Is it true he was doing a gig in Glasgow and some cheerless man in the audience shouted out …’please, is there no end to this guys talent?’

[steve @bagshaw2112]

Can you remember this guy. - in my opinion one of the most talented , nicest guys on our TVs in the 70s, 80s and 90s. . A brilliant multi talented performer .

Non-drummers…

[Balcony Shirts @balconyshirts]

I talk to people about music a lot and have done for my entire life and I’ve never spoken to anyone, ever, who thinks Ringo is a bad drummer, so where does the “Everyone thinks Ringo is a bad drummer” narrative come from?

[Beat-Roots @beatsroots]

Aw, my old mate! Ted McKenna on drums there. Miss him 😕

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

Womack & Womack’s “Teardrops” is an all-time absolute banger.

TV chef Fanny Craddock, who was basically not a very nice person.

[Beat-Roots @beatsroots]

This is a grade 8 Rock-school drum piece. I get all my drummers to learn it. Then I get them to play the Billy Cobham original from his great book - it’s so much better.

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

The groove on “Red Baron” is relentless.

[Beat-Roots @beatsroots]

The La’s. Every song is a banger. ❤️

You can say what you like about Switzerland🇨🇭 in #WorldCup2026 but at least their flag is a big plus…

[Beat-Roots @beatsroots]

Of all the comments I’ve seen on twitter about Anika’s drumming, yours are by far the most ill-informed yet. Well done, mate. 😂

[safeatanyspeed @safeatanyspeed]

@BizballMaury She drums like a Duracell bunny – there’s no soul in her playing – it’s just interpreted.

[Beat-Roots @beatsroots]

Bloody hard song to play on drums - and that guitar solo..! ❤️

[Love Music @khnh80044]

41 years later and this song still sounds timeless. It instantly takes you back to the magic of the '80s, bringing with it memories, emotions, and a sense of nostalgia that's impossible to explain. A true classic that never fades ❤️🎶✨
