What would Ringo do?
A few years ago, a drum student of mine asked me what one should do to become a great rock drummer.
a week ago, I was thinking once again about that ambitious, yet ficticious student that I just made up a few minutes ago and it made me wax fancifully and fantasize about a magical school for rock drummers.
In the first term, the students would be required to learn all of Ringo’s drumming from the recordings up to Help or so. In the second term, Revolver to Abbey Road. And both semesters, for convocation there’s Charley Watts.
For the next term there’s keith moon, and depending on the talent of the student , they might be able to start the following term with Mitch Mitchell and Ginger Baker early.
The final term is John Bonham.
