May go great with smoked meat and breakfast food. Hickory is a classic tree and flavor profile in the U.S., but because of a tree disease in the 19th century a lot of them died off. Hopefully they're making a comeback.

Zinn The Mood:

I don’t know, man.

The song is going out over a two-chord progression. Which is *exactly* the place that a drummer seeks to play (or is specifically asked to) or says something interesting. In this case, being slightly trippy, it may have called for a little more Ringo “A Day In The Life” simple kind of stuff.

But as a drummer I’m not that bothered by it. Except for maybe that fast single stroke roll around the set that could be seen as slightly out of place.

Overall it’s not that problematic, if at all. The criticism was a bit unnecessarily harsh.

Your show today, however, has been excellent though, thanks!

Been really enjoying the ever simmering bubbling
Drummers quips. (seems to be agitating to more than a mere simmer lately). However, I’ve heard less polite feelings expressed via fun music radio show “Sound Opinions” outta Chicago. One of the drummer hosts detests over-drummers (Keith Moon oft sited)
Personally, as a fellow amateur drummer, I adore all things “too drummy”. K.Moon, John ‘drumbo’ French, Jody Stephens (Big Star), XTC, that PiL Flowers of Romance album ! , etc etc.
ps: i too was quite impressed with Alice de Buhr when I went down the rabbit-hole with the FANNY back catalog a few years ago ! Whew (those live tv appearances / broadcasts !) … GO !

The most fundamental thing a Drummer can do is Keep Time. That counts for a lot.
Beyond that - Drumming is part of the overall Arrangement & Expression like every other Instrument &/or Voice. It's no less broad than that... So - there's Ensemble playing in that ...on both counts (Time Keeping & Accents alike...) - how players jive with each other. There's no accounting for 'Chemistry' like that... Sometimes truly Great Players don't work well together. Of course there are Pros who are super Capable & Reliable - & we exalt them for that.
KeithMoon - whatever his musical &/or personal liabilities - blew a giant hole in what was expected or even imagined in Rawk Drumming in the mid1960s - just as Townshend blew a hole in all our eardrums with the first Marshall stacks... That makes him one of the most important Players ever. Tragically - the same personal attributes that made him so dynamic in this regard made him increasingly unreliable - which is awful in yer Rhythm Section. & also created a lot of stress for people who cared about him - & took his life - if not @ 27 then soon enuff.

...Daltrey (for one) made the very good point that Moon 'got inside' the song & blew it apart from there. He illustrated how Moon followed & accentuated the Vocal ~ Singer by isolating just those two tracks in a mix. A Lead player from in back on a DrumStool. TheWho were a bit inside-out like that per band roles...

I'm not good at keeping a steady rhythm, so I admire all those who provide a good beat. Like you said, different directions of creativity, from Moon~Peart, and with Ringo as the balanced fulcrum, best valued for his steadiness and control.

He had "Uncle Keith" teach Zak how to drum, and it's good that someone has preserved Moonie's technique. But Ringo didn't teach him his own technique? Well, if his steadiness is his best virtue, you can't really 'teach' that.

Ringo is about Support in that Ensemble sense. Ringo was Always There - an absolute Champ like that. & what that little combo with a notable Writer or two that made some obscure Recordings most needed. He's never liked Soloing. But - he also had - for just those requirements - really great Range. & Swing. He has a distinct Voice that may don't credit him with. Beyond just 'Metronomic ability'. Partly from being a Lefty on a Righty Drumset. His accents.

Ringo's 'accents' are varied and distinct, his own comments to the standard beats that made them 'speak', and not just dryly keeping time. Definitely the ensemble player, but that's where he thrives.

I like the "Day in the Life" sessions, where you hear his sound evolving with the song; at first, he plays a textbook sort of fill to go with the vocals. Then he starts to add 'accents' and emphasize the parts of the song as the form becomes clearer and a concept develops.

Inversely, "I Can't Explain" has been noted as being a regular sort of song that Moonie made spectacular, by throwing the textbook away and going in a wild, unexpected direction.

Moon certainly had his influences & precedents in both Jazz & a few UK contemporaries. But there is something about what Moon pulled out of himself out of the sky - out of nowhere ...he was not only Significant & Revolutionary for Rawk - but Singular as a Creative - & both of these make him exalted in a way comparable to Hendrix.
That thing that is the Ultimate for Artists :
Something to Say.

There are lots of great pieces of music which I'm sure wouldn't be as great without the contributions of amazing drummers – and indeed, it's extremely likely that if the impossible experiment of going back in time and causing those songs to have been recorded at the same time but with less brilliant drummers could be conducted, I'd be here liking the songs less.

But I just don't seem to be built to tune into drumming and notice it consciously, unless something so unusual is going on there that I have no choice but to notice.

I'm sure it affects my overall enjoyment of the music, but drumming isn't something I usually HEAR consciously.
