Henley the guitar man?

[Shadowland07]

IMO Don's best drumming is shown on On The Border. I love his drumming. He certainly rocks out. "Outlaw Man" from the Seattle show definately shows that.

He's an ace drummer and well respected in the world of drummers who know what theyre talking about. He is powerful and perfect for this band just like Ringo Starr was for the Beatles.

Anyone who says Don Henley is a poor drummer knows nothing about music.

Don is a band drummer, and as RC says, is perfect for the Eagles, like Ringo Starr was for The Beatles. Ringo has had similar comments made about him, but it needs to be said about Ringo too, that the Beatles sound that eventually emerged in 1962 was completed by Ringo - the Beatles never did sound quite as good before he entered the picture.

It is interesting also to note that Don once defended Ringo, saying that he learnt a lot from him, and thinks he is a great drummer, in spite of a lot of negative comments from others.

Well said RC and Mrs. F!

I will defend Ringo to the skies (Rain! Revolver album! Ticket To Ride! etc etc), but I don't want to divert the thread from Don. I love Don's work in King Of Hollywood. I could listen to that all day.

Yes, Don and Ringo are definitely in the same bag as drummers, very tasteful. Drummers like that are hard to find nowadays
