When it comes to Beatles, we see a lot of Paul McCartney around – in concert, on vacations, interviews etc. But we tend to forget that Ringo Starr, 82, lives in LA. He has homes in several countries but spends most of his time here. Did you know he’s the richest drummer in the world? (Estimated: 350 million) After The Beatles split up, he got involved in more money-making projects than any of his bandmates. He married model (and former Bond Girl) Barbara Bach in 1981, and in 1988 they checked into rehab together. That cemented their relationship, and they’ve been together ever since. (Ringo and his All-Starr Band are appearing at The Greek Theater in October)

I prefer Nick Mason of Pink Floyd
It must be a lot of work to keep up the dye job for the facial hair, not to mention the hair on his head.
82? Wow, he looks amazing. Very underrated artist. The other Beatles always got all the credit but he is very talented on his own.
His All Star band lineups are always good.
Check out the YouTube clips with Dave Edmunds playing.
This is a must see show when they are playing close.
Phil Collins is the best drummer ever.
John Bonham is undoubtedly one of the best rock ‘n roll drummers of all time. Fans knew Bonham changed rock drumming forever the minute they heard him
Neil Peart of Rush
I think Ginger Baker of Cream was better
Come on, guys!
Keith Moon and y’all know it!!
Buddy Rich people , Buddy Rich
Ringo’s All Star lineup is always excellent!
But anyways always remember,
“nuthin dumber than a drummer!”
Everyone knows bass is the most important instrument.
