwriting YouTube .. "I B E W drummer" & "early morning inspired"

@MrCeej9999

Do you play the drums? That sounds like a comment only a none-drummer would make.

[MrCeej9999]

You know, Keith Moon is pretty average, compared to todays rock drummers. It's the truth.

The genre moves on. Things go out of fashion.

Was Ringo, one of the best of his genre, of his time - of course he was

As was Moon.

Seriously, don't try and claim Moon's drumming in 1970, is better than any modern rock you see today. As it's not

[MrCeej9999]

This is so dumb. It's like saying "who is the best piano player, Beethoven or Elton John".

Ringo Starr was a beat/pop drummer. He got into the Beatles as he was just about the best pop drummer available in the country at the time. He was much more accomplished, than any of the other Beatles, musically (when he joined).

He only gets a hard time, as pop drumming is now unfashionable, as the genre has changed a lot since.
