Comments on: To Dig or Not to Dig Ringo http://www.robonzo.com/2006/09/to-dig-or-not-to-dig-ringo/ all about robonzo's love of drumming and music Mon, 09 Jan 2012 09:46:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Robonzo Drum Blog :: Radiohead’s Selway Proves there’s Life for Drummers after Twenty-five http://www.robonzo.com/2006/09/to-dig-or-not-to-dig-ringo/comment-page-1/#comment-21833 Robonzo Drum Blog :: Radiohead’s Selway Proves there’s Life for Drummers after Twenty-five Thu, 14 Aug 2008 06:04:54 +0000 http://www.robonzo.com/?p=13#comment-21833 [...] There’s a very old saying that goes, “Rock and Roll is a young man’s game.” Not true today. I’m perhaps stating the obvious, considering that there are dozens of drummers with extremely successful rock and pop acts that fit the “old-guy” category. However, Phil Selway belongs on a short-list of studs that have developed a great body of work and gigs with one of the world’s coolest bands. Outside of Radiohead and all the cool stuff they’ve been involved in over the past year, Selway has worked in numerous other projects ranging from gigs with Dive Dive to a part in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Technically, Selway is tastefully subdued. Could he someday reach that Ringo Starr status where we couldn’t imagine anyone else playing for Radiohead? I’m unsure, but as a latecomer fan of Radiohead, I find his work to be perfect in its simplicity.

I'm not surprised to hear he was perhaps paying homage to Ringo. Funny thing is, my first exposure to Bissonnette was during his stint with David Lee Roth. I didn't think much of him. I of course later found that he was a beast in his real life. David, How cool that you recently caught a Gregg Bissonette clinic. I’m not surprised to hear he was perhaps paying homage to Ringo.

At a recent UK clinic (http://blog.caruana.co.uk/2006/11/12/gregg-bissonette-review/), Gregg Bissonette demonstrated fills from Strawberry Fields. Since then, I've been listening to Beatle tracks and now really appreciate how much Ringo swings. To Dig, of course.
