Happy Birthday to Ringo Starr! Over the years people have not given Ringo the respect he deserves when it comes to his drumming ability. We are here today on his birthday to put that criticism to rest.

For years the rumor was that Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles, we are here to prove that he was and even possibly one of the greatest drummers in the entire world.

A few years ago a guy thankfully took to TikTok to show what made Ringo not your average drummer.

Here is the story on that:

Now, to further back up the fact that Ringo was an unbelievable drummer, here is the video of some fellow professional drummers talking about it.

I think this is the best example of the power that is Ringo Starr. You are about to hear from some of the world's greatest drummers explaining what made Ringo such a powerhouse behind the drum kit. As Dave Grohl said, Ringo created a style.

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest musicians to ever walk the earth Ringo Starr.

Let's take a look back at some amazing photos from the Beatles and Ringo:

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
