Sorry to burst your bubble, but the "myth" is true, if you heard good
drumming on the beatles albums, that was because Paul used to sneak into
the studio after hours to re-record the drum tracks, and un-do the
damage Ringo caused. Ringo was chosen for his presence and star quality,
but his drumming always sucked.
