I think heavy metal or whatever it was called passed me by. I was very into music when I was younger but after the Beatles I seemed to be doing other things. I liked some of what I would call the more mainstream stuff. There was an Imagine programme on about Ginger Baker the other night seemed an interesting fellow in an odd way! Must admit I didn't take much notice of drummers except perhaps Sandy Nelson.

My grandson is having drumming lessons (6 years old!) so as I had seen Ginger Baker and Cream at University (a long, long time ago) I sent my daughter a link to one of his drum solos. Two days later Ginger died. To be honest, I was really surprised that he was still alive up to that point!

Are you comparing?

Mick Fleetwood was good, but not in the same league as Ginger. Remember seeing him as part of the original Fleetwood Mac with Pete Green (when they were a proper blues band), in the 60s.

Speaking as a non-expert, I think both Mick and Ringo are good at what they do, good timing and tone, and not to be underestimated, but as you say, not in the same league as Ginger.
