If you know anything about bands and band start-up problems, you'll know that drummers seem to be a bit of an unknown entity. When bands are trying to find the right fit, it seems that drummers can cause quite a bit of anxiety and drama for the band. Well, that's the way it appears anyway--perhaps it's oversimplified or even stereotyped, but drummers seem to come and go with alarming regularity. The Beatles, if I recall correctly, went through some drummers before settling on Ringo Starr, and he turned out to be a great fit, a drummer with talent, personality and a sense of humor. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, a winning and enduring combination--a musical legacy, and for the two remaining band members, living legends. Moreover, if you're feeling the need for a Beatles fix, fire up a beatles cd and chill out with some priceless Beatles music. While you're at it, listen to see if you can pick out Ringo Starr on the drums, and you'll know why he's a drummer that actually made it. Get Great Deals on Books, Music and Movies at Alibris!
