"There were no great Rock drummers before Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, and Keith Moon".
Wow, such unashamed ignorance. So no Earl Palmer (Little Richard)? D.J. Fontana (Elvis Presley)? Fred Below? Below was the house drummer at Chess Records, playing on the recordings of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, etc. Is was he---as well as Palmer and Fontana---younger Rockers listened to to learn how to play Rock 'n' Roll. I could name a dozen more.
